My read on the other Big 12 teams outside of Texas this year:

TCU- Replacing 2 of 3 rotation guys but returning some key relievers, got Austin Davis from WVU and Tre Richardson from Baylor to add to their lineup. Braden Traylor back for his 12th year of eligibility. Should be a contender.

Tech- Replacing 2 of 3 rotation guys, lost Jung to the draft and several other talented hitters. I'm only seeing 4 returning starters in the lineup. I see them as a middle of the pack team.

OSU- Replacing their entire weekend rotation but right up there with TCU in my mind. Added Watts-Brown through the portal, got McLean back after his deal fell through with the Orioles. Riggio back. They should be pretty good.

OU- Also replacing their entire rotation, but get Spikerman, Pettis, Muniz and a few other hitters back. They have huge pitching marks on the pitching side but brought in a few good transfers. They definitely won't be as good as last year.

West Virginia- Going to have a chance every Friday night with Ben Hampton on the mound but they are going to be pretty bad. Lost Austin Davis to TCU so their lineup is a huge question mark.

Kansas State- Another team that looks like they will have no pitching. Hassell out of the year with TJ. Goodwin and Johnson will anchor their lineup but I don't see them as a top half team in the conference.

Kansas- This team was awful last year and then lost their 3 best players (Ahuna, Josenberger and Vanderhei). I only recognize about 4 names on the roster.

Baylor- Equally as bad. Returning 1 position player. Were awful on the mound last year.

Teams who want to compete for the conference title need to go like 10-2 in their 12 games against WVU, KSU, KU and Baylor.

I can see KU sucking at baseball, but what excuse does Baylor have?  Holy shit, they were terrible last year.  Hard to imagine they could be worse.

Fuck Baylor always and forever.  RIP Queso, you are remembered. Amen.

Nah, if you do that you have to reroute I-35. Much more interesting to pass through smoldering ruins every October.

This is the most question marks I can remember a Tech team having in a while. First time since like 1990 they don’t have a Jung in the lineup.

One does not simply fire Steve Rodríguez and then have a good team the next year.

They are ridiculously good offensively this year. Got Braden Taylor back for like his 10th year, added Tre Richardson from Baylor and Austin Davis from WVU, somehow got Anthony Silva on campus when he should have been a borderline first round pick.

Meanwhile we brought in a TCU cast off and a pitcher(?) … am I missing anyone? It’s just shocking that we either couldn’t attract top transfers or pierce thought we were good enough. Does our baseball NIL program suck or something?

We brought in 9 transfers if you include the juco guys: OF Porter Brown, INF Tanner Carlson, C Garret Guillemette, RHP Charlie Hurley, RHP Heston Tole, RHP Cody Howard, LHP David Shaw, RHP DJ Burke and LHP Chris Stuart. I also wouldn’t consider Brown a castoff. He was a San Antonio kid who was looking for a fresh start but is a good player who would have played at TCU this year.

Joe Cook mentioned yesterday that we were in on several high profile transfers that chose other places due to NIL (RHP Juaron Watts-Brown for example, he picked Oklahoma State and is their Friday night guy). Watt-Brown visited Texas before OSU. Cook said our NIL setup was not what it is now and we should be in a better place moving forward. I believe the baseline that all players are receiving this year is $10K, which can go a long way in baseball when you don’t have full scholarships to hand out. The goal in the future is to never have a baseball guy who has to pay for school out of pocket.

Skenes was never happening the moment Tulo announced he wanted to step away to be with his wife and newborn. Tulo had some sort of family connection with Skenes I believe.

Plus Skenes is a stud that everyone wanted. Why would it be a layup?

Mainly because of the bromance Texas and Air Force had last year. Just seemed like after we eliminated them in the regional, Skenes was ready to join the team. 

Baylor drops their series to Central Michigan

OU in a dogfight with Cal Baptist to try to avoid a series loss (tied at 3 in the 7th)

The conference is way down this season. It'll be interesting to see who gets their shit together most - probably TCU.

Big 12 took it on the chin this weekend outside of TCU and Tech taking the first 3 from a semi-solid Gonzaga program. Not gonna include KSU taking 3 from Stephen F Austin or KU taking 2 of 3 from mighty Valpo in that statement.

Three games today on espn+

11:00 AM Gonzaga vs. Texas Tech

3:00 PM Air Force vs. Oklahoma

6:30 PM Kansas State vs. Stephen F. Austin

I have the Air Force-OU game on and I didn't catch the beginning of the story but apparently the Air Force team sometimes gets to travel in Air Force Two (VP's jet) when it's not in use.  I'm not sure if they took it to Norman today.

Air Force coach just got tossed. 2nd and 3rd 2 ours with his best hitter up and they called an auto strike as he was stepping into the box with 2 strikes to end the inning.

Three run homer puts AF up 6-4 in the 5th.  ou sucks.

ou wins it 8-6

I watched quite a bit of OU the last couple of days and I am not impressed at all at what they are putting out there on the mound. Was a red flag when they trotted out Kale Davis as their Friday night starter and he was reliever for OSU last year.
