I expect us to bypass Arkansas this weekend and widen the gap on Stanford a bit. BUT I expect OSU to pass us with some good W swimming and ice hockey this weekend. They also have good wrestling and fencing the following weekend so I think they will continue to hold the edge. 

 
Big result for Men's tennis today, taking down #1 TCU in Forth Worth in a non-big 12 matchup. Their two losses have been to TCU and Ohio State and they turned around both times to beat those teams, while the other team was ranked #1. 

This is going to be a team that has a great chance at a National championship later this year.

Current top 10. The top teams are gaining on Texas by volume of sports right now. The top 3 all scored points in Fencing for example. Texas will jump into 2nd place after I add in the basketball points and they will gain between 23-50 points on ohio state depending on how their women's basketball team finishes.

We will slide back again after other teams score in gymnastics, bowling and Men's hockey in the next few weeks.

 
Baseball might be better than we thought.
Ranked #21 today which would equate to a 2 seed in a regional. Being the team that loses in the regional finals means 50 points if it were to play out that way. Would be nice for our director's cup chances.

Stanford has slid down the rankings a bit which helps too, though they still are ranked #7 and an omaha bid still looks likely.

 
Tennis and track should help boost the Horns overall finish. Both men and women have high quality teams in both sports. Plus we kick butt in rowing.

Women's track probably top 3, mens top 5ish. Men's tennis could push for a NC, womens top 8 or better. Both golf teams could have good finishes as well. Softball has been very good as well and of course Rowing will be the NC favorite.

All that to say, lots of good finishes to come. I'll be starting my final finish predictions next week.

Is Texas still in the running being 100 points behind? And no, don't hit me with math. A simple yes or no answer will suffice. ?
