Re: It was inevitable I suppose, OU loses to Louisiana

As several have mentioned the pressure of THE STREAK (including me) I was reminded of a olayer talking last year about the pressure of the winning streak , that player Was Bahl . I think she cited it as one of the factors in her transferring to The Land of Corn .

Re: It was inevitable I suppose, OU loses to Louisiana

I agree that the STREAK put enormous pressure on this team ,however I would say it became a 600 pound gorilla on OUr backs not a monkey . We pressing too hard at the plate and in field today BUT I would add that we have seen shades of this all season long . How many times did we have one of OUr stal...

Re: Love's Field Progress

The facility looks incredible! The House that Patty Built! I must admit though I find it interesting that the outfield wall is almost understated by today's standards. It seems most schools pay tribute to national titles and/or great players from the past with big murals on the wall. While OU's nat...

Re: So! What Do You Think So Far?

Coach Dufus White will unravel PG's secret sauce if Patty sits down with him and writes it all out for him in crayon .I am hard pressed to think of another coach in any sport who is as petty and classless as White . Thank goodness he is also largely clueless .

Re: So! What Do You Think So Far?

To this point I would say that while defense and pitching appear close to PG standard OUr offense is not. Patty herself has voiced frustration at not getting timely hitting with runners on base . I recall her citing 2 times in which we left bases loaded in same game .

Re: Pitching Question

Very thorough breakdown of the historical narrative and facts around OU's current pitching reality, '56! All you said rings true to me. This goes to a discussion awhile back around the turnover rate at OUSB. In the context of this debate, there was talk about whether Coach recruits over (and then f...
