Big 12 Standings

The Big 12 Conference website shows aggy at. 714 and the Horns at. 708. Is this current? If so, our Horns have some work to do.

Texas needs to win 2 out of 3 against Aggy......anything less will be a complete disaster!

We should have swept corn, but whatever. Hopefully they can beat Aggy some.

Seems like this year we are destined to lose one game in every 3 game series.

3-5 on Sunday games this season in Big XII play (5 of our 7 losses). Last year I believe we were either 8-1 or 9-0 on Sundays. That is the difference between being in a virtual tie or a game down to aggy aftern next weekend and running away with the conference.

Regardless, whoever wins the aggy series wins the regular season title at this point.

We need nebby to take at least one from aggy this weekend.

We also had Workman going on Sundays last year. He could've been an ace on anybody elses team

Dropping Sundays game doesn't change much about our series with Aggie. Even assuming they sweep Neb, we'd still just need to win the series to be tops in the Big12. Yes, now we may finish with same record, but we'd still have the h-2-h and series win. Regardless, we win the series, we finish ahead. Without winning the series, I wouldn't have wanted to win the conference in that manner anyway. I would like to see Aggie drop one just to have the higher record, but the series win would suit me just fine. We'd be #1 seed at conf. tourney and higher in all polls.

BigXII uses the conf. games W-L percentage to rank; and aggy has played 3 fewer games. It's not apples to apples at this point.

I'm willing to concede our Sunday game with aggy to them.

Aggy's series with Nebraska doesn't matter...if Texas beats A&M two of three they win the conference.

Who is pitching for us in the a&m games?

 

[Rex Kramer]

Of course their series with Nebraska matters. If they get swept, we do not need to win 2 of 3

Let's look at the bigger picture here for a minute. There are several teams in the polls around 4-12 spots with comparable records, accomplishments, etc. A slip up at this point is gonna be very costly. Regardless if Aggie got swept by Neb and we could afford to lose the series with them and still win Big12...doing so would cause us problems in the polls and post-season seeding. By problems I just mean I believe we'd drop more spots than one would think and likely lose the right to host a super.

Since Aggie won't get swept this weekend...the series between us will have much more on the line than just conference implications. The national implications are huge, as important people who make postseason decisions will be looking to see who is the frontrunner and superior club between us. IMO, we need to at least take 2 of 3...thus leading the Big12, and locking in a home super.

But, we have to win the series to win the Lone Star Showdown trophy!!!
