After the No. 5 Arkansas Razorbacks (37-9; 14-7 SEC) were upset by the Florida Gators (30-16; 8-13 SEC) 9-5 in Game 3, losing their third consecutive SEC series, Razorback Nation should worry about how the Hogs will finish the rest of the season. Arkansas will face the most brutal part of its schedule in its final 10 games.

On Tuesday, the Hogs must go on the road to Missouri State, a team that edged the Hogs at Baum-Walker Stadium in the previous game this season between the two teams. The last nine games are a gauntlet: a home series against Texas, a road series at LSU, and a home series against Tennessee.

With how the Hogs have performed over the past three weekends, it is not unreasonable to entertain the possibility of losing all 10 remaining games. Given how they have played lately, what inspires confidence in them winning any of these remaining games? If the Hogs do not step on the field with the mindset they had in the second game of the weekend series against Florida and with better pitching and hitting strategies, the team's final regular season record will look vastly different from the one expected of the former top-ranked team in the nation.  

After the No. 5 Arkansas Razorbacks lost the series to the Florida Gators, many Arkansas fans and media expressed disappointment and serious concerns about the rest of the season on social media.

Arkansas vs. Florida: Game 3 Social Media Reactions

RazorbackHobbs tried to offer a little hope for the Arkansas Razorbacks: "In the last 9 SEC games played, Arkansas has scored more runs than their opponents. Baseball is a funny game." If "Baseball is a funny game," then it is ironic that many in Razorback Nation are not laughing. Therefore, many Hog fans are searching for this elusive humor.

ToothlessDevo, an Arkansas Razorbacks fan, responded to RazorbackHobbs: "In the last 9 SEC games played, Arkansas has won 3 games. Big congrats on your moral victory stats! Now win."

William H. Snead III, a Hog fan, stated, "Losing 6 series is going to really, really sting. Every facet of this team has been just...stinky rn..."

John Nabors, Owner of Inside Arkansas, continues to put faith in what is possible when the Razorbacks begin postseason play.

John Daly Jr Fan JJ, an Arkansas fan, blames Dave Van Horn's passionate support of Nate Thompson for the struggles the Razorbacks are experiencing.

Daniel Shi, an Arkansas beat writer at Sports Illustrated, stated, "It's the second straight weekend that Arkansas has managed zilch against a team's top relief arm."

Kendall Rogers, Co-Owner of D1Baseball said, "That's three straight series losses for the #Razorbacks."

Alyssa Orange, an Arkansas sports reporter, contended that Arkansas has problems they must address to experience success in their remaining games.

Uncle Cocktail, a Hog fan, asserted that "This Arkansas baseball team is so inconsistent. All the talent in the world but just can't get it together. From looking untouchable to back to average."

K Money, a Razorback fan, is "officially concerned."

David Marts, an Arkansas Razorbacks fan, wrote, "The pitching staff is horrible. It is what it is."
