Update to Best case for Stanford vs. Worst Case for Texas:

Best case finish for Stanford includes baseball national championship and Women's T&F finish 13th and Mens T&F finish 7th for a final score of :1328.75

Worst case finish for Texas includes baseball and softball going 0-2, M Golf finishing 2nd, and both T&F teams finishing 3rd for a final score of: 1342

Our worst case is better than their best case and I think this Director's Cup is in the bag! Will have to wait until T&F wraps up next Saturday to be able to say so definitively. 

Stop the count!

If softball gets 1 win, baseball advances to supers and golf takes the championship it'll be a near certainty after this weekend as Stanford's absolute highest possible score (with championships in baseball and M and W T&F) is 1395 and Texas would surpass that (assuming at worse 3rd place track finishes). If Stanford baseball surprisingly tanks that helps as well. 

If anyone asks you to bet on the directors cup, make the bet because the odds of anything else other than a Texas victory is slim to none.

Light the Tower!!

Count it as 2 Director’s Cups in a row!! 

I still need my track men and women to bring home the championships. Both teams qualified enough athletes to win it with good championship performances.

Hook ‘em!!!

It looks like the Women will take it home. It'll come down to Texas vs Georgia on the men's side.

Men definitely have a tougher road but it’s doable

Track is such a difficult one because you have to be on and peak at the right time. You never know how it’s going to go until the races are run.

This is confusing. I read several posts the last few days that say Texas has the Directors Cup sewn up. And now this after all the good news this evening.

[Huskie1]

Director’s Cup is all but a done deal. However, there are more championships to be won. Mens and Women’s  track have great shots to win the outdoor meet after winning both indoor titles.

[Hiwood]

LIGHT UP the TOWER....FIFTY Years after Crenshaw and Kite won the National Championship, Hammer-Pi Coody , Pa Coody, Nome, Vick, bring home a Championship in Men's golf. so happy for Coach Fields and the program

Yes, sorry, I was replying specifically about Track and Field. Director's Cup is a done deal.

Worst case scenario:

Texas baseball and softball go 0-2. Track and field drop to 3rd place.

Stanford baseball wins championship. T&F overachieve and finish 7th (Men's) and 13th (Women's).

Total		1349.5	Total		1330.75

Even in this scenario Texas has a nearly 20 point edge. Texas T&F would have to have an even worse finish than 3rd and Stanford would have to do even better than 7th and 13th. Looking at track qualifiers this just isn't feasible as you can see here:

Softball currently playing UCLA on ESPN. Up 4-0 after 3 innings.

[Big Daddy Cane]

Softball team beats UCLA 7-2. Cinderella is looking good!

The win guarantees a top 5 finish and adds 5 points to our director's cup tally.

[BWilk55]

Baseball victory last night guarantees a tie for 33rd finish and an additional 12.5 points. A win today would guarantee a top 17 finish and another 12.5 points.

Texas softball on ABC or stream on ESPN. Down 2-1 to OU, Texas heading to bat in the bottom of the 3rd.

Sooners starting to get hot on offense in the top of the 5th. Score a couple on Dolcini who is pulled (probably to save her arm for the next game) and then welcome Sophia Simpson with a 2 run HR.

Horns lost 7-2. I was very confused to see that they are now set to play Arizona tomorrow. Arizona has been in the other bracket up to this point. 

Well, the softball bracket is set up to have the loser of the game between 1-0 teams switch brackets before playing the 1-1 elimination game. This means Texas gets to play unseeded Arizona (instead of #5 UCLA again) and if they beat Arizona, they would have to go on to beat #7 Oklahoma State twice (instead of #1 Oklahoma). 

It's an interesting bracket approach and in this case, really favors the Longhorns.

Arizona's RPI was 43 BTW. Definitely the team you'd want to be facing at this point. 

[Eastexhorn]

Good switch forHorns. However Arizona eliminated Miss. St. in two gamessorta and upset.

In baseball pulling fot Texas State. Go Bobcats.
