In a Hog Pod first, this episode was recorded live on location at Tusker’s Tavern in Fayetteville, bringing fans face-to-face with the energy of the show. Host Bo Mattingly sits down with Razorback baseball assistant coach Bobby Wernes for an unforgettable conversation that spans his playing days, coaching career, and the life-changing moments that brought him to Arkansas.

Wernes shares the incredible story of how a random encounter at a Christian sports camp in Branson led to an offer from legendary coach Dave Van Horn — a moment he credits as divine intervention. He opens up about the misery of junior college baseball, nearly quitting the sport altogether, and how perseverance reshaped his future.

The conversation dives into his transition from standout third baseman for the Hogs (2014–2015) to minor league pro, and eventually to a coaching role that now has him manning third base once again — this time from the coach’s box. Wernes also discusses the intensity of coaching at Arkansas, the quirks of sending runners home, and the overwhelming pride he feels working under Van Horn.
