beaumontballer44 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 So they are outright big 12 champions? I knew their was a possibility of them sharing it.
HoosierDaddy Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Outright champs. Okie St lost yesterday to OU. Unbelievable how A&M won the conference.
lonestar Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 Yep outright champs. Weird Big XII season for them though. Started out 3-3 and then won 16 in a row to be 19-3, then lost 5 in a row, but fortunately put enough space between them that Nebraska and OSU didn't catch them. Final Standings Texas A&M 19-8-0 42-14-0 Oklahoma State 18-9-0 40-15-0 Nebraska 17-9-1 39-12-1 Missouri 16-11-0 37-17-0 Texas 15-12-0 34-19-0 Baylor 11-16-0 31-24-0 Kansas State 11-16-0 27-27-0 Oklahoma 9-17-1 32-23-1 Kansas 9-18-0 30-27-0 Texas Tech 9-18-0 25-30-0
Gabe Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Congrats to A&M and local LCM grad Clayton Ehlert. It was nice to see Ehlert pitch on TV yesterday. It was a weird Big 12 season. To see the Horns in No. 5 is very strange.
