Re: The Rise and Fall of The Great Rod Shoate

A very sad story. Hopefully, BV’s approach to caring for the whole person will keep players better prepared for life after football. I attended an OU/KU game in the 70’s in Lawrence. Rod had some sort of injury and didn’t start. On KUs first possession, their running back hit a hole and went 70+ yar...

Re: Friday Night Football

My grandparents lived in Marlow, and my dad graduated from high school there. He also met my mother there after he returned from WW2. My brother and I spent a week in Marlow every summer through Jr. High. My grandfather took us fishing for catfish in the lakes around Marlow. My grandfather worked fo...

Re: Sooner Softball: Big 12 Tourney Champs w 6-1 victory over Texas*!

In her post game comments, Coach Gasso gave praise the 5,6,7,8,and 9 hitters. I had noticed earlier in the box score that the top 4 hitters contributed only 1 walk to the offense. Another example of how dominant this team is.

Re: OU Softball Offensive Softball Outlook - Way To Early Thoughts!

JT has several videos on YouTube which are interesting in his discussion of concepts he uses and how he works with hitters. In one he discusses how they make their adjustments. Maybe because I watched OU WCWS highlights on YouTube, one popped up. After watching that one several more showed up on my ...

Re: OU Softball Offensive Softball Outlook - Way To Early Thoughts!

The number of LOBs concerns me as well. On the other hand, wouldn’t the Sooners’ high batting averages and number of walks result in a high number of runners on base lead to a high number of LOBs. Also, a number of outs were on hard hit balls just right at a fielder. I recently saw a YouTube video o...

Re: OU 9 Texas* 1

John’s single to score Hansen was a rocket. On the highlights, it was just to the right of the pitcher and head high. It got the pitcher’s attention as she quickly moved her head away from the ball.

Can you explain why #8 Shipman of Bama ranked ahead of #s9 and 10. Both of their stats seem far ahead of Shipman’s in every category.

Re: Oklahoma Sooners SB Arrive & Leave Kentucky with a Statement Win

On Bahl’s error on throw attempting to get the runner at 2nd base, the color commentator on the broadcast, usually a former player, stated that usually the SS takes the throw and this time it was the 2nd baseman. This would create a different visual for Bahl. The throw was to SS side of 2nd base. Do...

Justified

Saw a clip on YouTube yesterday that there is going to be a new season of Justified coming. Timothy Olyphant is returning, but not sure about Walton Goggins.
