Next weekend's conference series:
Baylor @ Kansas State
Oklahoma @ Nebraska
Texas @ Missouri
Texas A&M @ Kansas
Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is going to be an interesting final weekend, to say the least. There are a ton of things that can happen here.

Oklahoma, despite currently being the #4 seed in the Big 12 Tourney, can still get the #2. If OU takes 2 of 3 from Nebraska (who has lost 6 of 7) and OSU loses the series to Tech, OU gets the #2 seed. If OU wins the series against Nebraska, they will be the #3 seed at worst. Nebraska would fall back to #4.

If OU gets swept by Nebraska and Baylor sweeps Kansas State, OU falls back to the #5 seed. But as long as OU wins one, they will finish 4th at worst, since they have tiebreaker over Baylor.

So going into the final weekend, it is extremely possible for OU to finish anywhere between 2nd place to 5th place.

Texas locked up the conference this weekend. Their magic number was three coming into the weekend, and Nebraska took care of that by getting swept.

Texas A&M can still make the Big 12 Tournament, but it won't be easy. A&M needs Texas to sweep Missouri and they need to sweep Kansas in Lawrence. A&M is 0-9 away from home in conference play.

Wow, our situation sounds like basketball...right down with the struggle to score.

The glee really DOES come through the screen, doesn't it?

I just never thought I'd get a chance to take one last shot at Calvin...

Yet somehow backwards. We've already replaced this coach with a newer/younger 'non-big-name'.

Thanks for the awsome update.

Man them Sooners let one slip away this weekend...
