Start of second go round in Big 12 play shaping up to be crazy

After the SEC Challenge the Big 12 starts the second go round of conference play - everyone has played everyone else once and they start seeing each other again. Here is the lineup of games that week with current conference records:

Mon 30 JAN
ISU (5-2) @ TTU (0-7) *
BU (5-3) @ UT (5-2)

Tue 31 JAN
KSU (6-1) @ KU (5-3)
WVU (1-6) @ TCU (5-3) *

Wed 01 FEB
OSU (3-4) @ OU (2-5)

Sat 04 FEB
KU (5-3) @ ISU (5-2)
TTU (0-7) @ BU (5-3) *
TCU (5-3) @ OSU (3-4)
UT (5-2) @ KSU (6-1)
OU (2-5) @ WVU (1-6)

That's 10 games and only 3 of them (marked with an *) aren't matchups between teams at least within a game and a half of each other. Included in that is Bedlam, Sunflower Showdown, KU at Hilton and BU in Austin. It looks to be a hell of a week of basketball!

First Coaches' Ranking (1/19)

MLB: ***Official 2022 STL Cardinals Season Thread***

Let's get this started all. Looking forward to a great year for the Birds!

Not sure if everyone saw the news this morning, but the Cards are bringing Pujols back! While he certainly isn't 'the machine' anymore, this is a great move for PR and sentimental purposes. Being able to see Yadi and Pujols get one final season together is pretty awesome.

I'm thinking the division is very much in reach this year - especially if Goldy and Arenado get hot and the pitching staff is above average.

What say you Birds fans?
