The Kaufman exhibition awhile back gave Kansas some Kansas City bragging rights, but it's time for the teams to put up or shut up when it really counts in the Big 12 standings. For more on Kansas, make sure to drop by the Live Thread at RCT, which always does fine work with Big 12 baseball.

A recent slump has seen the team go from a national power to .500 in Big 12 play. A series win, or, to be greedy, a sweep would be huge in trying to recapture the mojo as the stretch run begins.

This is by all accounts a HUGE series for Mizzou and A&M, with the winner earning a big time boost in momentum in Big 12 play. Does Mizzou get a critical series win on the road against the conference leaders, or does the "Olsen Magic" get the best of the Tigers?

Make Rock M Nation your base of operations this weekend and weigh in with your predictions, questions, worries, bold statements and observations by signing up for a free account. The Tigers hit the road this weekend against a struggling Sooner squad. Does Priday continue his tear at the plate? Do the pitchers show any emotional scarring from the launch pad that was Taylor Stadium last weekend?

[editor's note, by rptgwb] By the way, Crimson and Cream Machine took the opportunity to use this weekend's baseball series as a way to bring up The San Antonio Debacle. Recall, I admitted that they were the better football team that night and deserved to win the game and I refuse to bring up dead arguments that were clearly settled. But since we're bringing up past memories and non-sequitirs, who didn't love the first week of January? Oops, I must have mislinked. I meant to link here.

Baseball: Monday Big-12 RPI Update

Mon Mar 31, 2008 at 07:20:26 PM EDT

Quite a bit of movement in the Big-12 RPI rankings this week.  Nebraska, on the strength of it’s series win in Austin, moves up seven notches to number six.  Missouri pays the penalty for its three losses and falls ten spots to #18.  Oklahoma State slids a bit, while Texas actually climbs from 35 to 29 despite losing two of three to the visiting Huskers.  I guess that is quite the compliment offered to the Nebraskans.  Baylor, surprisingly, holds steady while Texas A&M makes a big move.  The Aggies climb 24 spots all the way up to #38 after sweeping Kansas in Lawrence.  Oklahoma climbs eleven notches and Texas Tech jumps 18.  Tech took two of three from Missouri this weekend and split a good home series with UC Riverside.  Good week for the Red Raiders.  Kansas State rode its series victory over Oklahoma State to an improvement of 18 slots.  The only Big-12 school that really suffered this week was the Jayhawks.  Kansas saw swept at home by Texas A&M.  Even the two Jayhawk wins this week actually hurt their RPI rankings, so low is Chicago State regarded.

The midweek loss to Minnesota may have hampered the atmosphere of invincibility just a bit, but the weekend rotation should be set and ready to go against the Raiders. Do Crow, Gibson, and Berger continue their recent run of dominance?
