not really. 

I agree with the premise that it will likely be two.

    Except, Texas couldn’t beat A&M this season and lost 80% of the rest of the games they played against the SEC.

    If Texas can beat Tech, A&M can.  I would guess A&M actually has a better ERA, Batting Average, and Scoring compared to Texas.  All of this against a tougher schedule resulting in a better rec

Oklahoma State, Texas, and OU are all still alive for at least a share of the conference championship. An outright title would have to be won by either Oklahoma State or Texas. 

2 next weekend assures 2nd place in conference. Which is a decent season for a team with shaky starting and a worse bullpen. 

Looks like if Texas sweeps and oSu drops two we tie? And we likely get the tie breaker? If Texas sweeps and oSu is swept we win outright. If we win 2/3 and oSu is swept we tie again. Do I have that right?

Correct.  Just like basketball, and football in 2014, the teams would be considered "Co-champions" if they have the same record at the end of the season, but Texas would be the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament due to head-to-head.

It's created kind of a conundrum, bc if Ok St limps to their regular season conference crown, Texas and TTU could be hosts for regionals while Ok St wouldn't be. Not saying that's never happened before, but I'm sure it's rare.

Even though Baylor helped Texas out a lot, Ok St is still firmly in the driver's seat. Even if Texas is perfect, OSU only has to win 1 game to be considered co-champs, and 2 to be outright

If you had told me at the beginning of the season we would go into the last weekend with a shot at the conference championship I would have taken that in a heartbeat.

Hoping we sweep the cockroaches is just setting one's self up for disappointment.  I'm more concerned with keeping the dirt burglars off our ass.

Leave it to my Pokes to make things interesting.  Nothing is ever easy for us, lol.

Sounds like TCU might be down another starter against Texas. A.J Balta ran into the outfield wall and did something to his back.

Marshall @ West Virginia CANCELED

Kansas State @ Wichita State (KSU 7-3)

TCU @ Stephen F Austin (TCU 8-4)

Texas State @ Texas (UT 6-2)

Typical tcu to get hot when it matters when people think they’re falling off. Still, this year’s hole they dug was far deeper than any years past. Coupled with the fact that they’ve had some terrible luck with injuries. 

Starting to think with how congested teams ranked 9-25 is becoming, it could legitimately take a sweep to stay in serious hosting contention. 

Thats not all bad though. I’d take the Stetson or Minnesota regional projections rather than being host matched up with the 1-3 overall national seeds in supers along with probably one of the best 2 seeds of all the regionals

Reposting here... where it belongs not in Texas thread. Sorry

 

Don't want to start a new topic about the MSU Baseball Coach search but the Hot name that is looking very realistically is Jim Schlossnagle

Opinions on Schloss? and how happy would Texas be to get him out of the conference. 

I have watched a handful of games between y'all and it's always very entertaining. 

Other names being mentioned are Dan McDonnell and Tim Corbin. Tadlock of Tech was mentioned also but Cohen is all but saying we have our guy already. 

 

Quotes from an Interview with AD John Cohen interview yesterday on a radio show. 

 Will this position pay 1.5 mil+? "The coaches we are considering make a lot of money. This position will pay at the top of the scale"

- The new coach has multiple CWS experience 

- The interest for this job has been above my expectations. We've had interest from Hall of Fame coaches. 

- We will not disrupt someone's season by naming coach early.

No need to be sorry,   We are not the most organized.

Schloss is one of the best.    His strength is the staff he hires and he is the CEO.    It would be a loss to the B12 if he departs.   Most would prefer he stay.

Thursday-Saturday (5/17-5/19):

Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State

TCU @ Texas

Oklahoma @ Kansas

Baylor @ West Virginia

Kansas State @ San Francisco

That's a nice win for KSU over Wichita State.

And...here comes the Poke Choke...
Kind of, but this was never really a championship caliber team. They started poorly, got hot, and are finishing poorly.

Like I said earlier, Tech is going to rake against Oklahoma State. Tech should have more runs than 8 tonight.

Not as bad as rooting for blOwU, which is never good.

 

Shame it comes at the expense of our OSU brethren, though.

Not exactly a ground breaking revelation there.

So we are 2 clear of ou with 2 to play and th tiebreaker, right?  #2 seed locked in and hunting for 1?

No doubt.

Our friends in Lubbock taking care of business (no jinx).  

So here we go if I have this right at 37,000ft. and 6 drinks into the flight:

We split with TCU, OSU loses two Tech: Texas #1

We split with TCU, OSU splits with Tech: Texas #2

We split with TCU, OSU wins two vs. Tech: Texas #2

We win both TCU, OSU loses two Tech: Texas #1

We win both TCU, OSU splits with Tech: Texas #1

We win both TCU, OSU wins two vs. Tech: Texas #2

I won't entertain the notion we drop the next two versus TCU.  

Even a pessimist, regardless of OSU's conundrum, would say we split versus TCU this weekend and take 2 or 3 in OKC next weekend...we actually have to make plans to host a regional or be #2 while Stetson comes to Austin from their podunk stadium to be #1 seed.

Correct, thanks to the guts from Nolan Kingham and a hilarious choke on behalf of the gooners. They scored 4 runs in the top of the ninth, then surrendered 4 runs in the bottom of the gram and lost it in the 10th. They could miss out on the field of 64 if they keep screwing around

It’s still Texas #2 irrespective of what ou and osu do.

Baylor is right on the top 50 RPI line.  Need them to win at WVU.  We will have a nice, competitive top tier RPI record if so.  We are currently at #17 in the RPI.  

Sweep TCU, and sweep the Big 12 tournament for a National seed?  I mean, we are Texas, right?

Not surprised. I figured they would end up 4th or 5th in the conference after we played them.

Texas plays at 12:30 and Oklahoma State plays at 4 on Wednesday:

 

What's the point of setting the UT & OSU game times now?  I get the fact that we are the top 2 seeds, but we don't yet know which team is which, right?

Maybe to try to encourage ticket sales?

Seems like the more advantageous game time should go to the top seed (however "advantageous" would be defined).

The time is set up to get the most Okies out there to watch Oklahoma State. Keeping the number of Okies in the stands as low as possible benefits Texas. So therefore the times are most advantageous to both teams.

Fuck ou

Just need Tech's pitching staff to be decent because right now Oklahoma State's pitching staff stands no chance against this Tech lineup.
