Razorbacks’ Courtney Deifel on winning first SEC Tournament title, NCAA
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas is one of the big deals in college softball now.
That hasn’t happened before.
For Razorbacks coach Courtney Deifel, those rough first few years building the program weren’t easy, but she has endured.
But she isn’t dwelling on the blowouts.
Auburn beat them once in the early years scoring 54 runs in a series.
“That was in 15 innings, too,” Deifel said on The Morning Rush on ESPN Aransas on Tuesday morning. “In year one (2016) those weren’t the games that were the toughest.”
It’s routine for coaches to put games like that out of their mind. Blowouts aren’t memories anybody wants to keep around.
“It was those games we were winning in the seventh and then gave it away,” she said. “We just didn’t know how to finish.”
They’ve figured that out, especially at Bogle Park. The Hogs are 44-9 this season (24-4 at home).
That’s a key stat to remember. Being selected a fourth seed in the NCAA Tournament that starts this week in Fayetteville, they will play all their games at home.
And they’ve gotten better over the course of the season.
“We’re playing much better now,” she said. “We know we’re going to get everybody’s best.”
The Razorbacks will play their first game in the NCAA Tournament at Bogle Park against Princeton on Friday at 5 p.m. on the SEC Network and Fubo.tv.
Here’s is the complete tournament schedule:

Razorbacks going back to Coke welcome change for fans
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —Arkansas is in the final stages of negotiations to make Coca-Cola the university’s exclusive non-alcoholic cold beverage sponsor and provider once again.
The university recently issued written notice of its intent to award the contract to Coca-Cola, contingent on completion of a mutually acceptable agreement.

The planned deal will cover a 10-year period and will take effect July 1. Prior to the current agreement with PepsiCo that ends on June 30th, 2022, Coca-Cola was the beverage provider for the UA for many decades.
“We are glad to have the opportunity to partner with The Coca-Cola Company and Ozarks Coca-Cola Bottling Company to bring Coke products to our campus and athletic events,” said interim Chancellor Charles Robinson. “It’s important to point out that this new agreement will also benefit our students in the form of internship opportunities and funding for student scholarships.
“Funding will also support sustainability efforts on campus. I’m grateful to the evaluation committee and to all those at the university who have played a role in establishing this new partnership.”
Coca-Cola was selected to be the university’s exclusive cold beverage sponsor after submitting the best overall proposal in a competitive selection process.
Once completed, the Coca-Cola agreement will consist of an initial fixed-length term and a series of annual renewal options that will run through June 2032.
As part of the contract, a variety of Coca-Cola cold beverages will be available on campus, including Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, BodyArmor and Minute Maid.
In addition, Dr Pepper and Monster brands, distributed in the region by Ozarks Coca-Cola, will also be available. Gatorade will continue to be the official Isotonic Drink Sponsor of Razorback Athletics.
Along with supplying campus dining facilities and vending machines, Coca-Cola products will be served at Razorback Athletics venues.
As part of the agreement, the university will recognize Coca-Cola as the exclusive beverage sponsor in various university athletic venues such as Razorback Stadium, Bud Walton Arena, Baum-Walker Stadium, Bogle Park, Barnhill Arena and John McDonnell Field. Coca-Cola will have opportunities to showcase its brand on campus through sponsored events and initiatives.
“For decades, fans cheered on the Razorbacks while enjoying a beverage from Coca-Cola,” athletics director Hunter Yurachek said. “With this new partnership, students, faculty, staff members and fans will once again have access to a variety of Coca-Cola products whether they are attending class, visiting campus or ‘Calling the Hogs’ at one of our athletics venues.
“We are appreciative of the investment Ozarks Coca-Cola and The Coca-Cola Company have made in the future of our University and the continued success of Razorback Athletics.”
“The Ozarks Coca-Cola family along with The Coca-Cola Company are honored to bring that special Coca-Cola refreshment back to the University of Arkansas,” said Sally Hargis, chairman of the board for Ozarks Coca-Cola Bottling Company. “We understand the strength of Razorback nation and what the university means to our surrounding community.
“We are excited to show our commitment to the University through strong work ethic, pride, professionalism, and tireless service to students, fans, faculty, staff, and guests. Let’s call those Hogs!”
The contract’s total value, including ancillary benefits, will not be known until final negotiations have been completed.

Sam Pittman, Georgia staff members key to picking up transfer wide receiver
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — After a visit last week, Matt Landers’ decision Sunday he was transferring to Arkansas wasn’t especially surprising.
Multiple reports had quoted the wide receiver’s choice being about seeing familiar faces from his first three years at Georgia.
Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman, special teams coach Scott Fountain and others were in Athens when he was recruited to play for the Bulldogs.

Prior to Toledo, Landers played in 25 games for Georgia. He caught two passes for 27 yards against the Hogs in the season opener in 2020.
Landers, 6-5, 200, had a very good second half of season at Toledo in 2021 catching 20 passes for 514 yards and five touchdowns.
The Hogs also added Oklahoma’s leading transfer in Jadon Haselwood but they are primarily stocked with a host of inexperience at wide receiver trying to fill a big hole left with Treylon Burks going to the Tennessee Titans in the NFL Draft.
Projected 2022 Wide Receiver Lineup
4-star Jaquayln Crawford (5-10, 181, R-Sr.)
4-star Warren Thompson (6-3, 193, R-Sr.)
5-star Jadon Haselwood (6-3, 211, R-Jr.)
NR Harper Cole (5-9, 176, R-So.)
4-star Ketron Jackson (6-2, 209, So.)
3-star Matt Landers (6-5, 200, R-Sr.
3-star Bryce Stephens (6-0, 173, R-Fr.)
3-star Jaedon Wilson (6-3, 180, R-Fr.)
