So far the Buckeyes are looking strong in the Director's Cup. The remaining "Winter" sports finish out on April 19th will be Women's Bowling, M/W Gymnastics and Men's Hockey. I believe that the Buckeyes are very strong in both Men and Women's Gymnastics, I'm not sure where that actually stands in relation to Stanford.

Anybody have a vibe on the Director's Cup and Buckeyes chances?

You guys still ahead of Pedstate for the #2 position. UF at #4, trying to get a leg up with women's lacrosse. We need to get a rifle and fencing team. Or bowling. Or all of them.

Great job, as always. Nobody will beat Stanford, they of the bazillion sports.

That's a limited view to assume an increase in sports will ultimately lead to more points. More non-revenue sports equals the less you can spend to keep your women's lax coach or keep up the softball facilities.
