It works this way for me in my mind with any team OU is facing from here on out: 1.) It is about OU being the best OU can be, and not about the opponent's record, past scores, stats versus this or that, etc. We can beat any team. We can lose to any team. Depends on the OU team that comes to play...a...

Effortless Power is the impression I got from the Miloy and Hutchins batting videos. Whoa! Knocked it OUT of the stadium several times - and one blast by Hutchins was off the scoreboard that Plank said would likely never be hit. Incredible!

Thank you for the write-up, '56! This game felt so much like Lousiana Reduex to me. Very similar vibe and results. Saying, "It is still possible to be a very good team," speaks to me about a couple of things: * It is hard to imagine such a statement being made about OU this year....that OU...

Just like Coach Gasso to plan ahead.....to a rocky 2025. Ha! Just kidding!!! OU needs to finish out this year as strong as they can, and worry about the future....in the future, IMO. The way I see it, this year is a monumental moment with Softball History holding its breath to see if the Sooners can...

In Coach's post-game interview with Plank on the radio, Patty was audibly frustrated with the no-show of the offense from the 2nd inning on. She even commented that she was still emotional about it. Coach is not complacent about anything - and she accused the team of being too "oh well" ab...

Yeah! I'll take the win all day, everyday!! Do you think that, with a decent lead, it is a mental challenge to go into "prevent mode?" How much of the "prevent" is from the players, and how much is from the coaches? I get the thinking in spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Go up ...

How you feeling about the outcome of Game 1 with Texas?

We lucky? We good? We got things to work on?

Post game #1 vs Texas WIN for the Sooners!!! How do you evaluate the outcome? Did game #1 play-out as you imagined, hoped, or anticipated?

I am very happy for the win on a "hostile" field, especially when that field is anywhere in Texas.

Next year is going to be a challenge - and that is exactly why I am looking forward to it! I gotta admit that I am feeling relief that the Expectation Fever might break for me as a fan.....for a little while at least. A huge amount of the pressure is off for 2025. A new group of stars are rising abo...

Her parents missed a golden opportunity when the hospital clerk asked, "And what is the name of this little power-pitching bundle of joy?"

Needs a brother named, Slim.

Sooners are picking up momentum heading into the Texas series!

Bats seem to be popping well.

Pitching seems solid.

Defense is on point.

Just keep doing what they have been doing for the most part, and the team will play very well, IMO.

That line up looks solid to me, Trop! The only question I have for you is why Boone is not in the 9 hole instead of Ludlam? Maybe Coach Tropical wants to keep the best hitters as bunched or strung together as possible - and Ludlam is the weak link? I guess the question about who will start at 2B is ...

Great question and answer. I can understand how a pitcher can have better overall results mastering what they already throw well - rather than spending limited resources to learn and perfect a new pitch they don't throw well. Makes sense to learn more refined throwing mechanics and a few nuances fro...

Thorough write-up, Tropical! When I read the title of your topic, can Kansas steal a game, my very first thought was, "Not anymore they can't." Oddly enough, I think Kansas' recent successes have lessened their chances of an ambush. The Sooners are now aware of what the Jayhawks can do. I ...

I like all these responses because they resonate with what I was seeing with my eyes and recalling in my mind - some aspects are "better than" recent years, and some areas are "less than". The stats crushcreek shares reflect this fact perfectly. There is a mix of data and percept...
