I guess she was the fiercest fighter we had. Sadly for her, her season was a bust and so was ours. Just a lose-lose all around. Had she stayed and no gotten injured, I'm 100% confident we are primed for #4.

Re: Bedlam Game #2
The Sooners have run up against a better team. Period. Yep. The Pokes have played better ball the last two games. Hurts to say it. We are seeing the chickens come home to roost I believe. All the games we won over the past few years by hitting that clutch HR, etc are all coming due against texas an...

Re: Bedlam Game #2
I'm not sure what the issue is - I feel like something off-field happened to the team and broke their spirits (no info just a guess). They have no fight. That is what is so frustrating. They are just deflated and have no confidence in themselves it appears. What a way for 9 great seniors to go out.....

Re: Big 12 Softball Bedlam Series: Sooner Host OSU on Fri, Sat, Sun
Love your previews 56! I'm sure it takes a lot of time to put that all together. Thank you for your insights. I know the stats look to be in OU's favor, but I'm not as optimistic as you are. We have definitely been spoiled for the past several years with historic levels of dominance & elite per...

Re: Food for Thought: LOB for the Sooners in 2024
Totally agree. As I was listening to the radio broadcast yesterday Plank mentioned it quite a few times and even Patty was all over it. Totally agree - on one hand you can't be satisfied and assume that when you really need to push across the runner in a WCWS game you will be able to. You have to al...

Re: Oklahoma Softball Hosts Tulsa @ HOF Stadium on Tuesday at 6 PM!
So, maybe Deal becomes our #2 pitcher??? I love that Deal is starting to hit her stride. I think the rotation stays Maxwell-May-Deal but it is critical to have Deal step up about now in prep for post season. Reminds me a bit of a few different years where we had the one steady pitcher, like Paige P...

Re: The Wichita State Mess
I'm guessing we are going to hit the portal hard after this year. We may have some great frosh players coming in, but we need experience and after what we lose this year we are going to have very little good players with experience. I'm guessing quite a few leave and make room for some older transfe...

Re: Let's see if losing is a motivator to 3x NCs
Soonerindallas: After last weekend, I'm not sure (that we hit well enought)is true. We just are not the potent lineup we have been the last few years. We only lost one regular from last year(Lyons), and she was a spurt hitter. Very good at times, but not consistent. We blasted Czech and Gutierrez l...

Re: Let's see if losing is a motivator to 3x NCs
I didn't mean to imply they were not motivated. But as has been pointed out - this team is full of players that have 3 NC rings. At some point all the motivation and what inspires them has to change to some degree to really still get the best output. I do agree that the musical chair line-up always ...

Let's see if losing is a motivator to 3x NCs
I so appreciate all the comments after this weekend's series and hate starting a new thread. But I really think this will be a turning point for the team, either good or bad. Does losing motivate them? As was stated, the majority of players on this team have 3 rings. There is very little more they h...

texas wins the series - the world did not end
I was worried about playing texas in Austin since February. I knew of all the coaches out to prove something - Mike White is probably the best. FSU and Tenn have coaches with weakness, Mike White is not that. After OSU won 2 - I had lots more hope as I really think OU is still the best team in the s...

Re: OU vs Texas - Game 3
Sooner domination is over. Tough to accept All the stars aligned for texas to win this one. The fact that this was played at texas is probably the biggest thing I was concerned about. They were gunning for OU and they got us. We didn't play all that bad and some of our hits were good - just placed ...

Re: OU vs Texas - Game 3
texas wins again 2-1 and wins the series. Our hitting let us down this weekend. Perhaps we need to really focus on that and reset. Hoping it pays dividends for the post season. Our pitching is good enough to win - our hitting just wasn't this weekend (although texas has never played defense as well ...

Re: OU vs Texas - Game 3
This just may not be our weekend, we've had bad luck more than anything else. texas playing other-worldly defense, 2 pitches and poor hitting has maybe cost us this series today.

Re: OU vs Texas - Game 3
We've pitched well enough and played good enough defense to win. Our hitting really needs something....not sure if it is the line-up or what.
