Re: By the Numbers: OU Women's Gymnastics are Ready for the NCAAs !

Not their night. Look forward to KJ’s review. I think this just shows how difficult this sport is. I’m disappointed, but this was a great season and the women really gave us many great moments. The ones returning get another shot. Just a reminder. The men had a similar disaster a few years ago when ...

Oh What a Nite!

As we were heading to Love Field Wednesday evening, we passed by Jordan Bowers on her way to LNC. She looked deep in thought as she walked by 100’s going the other direction. I thought, she could be watching her fellow athletes, but she’s got work to do. Saturday, I had to decide between softball, w...

Re: WVU meet

The job KJ and the staff have done with this team doesn’t get enough attention. I don’t think you could ask for a better trajectory from week one to now. The girls deserve a lot of praise too. I thought a couple of routines were underscored.not that it mattered.

Re: So! What Do You Think So Far?

My assessment after weeks 1 & 2, Patty has been way too soft on our seniors. I understand why and I’mnot being critical because I knew she’s figure it out. As she put it in the media meeting, “they saw the old me today”. Warmed my heart. Coaching is an art as well as a science. Only one other co...

Re: Oklahoma Women's Gymnastics @ the Metroplex Challenge Saturday !

We should never get in this event again. No results, no tv. Dumb as dirt to be there. If we want to build the sort, which we should, then 2nd class is no way to go.

Re: OU WBB Exhibition game tonight vs West Texas A&M (6 p.m.)

Not sure why anyone would be surprised by Lexi. She played a lot of ball at oSu. She’ll start for OU. I think we surprise some folks. I love our style of play. For the first time in years I feel we have the inside height to compete. A lot of new players who are getting to know each other. Depth is k...

Re: Sooner Women's Soccer - Out West for 2 Matches - Gonzaga-Montana

Coach says there’s no reason OU can’t be a winning program. I agree, but. In order to win, we must upgrade the roster. Speed is key and the Sooners lack team speed and quickness. You can teach skills and tactics, you can’t teach speed. I believe the recruiting strategy should focus on speed. The sec...

A suggestion for OU staff to consider

That we have a message board for women’s gymnastics is fantastic. The fact that it goes dark for 7 months of the year is sad. The best way to promote the sport to the next level is to build fan knowledge and awareness. Look at football, we know about kids a couple of years or more before they show u...

Re: Jocelyn Erickson a Gator

First, congratulation to Jocelyn. Never any doubt that she would have her choice of programs and I wish her all the best. I saw a post here that implied Jocelyn would have had better stats than Tiare had she been given more at bats. Since I keep all the stats on spread sheet, I thought I'd look this...

Re: My Cautious View for 2024

When you lose an Alo, home runs and batting average decline. Nor can you expect to replace Jordy. It’s also very difficult to only lose 1 game since last year’s Sooners were the first to ever do it. But, I’m fine going into next year with the team as we currently know will be here. We certainly have...

Re: New Sooner Softball Transfer - Riley Ludlam - Catcher

I have to think that Ludlam will definitely be the #2 catcher next year. She brings a pretty good bat and being a grad transfer, hopefully she will provide some maturity as a backup. Torres has not caught a single game in college I believe. She was the starting shortstop for Arizona State from game...

Re: 2024 Pitching rotation

Jordy’s departure opens the door for KD. SJ gets her opportunity to get on the field as a RS freshman. Finally, Nicole gets to be the leader of the staff. I’m excited and I’m not big on adding another pitcher unless a truly outstanding one enters the portal. Last year’s portal successes are unlikely...

Re: Nugent

I can see Nugent and maybe Deal leaving People said the same thing about May last year. I said she wouldn't leave and she didn't. I say the same with with regard to Deal and Nugent. Patty has had other players wait 3 years for their chance like Regan Rogers and Macy Hatfield, then they had outstand...

What a joke. Fouts and Sandercock don’t hold a candle to Jordy. These voters don’t do their homework.

Re: 2023 Transfer Portal Season is wide open! Who would you want to see come available in the Portal this year???

Patty will only take to fill a need or make the team better and the player must fit in win the players and the program. She has a power hitter coming in and a couple of outfielders. She has options in the infield, but she may want more depth there. Brito was the PAC 12 1st team SS, but I lover her a...
