Re: So........What Do We Do With Hannah Coor?????

Some excellent posts here, thoughtful and spot on. I think most people seem to agree on what we will see next spring and only differ in small degrees. Patty said in her last post Battle series presser that she won't answer who will start because she doesn't know. But she mentioned Coor a lot. Coor's...

Disappointing. Last year this was televised. What's changed in OU media land?

Re: Battle Series on Wed 10-18-23

According to the OU softball home page schedule, it's on espn+ and the Varsity radio. Hope that's so.

Re: General Thoughts about the team

Your assessment, JSull, is spot on. We've all been around softball and watched it enough to realize when the new recruits are indeed outstanding, and we're not just being hopeful fans. That's the case now. With so many talented players on the roster, I don't think we'll see a settled starting lineup...

Re: Battle Series 10-11

Yep, the freshmen looked the part last night. They have speed, agility, and carry big bats. Right now, Parker is the only one who looks ready for prime time on defense. The others will correct their fielding mistakes, contribute this year, and be ready next year after the greatest class in college s...

Re: New softball rules for 24 & 25 seasons

Whether games are too long depends on the game. Nine innings OU vs Stanford in the WS was riveting, like the extra innings Clemson game. There was a game early in the season vs Ole Miss I think in which OU put up nine or so in the first inning, game over. Both teams kind of went through the motions ...

Re: Position Battles and Expectations for 2024 Sooner Softball

Thanks for the assessment, 56. As usual, top notch. Just a quick question since I know you attended most games last year. Toward the end of the season, it seemed to me Hannah Coor had grown substantially. Bigger, maybe big enough to put some pop in her bat. Did you happen to notice this or was just ...

Re: Japan vs the Sooners===What do YOU Think???

There seems to be a bit of divide on this question. I think we are assuming all sports are alike in this regard. Say Georgia, Alabama or the great OU football teams playing the superbowl winner. That indeed would be a slaughter. But in softball, I don't think there is that big of a gulf between prof...

Re: Japan vs the Sooners===What do YOU Think???

Totally agree with the 22 team because the 22 team is basically the 23 team only with Alo. And yes, they'd likely take down Team Japan and beat team USA, which is why I get irked by the way the USA selection process seams to end up every year with few or no OU alum or players. That's like having an ...

Re: A new GoBoomer!!! from Patty

Apparently, Mike White got lost last week in the Serengeti. He thought Vawter was doing her mission in Kenya and not South Africa and chased her there. I think an OU alum told him that. Oh Well.

Re: A new GoBoomer!!! from Patty

It looks like this means neither Vawter nor Maxwell are coming to OU. Vawter said she was a later, not a Sooner. Apparently so. Bringing in one of them now might rattle the moving parts of the pitching staff.

Re: Jocelyn Erickson a Gator

Nothing would have changed for Erickson had she stayed at OU. She's a top player, but she would have been playing behind the best catcher in the universe Hansen and the surging star Cydney Sanders. Then she'd battle for right field and play mostly behind Torres and no guarantee at DP with Parker and...

Re: Updated Career Sooner Stats after 2023 Season - Many New Top 10s

This is such an outstanding post, 56, and your conclusion that it shows how remarkable the players are from the 21, 22, 23 teams is spot on. Till I saw these stats I hadn't realized to what degree that is true. We've sometimes talked about which softball team was the best of all time. Clearly, it wo...

Re: Report: Kelly Maxwell Expected to enter the Transfer Portal

I had heard he was on the floor, hanging onto Maxwell's ankle as she was trying to get out the door, shouting, "Please don't go! You hurt me." Not exactly Patty and Jordy's parting.
