It did hurt losing that series, but it also really helped winning the Tech series. I think Texas is in good position to host a regional. A Sweep of TCU would be nice though.

Don’t shit the bed against TCU(win at least one) and make a decent run in the conference tournament and I’m betting we host
I agree that series doesn't look good. However, series wins over OSU, OU and Tech are impressive.
Very true. But greatness stems from taking some you aren't expected while ALSO taking care of the ones you're supposed to. We did excel at some games we weren't expected to, which is awesome. But then we shot ourselves in the foot with losing to WVU and KSt. Had we simply won just one more of each of those, we'd be sitting way closer to the Big XII title. Now, we need OkSt to lose most of their remaining games.
Unfortunately, this is a trend I see across-the-board in our men's sports. Basketball pulls off impressive wins against top teams in the league, but then lose bunny shots against the bottom feeders. Football plays OU and OkSt as close as can be, almost pulls off the upset at USC, *does* pull off the upset against WVU, and then drops an egg at home in the season finale against subpar Tech.
It has indeed been an unbelievably sh*tty decade in the big three sports at Texas. I'm completely done with hype for any of these teams before they actually accomplish something significant, but I'm hopeful that Del Conte will take us in the right direction over the next few years -- with or without our current coaches.
Baseball has at least performed better than I anticipated this year, though not really in the way I would have expected (surprisingly strong offense). If only our pitching were even close to meeting preseason expectations.
Baylor is trying to help us out this weekend. Six outs away from taking the series against the Pokes.
Looks like Tech should hold off OSU in their game as well. If we both get wins again tomorrow, Saturday is going to be a very interesting finish.
Getting closer! Magic number is 3 now. Either we win 2 and Tech wins 1, or we win 1 and Tech wins 2. Would be great if we swept TCU and Tech sweeps Ok St and we win Big XII outright with the best record.
Really good ball game. Big boy AB by Clemens there. Texas probably locked in as a host for regional now with a chance to win at least a share of the conference title tomorrow
Texas controls its own destiny now. Win tomorrow and the Horns win the Big 12 regular season title!
Yep. Dangerous team come tournament time. I think they hav3 a legit shot at Omaha.
Longhorns are big 12 champs and will host a regional(most likely)
That brings us to 78 regular-season conference championships in baseball. Not too shabby!
Speaking of championships, last night I was at the Jamail swim center for my daughters swim meet. I had never been there before. If you go to Erwin center or other school arenas, you see “conference champion xx year”, “sweet 16 xx year”, etc. At the Jamail center? Only “National Champions “ banners, and lots of them. Very cool.
Did they have the underwater surround sound speakers blasting tunes? (very cool btw)
