A trip to play any team would be great for the young women, but the only two teams it would be fair for them to play would be the Japanese national team and Team USA, and Team USA wouldn't do it. Too embarrassing for them.

Did the transfer portal from last year cost OU the future benefits of Erickson and Nugent for next year? Needless to say, if either Erickson or Nugent had decided to stay, OU would be solid at catcher going into '24 and '25, IMO. Though I am not worried about OU fielding a great team next year, a S...

Kern would seem a natural fit, coach her up her fielding, put her at 2nd. Move Tiare to SS and DP and RF are open for Parker and Pickering. Will that work out if Kern portals to OU? All I can answer is I trust Coach Gasso to know what is best for the team. It's a reasonable look at things, but as g...

i haven't been asked, but I will weigh in on this subject. My opinion is as follows. Kern looks like a hitter. But, after 2023 where the Sooners picked up 3 AA-type players from the Pac-12 and the SEC that did not hit as well as they had previously I am a bit warry of a Big 10 player. I have no rea...

Erickson is a top talent. Next year, had she stayed, she'd be playing behind Hansen, playing behind Sanders, playing behind or sharing duty with Torres, and battling for playing time with Parker and Pickering. Almost any other team will have her playing day one. I can understand it. Best of luck to ...

There's another usa team as well, the national A team that will play in the world cup or world championships with one Sooner, Alo. Most are UCLA and Pac 12 players. Jee, I wonder why. https://www.teamusa.org/usa-softball/team-usa/women It is a bit discouraging that year after year the best players, ...

Just voted. Bahl has a chance, but even though OU was the best team for its historical achievements, the NFL team will win.

Tennessee has got themselves an outstanding catcher. Had Nugent been playing full time the last two years I have no doubt she'd be recognized as such. She just had the misfortune of playing behind first Hansen and Elam, then Hansen, and it's hard to get better than those two. I wish her well. I woul...

Can't be a lot of pitchers of Vawter's quality in the portal. Exactly what OU needs. Three pitchers, no matter the quality, are too thin a line between excellence and truly big problems. Hope she's visiting Norman soon.

56, your concerns are relevant and detailed. It takes a lot to make a great program and the fans who attend most games, including those in the fall, and travel to the away games are no small part of that. Easy for me to say, but I'd suggest sending your post as written to the people in authority at ...

We see in the photos Jordy standing with a bat. I'm not saying it was a big factor in her decision, but it might have been a factor, her not getting much playing time beyond pitching. I think she's always wanted to play softball fully, in the field, at bat. At Nebraska, she'll be in the lineup for e...

Those dragons hovering above her while she's pitching will be quite an advantage.

Ms Lyons made the news today and thought you would like to see it: https://www.foxnews.com/media/oklahoma-softball-team-united-faith-wins-college-world-series-god-great-things-store Good luck to her in her future endeavors. Thanks, Gandalf. Good catch. OU softball has gone beyond the sports pages a...

We may have to agree to disagree on this one. I am definitely NOT opposed to student athletes getting NIL. They deserve that, and they should get every penny they can out of it. But when an athlete's dad goes shopping her around to the highest bidders for her services....then that sticks in my craw...

I think the best answer came from Jocelyn Alo last year at the post game presser after the Natty. When asked if they were the best team of all time, the other players gave somewhat diplomatic answers. Alo said yes they were because she was on it. But then she added that every year OU teams were bett...
