Yeah, first place in (a weaker than usual) Big XII ain't too shabby.Good and better than expected.

We're currently leading the conference and can win it depending on what happens next weekend, right? Got to be proud of our frogs right nowwith everything that has happened this season with injuries on the pitching staff, issues with the bull pen, the hitting lulls, how do some here view the frogs season in conference play?

I'm aware, but as of right now, we are in first, and I'm happy about that.Don't make room in the trophy case just yet. OU @ Tech next weekend will determine the final standings.
- Tech Sweep = Tech takes the outright Big 12 title and the #1 tournament seed
- OU Sweep = OU and TCU each clinch a share of the title and seeding and possible further split depend on OSU's weekend.
- 2-1 split in either direction: TCU clinches a share and the #1 tournament seed
For TCU to take the outright title, OU has to win 2 and OSU has to drop one to Baylor.
Heat advisory. Too dangerous for those boys to play.When will they announce that the possibility of severe weather on Tuesday will prevent Tarleton from making the trip up from Stephenville?
In fairness it didn’t take an ounce of prophetic ability to realize we weren’t gonna play the team with an RPI of 262 in a midweek game. Biggest question for me is why was it even scheduled knowing your final series starts on Thursday.Pharm called it!
It seems like every year at this time we have a game that, even if we win, we lose in RPI.
Tech plays OU out-of-conference in Amarillo each year. OU and OSU play OOC twice each year. Options exist for Frogs to play DBU, Ag, Texas State, UTSA, Sam, UH, Rice, ORU, Louisiana, La Tech, Arkansas, and of course UTA. Unfortunately UTA is having a really bad year and Rice is not what it used to be. Still got UTRGV and AgCC as options and put Lamar in there as well. And then there’s SMU and University of North Texas. I do think ACU will get better as they are mid-100s this year (thanks in large part to Frogs and Tech). Hard to predict how good how some of these teams will be year to year but there are options before you get to going in-conference for OOC.Really the only remedy for this is to play DBU late in the season on Tuesdays. Not sure it's ever been done before but why not play them 4x on Tuesdays instead of 2?? Eliminate some Tartleton State and ACU games with a good team that helps our RPI.
And of coarse there is Aggie 2.5 hours away that we could play twice on Tuesdays late in the year that would be a PERFECT tuneup for regionals.

I’d be very surprised if there are less than 80% of online classes in the spring for these players.There may be contracted games scheduled out years in advance, with a cancellation notice if needed in there. I think the mid-week game is primarily imagined as a 2-hour or less bus ride for travel. During the scholastic weeks, this is a good idea. Now that Finals are over and that 8am MWF is no longer a consideration, you have a lot more flexibility.
I especially like the Baylor series as a non-Conference matchup. Kick 'em out!
