Re: My thoughts on the NCAA Softball Regionals: Winners Odds Listed

I don't know enough about all the teams in the tournament, so I can't really put any odds down on who has the best chance of winning. But based on what I observed over the final few weeks of the regular season, I have some thoughts on which hosts I think don't make it out of their Regional. LSU---I ...

Re: My Thoughts for the Norman Regional for 2024

I haven't seen anywhere that the game between Oregon and Boston will be televised on network TV, so I imagine that it will be streamed on ESPN+. If so, I will probably be watching it! It would be a huge surprise if OU does not cruise through their Regional 3-0, but a really seasoned, talented team ...

My Thoughts for the Norman Regional for 2024

Here's my thoughts about the Norman Regional for 2024--the team we know we are going to face, and the other two possibilities. Cleveland State University, Cleveland OH (22-24) (15-10) Horizon League The way I see it, if you are going to be one of the last 4 in (and only because you won your conferen...

Re: Bracketology

Thanks for that bit of information Believer. I went back to see what our team looked like back then and we were fresh off two national championships, ranked #1 in the country and had a lineup that looked like this: RF Mendes 2B Clifton 1B Knighten DH Alo 3B Romero CF Pendley LF Aviu SS Arnold C Woda...

Re: Bracketology

Interesting that Texas* will be matched up with Texas A&M in the Supers, assuming they both win their Regionals. OU gets Florida St. under the same scenario. I wasn't sure Fl St would make the top 16, and Bama wound up a notch higher than I thought. But I like the FSU matchup equally well. I'm ...

Re: Bracketology

I actually think we get Bama for our Super Regional.
Ratings would be off the charts.

Re: I've been thinking it but haven't said it yet.....

The move to Love's Field, especially in the middle of our record hitting streak, and the fact we couldn't practice, dress nor shower at Love's, combined with the fact that our hitting was anemic(for us) already, was too much to deal with, and we caved in. So glad we now appear to be on the rebound!...

Re: Press Conferences

Perhaps Mike White figured out all he was doing was riling up his hated rivals team and fan base and he wasn't getting any milage out of his own fan base. Unlike Kenny G who just can't seem to let things go. He even won the series with us.....and he still can't let it go. Unfortunately, Kenny G has ...

Re: Help me get this straight

I remember this discussion in '22 when we won the regular season and OSU beat us 3-2 to win the tournament. There is a trophy for each and the tournament winner gets the auto-bid. You are correct SG. And both teams get rings and acknowledged at halftime at one of the fall football games. (Just like...

Re: Sooner Softball: OU downs BYU 13-2: Big 12 Finals vs UT! Boomer!

Keeney and Maxwell do seem like the best choices available for tonight's matchup with Tejas. I like that Karlie can consistently get the batter to hit into ground outs. But once in awhile one of those ground balls finds a hole in the infield, and after a walk or two could be costly in a low scoring ...

Re: Big 12 Softball Quarters: Oklahoma downs Kansas 10-1 innings !

I also think Deal gets the call today. And for whatever reason, it does seem that May is better than Deal coming out of the pen. But she's done that for years now, with a good deal of success. I could also see SJ getting a few pitches in if necessary as she would be one pitcher they might not have p...

Re: Big 12 Softball Tourney Thoughts: Play-In & Seeded Games W & TH

Just a reminder about the first game on the schedule for today's tournament--the BYU vs OSU game that starts at 11:00am. The BYU coach was famous (with OU at least) for his stalling and delaying tactics and our game with them ran 3 hr and 7 min. And that was a 7 inning game. BYU has shown it can hit...

Re: SOONER bats wake up...

I think our 2 freshmen might be our best players right now They're confident, young and hungry for success, not worried about their entering the Brave New World, and not feeling like they have done it all, either...and yes, talented! This is exactly what I was saying in another thread---and you sai...
