Re: Conferences in the Tournament

True I think Florida is set for a good run the next few years with their pitching staff, current players, and incoming class. They will be contenders. Tennessee and lsu seem to have recruited well. Florida may give texas a run for their money the next few years. Texas is loaded for a good run with t...

Re: OU vs Oregon

I don’t think the Keeney decision was “strange” at all - it didn’t work out, but the decision was sound. You have a pitcher that has thrown very good her last 2-3 outings. She also has very little “big game” experience and it was a low stress situation - 1 inning, comfortable lead. Put her out ther...

Re: OU vs Oregon

I wonder whose decision it was to pull Maxwell for Keeney, (was it Rocha or Gasso?) - - what with Kelly sailing along with a one hitter game? I absolutely HATE IT for Karlie, this kind of outing sure won't do anything for her confidence in future relief appearances! The pitching decisions (in relie...

Re: Transfer Portal

I don't see sanders or deal leaving. I think bland will possibly leave. My concern is top players being lured away by nil or a team like florida with great young pitchers. I'm just using florida as an example. Maybe we will be lucky enough to keep our top players and build a new team next year with ...

Re: Sooners drop Game #2 of Bedlam 6-2 after leading 2-1 thru 5 inn

I love the optimism here, but I'm just not feeling it. The fight/grit isn't there for whatever reason. Love these girls forever! It's been a joy to follow our seniors, and I look forward to the future. Losing definitely takes some getting used to. I hate it! Boomer Sooner!

Re: The Elephant in the Room

Yep, jordy leaving left us in a bind. Losing her and storako in the same year- hard to fill those shoes. And in Jordy's case, those shoes may never be filled. She's one of the very best pitchers I've ever seen.

Transfer Portal

I'm afraid we may end up on the wrong side of the transfer portal after this season. Teams will come hard for Pickering and Parker. I'll be surprised if bland sticks around. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Re: By the Numbers: OU Women's Gymnastics are Ready for the NCAAs !

It was a great season, and I just love our girls. However, the truth is people only remember who wins unless they are fans of the losing team. In 10 years no one other than OU fans will remember how great this team was. They'll just see who the national champions were. There won't be an asterisk the...

Re: By the Numbers: OU Women's Gymnastics are Ready for the NCAAs !

No confidence tonight

Wonder what happened to have led the nation all year.and not even make the finals.

It couldn't have been any uglier. :(

We may need a new team psychologist.

This is a really ugly night for OU. You always expect nerves, but this is really, really bad. Very unlike a KJ team to fall apart.

Re: Saturday OU vs BYU

Glad Britto can hit because she is suspect in the field at times. She was responsible for 4 of our runs today- 3 rbi's and a homer. 👍
Happy we won the series.

Grateful she was here last year, but she left us high and dry. I'm sure patty was counting on her down the road.

Yikes! No consistent pitching (other than maxwell), no rhythm at bat...ugh. I think it is clear grace lyons was the glue that held us together.

Re: Let's see if losing is a motivator to 3x NCs

I posted on another thread that it seems like we are still trying to figure things out. But we have a ton of talent, and the best head coach in college softball. I can't imagine how difficult it is to be the best year in and year out. Really tough level of intensity to maintain. Hopefully we can get...
