Re: Why are our pitchers seldom

The reason you don't see more change ups thrown (not just at OU) is that not every pitcher can throw a quality (or even near quality) change up. Most will telegraph the pitch in some way, others can throw it without telegraphing, but have no consistent accuracy. That's why the pitchers that can thro...

Re: NIT...WHY???

Yes, they were 20-12 overall. Normally 20 wins is a pretty solid number; however they were 8-10 in the conference and lost in the first round of the conference tournament. There were injuries, but even when they weren't injured, they didn't play consistently well, having to come from behind for wins...

Re: Some Sooner Softball Stats compared to other teams

OUB,that is some good work on presenting those stats. I know you spent some time developing and researching them. They seem to be very very reflective of the quality of ball being played to this point in the season. One thing I am curious about is, what would those stats look if those same teams, in...

They didn't mention it, but I think Alex Storako will like Columbia, SC just fine (in the off season).

Re: Surprise Softball Scrimmage at 4 PM on Friday Night: What's new?

... I thought most hitters were not comfortable with the time they had last night. I thought all the pitchers were affected by the rule except for Keeney, She had time to go back and pick up dirt and deliver the pitch, someway. I think it will affect the stamina of the pitchers. They will throw may...

Re: Baker beats Jalen

Baker played great, even with the 7 dropped passes by the Buccaneers…….dropped passes by WR always amaze me ..one job… Bucs defense was great too,,,,,, Bucs may go further than the pundits expect/// :eyes: One thing is for sure. No matter what they do, or how far they go, the Dallas Cowboys will be...

Re: Bama,s future

Interesting that Jimmy Sexton the agent to all Saban, DeBoer, Sarkisian, Kiffen, Smart... There are no losers in that group he represents. Saban retires (with a nice retirement package written into his contract) while avoiding a buy out. All the rest get raises to do nothing different, just keep sh...

Re: Video of the First OU Softball Practice: Good things I noticed !

Some very good things I noticed: (listed in order) - Cydney Sanders on the field with a dirty tee shirt practicing. - McEnroe-Marinas is taking ground balls on the field in practice. I did not expect this at all. - Coor is on the field practicing. - Coleman is in the infield on the dirt taking grou...

Re: Did Saban Just Retire?

I, for one, am not surprised at this news! I figured he knew his time was over when OU was officially accepted into the SEC, if he was going to go out on top. :D :D :D Just kidding of course. Now the "Tide" can begin the age old who was their greatest coach - Nick Saban or Bear Bryant? As ...

I am 99% sure the wedding ceremony took place in Glass Chapel and the reception was in Stoney Creek Hotel - Broken Arrow. I subscribe to his youtube channel "Hangtime" and have enjoyed his journey. I am just sorry that he didn't catch on with an NFL team. They live in the Dallas area now....

Re: Venables Announces Defensive Staff Change

I have seen Zach Arnett's name tossed around as one possible replacement, but as DC AND LB coach.

I think Bates gets moved to sole DC and they hire a LB coach

Personally, while I'm dreaming, I'd love to see them hire Glenn Schumann.
