Re: Position Battles and Expectations for 2024 Sooner Softball

Nice read. Thanks. Would like your opinion on changing lineups vs consistent starters. We see frequent pitcher changes. We see a fall program with inner squad games. We strive for backups that are as good at the starters, so that injuries don't kill us. So why not play as a team, where you rotate ba...

Re: A new GoBoomer!!! from Patty

Actually Getting Keeney will help our offense . Batting practice against the pitcher that shut us down will only make us better. Too !

Re: Jocelyn Erickson Enters the Transfer Portal

"schools can’t contact her direct" "The high standard of playing at OU, in my opinion is most likely the sole culprit." Maybe you guys know more than the rest of us, but " 1. Players can contact other schools anytime they want. Did Jordy call NU, My guess Absolutely....Same ...

Coaching carousel

Florida fired their pitching coach and some message boards are suggesting they will offer big bucks to get Rocha back. In this NIL environment where players are being enticed by big $, it seem about time for assistant coaches to see the same impact. Rocha makes less than a quarter of what Gasso make...

2021 recruiting projection for 2024

OU-Tom posted in the recruiting forum back in Oct 2021 a projection for 2024. Keep in mind that NIL officially started June 21, 2021 when The U.S. Supreme Court ruled. It's interesting to see how things changed and compare to today: "The roster for the Sooners could be as follows for the 2024 s...

Re: Nugent

Nugent, Deal's position next year ? NO ONE knows. Not even Patty, that is if you believe Patty. The decision as to who starts where, who backs up who will not be made until late fall, if then. Batting slumps, multi errors, causes things to change. My opinion, they all have the attitude that they can...

2001 poster (printer kind)

Patty gave me this poster in Columbus Ga in the spring of 2001. These posters were the 1st to claim the national championship. It is signed by most of the players and coaches. I’m not sure what it’s worth but hope a Sooner will want to add it to their collection. Message me if you are interested. An...

Re: OU's Advantage at Hall of Fame Stadium

Ideally, for the sport, there would be 4 or 5 locations around the country that could host the WCWS (like football.) As a fan, traveling to the same location year after year is not as fun as multiple locations can be. AND I sympathize with other fans upset that OU get's to play near home frequently ...
