Currently 4.5 to 2.5, 'sips:

Ags: men's bb .5, womens bb .5, indoor/outdoor track 4, golf 1 (from either), mens tennis 1, softball .5

Total: 10 pts, Ags win, almost no room for error.

Definitely going to be a tight race down to the end. Hopefully we can pull off an upset or two. Based off the past 3 years, another one coupled with the volleyball win from earlier could prove huge.

Getting both Softball and Men's tennis will be nearly impossible.

arent we top 10 in Tennis and playing at home?

I think we can pull out at least a split in softball.

tu's men's tennis lost two studs and only has one freshman I heard will play at #6. Friday's match in Houston will be a good measuring sticks. No chance in women's tennis.

Close match loss (3-4) against t.u., but the one that counts is in April.

Sips lead 6-2.5 after Men's swimming this weekend.

Currently 7- 5 sips.

I believe we'll split Golf (1 pt), split softball (1/2 pt) win Mens Tennis (1pt) sweep Track (2 pts)

and be up 9.5 to 8.5 with baseball left.

above prediction still holds. We lost women's golf today (our ladies came in a close 2nd to the 'sips by 3 strokes) but we have a chance for men to win this week.

Our men's tennis came through- way to go guys!

Current standings are Texas 8.5- Ags 6.0

We still have softball at home and the ladies are playing well.

We then have both track teams with great chance to come up with two there, and then on to baseball finale which will likely determine it.

I think we win MGolf, softball, and both Track to make it 9.5-8.5 in our favor going into baseball. Since 'sips won the LSS last year, they retain trophy if they finish 9.5-9.5.

Currently, after the women's golf loss, it is actually 8 1/2 to 6. I am assuming that we will win men's golf and both track and fields. That will make it 8 1/2 to 9. If the horns win softball, it will be 9 to 9 going into baseball. However, if the Ags win softball, it will be 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 (Ags). Looks like it is coming down to baseball.

right you are. i think i said 8.5 to 6 above. The only one we can lose is softball.

It doesnt matter much, but in the event we don't sweep the other events, it would be nice to win softball and maybe salvage a 9.5 - 9.5 tie (though they retain the trophy)

Luckily, men's golf and track and field are easily the events we are mostly likely to win this year. Losing the point in any one of those three would be quite surprising. I like our odds in baseball, too.

We've done it before. We wound up 2nd last year after everyone not named Oklahoma State collapsed. 6 strokes is next-to-nothing to make up with 4 scores counting. Nobody's played anywhere near their best yet, so we've got a chance for a huge final-day push.

I think the final two rounds are played on consecutive days (one round/day), so we'll finish tomorrow. Currently 4 strokes back of t.u. and 7 down to osu.

Men Golfers do it! now 8.5 to 7.0, with women's softball up next.

Ags need to win the three remaining points of Mtrack, Wtrack, and baseball (baseball needs to take 2 of 3 games)

Softball win in College station gets us a 1/2 point and would give us a tie in the event one of our three remaining teams doesn't come home with a victory.

I'm seeing 10.5-8.5 as a final tally, in favor of the Fightin' Texas Aggies!

softball win was huge imo. i know we need to sweep track and hardball to win and really believe we can, but i like the option of tying if things don't work out. couldn't care less about who "keeps the cup" as a tie is a whale of a lot better than losing.

nice to see someone gets it. those saying softball was "irrelevant" I think lost sight of the forest.

I think a tie should result in the cup changing hands. That means the previous year the other team won (in theory) so a tie means that the losing team improved so they should get the bonus of the trophy.

I think I'd prefer they just split it.


or else, go to equestrian for the tiebreaker

They need to add a .5 point event that would prevent a tie from ever happening.

Making football worth 1.5 pts would solve the tie issue as well.

Making each baseball game worth 0.5 pts would, too.

making baseball worth more than football? Doubt that's going to happen.

No sport should be more important then any other for this competition. If it's a tie, so be it. And if it's a tie, neither school should get the cup as neither showed it had the better program for the year.

Make each baseball game worth 1/3 point, then barring a sweep a tie would be impossible.

Heckuva nice comeback by the Ags. Down 5 to 7.5, Ag take 4.5 out of the next 5.5 points.

Congrats to M Tennis, M Golf, Softball, M Track, W Track!

Ags have clinched a tie, and now need to win 2 baseball games this week for the victory.

My original projection had us at 10 by this time, but I missed on the men's basketball sweep.

if basketball had split like they normally do, would have had it tied up before baseball even started.
