Your 2021, 2022, and now 2024 directors cup champions.

[chiu1040 63]

We’re doing much better than last year and don’t need to count on baseball to win the cup.

Stanford Women's Tennis gets upset in the quarterfinals when they were seeded #2. That helps with the cup!

Niiiice 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

We're starting to create some separation. Think we need to win tomorrow in men's tennis to reach our projected points since we're ranked #2. 

[Js1 85280]

Also not often in women sports do you see both 1 and 2 fail to make the championship. 

[chiu1040 63]

If I’m looking at the scoring structure right Stanford gets 73 points instead of the projected 90.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

The only real issue is we only have a chance to hurt ourselves in softball, men's tennis, and rowing based on the projected points. Ranked #1, #2, and #1 so we have to finish 1st or 2nd to get the projected points correct? 

I think we have a chance to score higher in men's golf and women's golf though based on projected points. Men's golf in particular. They're ranked #13 but on a pretty insane heater right now. 

 

[chiu1040 63]

Looked at Stanford’s spring points. In water polo they got 83 points. It’s much easier to make the semis when there’s only 10 teams. I guess that’s how they’ve so many championships by competing in the smaller sports.

[chiu1040 63]

Stanford has the same risk of underperforming their projections in women’s golf and rowing (#1 and #2).

[perfectchaos007 6626]

Stanford just won the women's golf national championship. They aren't relinquishing the directors cup without a fight.

[Js1 85280]

Glad aggy didn’t win another title

They did not unexpectedly add 25 points 

[chiu1040 63]

Right they lost in semis of PAC 12 tournament. They were ranked in 150s, and that was their only chance to make the tournament.

Yeah, Texas still has the inside track this year, as long as don’t fall flat on our faces in rowing, softball, men’s golf and outdoor track and field. (Omitted baseball but they somehow surprised and made a super, we’d be in the clear) 

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Its closer than most thought, specially with some of our sports shitting the bed late this spring

Anyone have a current top 10? Don't have a Twitter account so of course the top cupdate tweet I can see is from 2022.

Read somewhere that Texas, aggy and Tenn are the only 3 schools who made the postseason in the big 6 (football, MBB, WBB, baseball, softball, volleyball).  But you have to have good postseason results to make the top 10, aggy 😂

[gatormarc 911]

I think Florida is around 11 right now in the low 800s. We should get good points from Men's and Women's track and of course softball. Don't expect much from baseball this year.

If I had to throw out a guess, I'd say we'll end up somewhere around 1050 points and 6th place finish this season.

We should keep our top 10 streak going.

Nice that Baseball has given another 25 points that I didn't expect. Softball adding 10 more is :chefskiss:

Brett wilkinson, aka @direct_cupdates on twitter just posted that the directors cup race is over

 

its texas

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

3 Directors' Cups in the last 4 years.

I'm glad we finally have an AD that believes winning all the time is, in fact, good for the kids

link?

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Appears he deleted it. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Or at least backtracked a little from this. 

 

[Kwix 2186]

I mean, we still need the T&F points right?  We aren't in the lead yet.

But we are criminally underrepresented in the area of lesbian coaches.

[chiu1040 63]

Mathematically not over but if the men and women finish in 31st place, we win by my calculations.

[chiu1040 63]

It’s not Brett, but I graduated with a math degree from UT. Worked as an actuary for 30 years. I like numbers and have replicated his projections.

Sounds like nerd shit, Poindexter. 

[chiu1040 63]

I’m not saying we would have lost the directors cup if this happened, but if Stanford won rowing and softball, it would have been a 54 point swing.

It helps when you're really good at making hires. Which Del Conte is definitely good at. 

Women's golf just proves this point again. Based purely on resume, that might be his best hire to date.

Neugebauer in first place in decathlon after 2 events.

A flock of geese is the only reason we havent 4-peated

[gatormarc 911]

Congrats to the Longhorns.

[InkaUtexas 25864]

Um, so did we win or not dammit? If not lets invade Stanford.

[TexLonghorn 5661]

I don’t know exactly how much “Cardinal will need a big finish” means in this text, but they are in 16th place right now in W Track, which doesn’t sound too ‘big finish’ to me.  Texas is in 6th.

[gatormarc 911]

Gotta hold off UVA for that 4th place spot.

Parker Valby still has the 5000 meters coming up, I think.

Looks like they need 7.25 points which is a pretty big lead until you get into a top 10/5 finish where you get more points for each spot.

If Texas stays at 8, Stanford would have to finish 4th.

[chiu1040 63]

I think he’s just trying to create drama and clicks. Stanford only has runners left in 2 races, the 800 and 5000, so they don’t have that many scoring opportunities. Their runners in the 5000 would have to run the race of their life because their personal bests are much slower than the other runners.

For director’s cup scoring, you take the highest 15 sports other than the mandatory 4 sports. Stanford has to replace a 64 with a higher score. We’re replacing a 28, so we’re going to add a lot more points than them.

[chiu1040 63]

We have entries left in the triple jump, 1500, 400 hurdles, and heptathlon.

[Mittens 8258]

Create drama and clicks?  He's been saying for weeks that Texas is going to win it.
