Re: The Finebaum Visit

Other than being wrong on how many NC's OU has won, I can't really disagree with what Finebaum said. :horns: hired Sark a year before OU hired BV, and Sark began to rebuild both OL & DL, so they do appear to be a year or 2 ahead of OU in the roster rebuild to prepare for the SEC. They do have an...

Re: Oklahoma Baseball is in Utah for a Thurs, Fri, Sat 3-Game Series

This next stretch of games will be very important for OU. They have the opportunity to virtually lock up the Big 12 championship & solidify their chances of hosting a Regional &/or Super Regional.

Midweek game vs Wichita State

Re: Milos Uzan Transfers to Houston

We oughta scrap men's basketball, and put funds earmarked for it towards women's basketball, or towards football. I'm being serious about this. It will never happen, but I agree 100%. NIL & unlimited transfers have ruined college basketball. Let the women's team play in McCasland Field House &a...

Re: OU Softball Hosts BYU at Love's Field: Thu, Fri, Sat in 3 games

BYU lists 7 pitchers on staff and we got 3 of them last night. 2 of the three, Temples and Dahle have the most IP at 73 and 63, with #3 being the freshman Gianna Mares with 59. The other pitcher we saw in relief yesterday, Aguilar, only has 16 IP. Not seen yet, Kaysen Korth only has 13. The remaini...

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

I think if you were to ask or talk with each member of the team, they would tell you they are motivated to go after the 3-peat. However, the "switch on/switch off" nature of the offense throughout this season is the biggest indicator to me that the "focus" is lacking on this team...

Re: You Fill In the Blank ?

1. :horns:
2. Aggy (TX)


3 (Tie) Oregon (screw job); Miami (85-87); Baylor (Briles & Mulkey); LSU (trash programs & fans)

OSU isn't anywhere to be found on my list. They are & always have been irrelevant.

Re: Injury UpDate Thread

Big opportunity for Josh Bates to step up & prove to BB & BV that he is capable of being the starting center for OU. If he doesn't or can't do that, the coaches will have to go shopping in the portal.

Re: Projected O'Line

Per Ikard & Lehman's latest podcast, the starting OL has been as follows so far this spring: LT: Tarquin LG: Ozaeta C: Bates RG: Nwaiwu RT: Taylor Based on their comments, OU is in pretty serious trouble if this is the starting OL for game 1. Some additional comments: Ozaeta & Nwaiwu look gr...

Re: My Quick Take on our Games With the Baylor Bears

So, how did all these guys really make it into the pros? Because of their bats? I can't imagine a big game on the line and somebody with the yips throws a ball into the stands....?? They either eventually overcame them (Sax), had to change positions (Ankiel), or never were able to overcome them &am...

Re: My Quick Take on our Games With the Baylor Bears

Who was the Cub shortstop that couldn’t conquer his yip throwing to 1B? Wound up having to play first base. Really impacted his career. Don't remember a Cubs Shortstop with the yips, but Jon Lester had them when he was with the Cubs. Couldn't throw to 1st base from the mound. Rick Ankiel had them w...

Re: My Quick Take on our Games With the Baylor Bears

The most important question when heading into this series against the Bears is this: Does the catcher who has the "yips" still play for them? If so, I may not be able to watch...

Re: NIT...WHY???

Sooner Scoop did a youtube video/podcast yesterday reacting to not getting the invitation to the dance. They pulled back to look at the big picture of the basketball program, & it's not good - and many of the issues facing it won't change with a new coach. We know about LNC and the off-campus ar...

Re: WHO will emerge

Not sure about "most successful," but I think we'll see OU settle into a 3-woman rotation of: Game1: Maxwell Game 2: May Game 3: Deal This allows OU to go L-R-L & change the looks for opposing lineups from game to game. I think they'll use Monticelli in a "closer" role like t...

Re: Stupid Football Questions

I have been a football fan since my Dad too me to OU games beginning in 1971. However I never played organized football. These questions are directed to those who played HS and college football. What distinguishes a college player who starts and may be a star, versus a reserve or a player who never...

Oh for sure! Coach Gasso has forgotten more about softball and managing/developing a team than I could ever learn. Would love to hear her thoughts & rationale for that decision, though.
