She was a double whammy for Texas. Went to OU and immediately became a star, and took Billy Bowman with her. What a kick in the nuts.

True that. It hurt 

[Cairn Horn88 8,287]

OU has 9 players from Calif, 4 from Ok., and only 2 from Texas.

I’m tired of listening to these announcers suck the Gasso family’s collective dick.

Teams need to step up and make it interesting for her, she has to be bored.  Saban and Geno have competition now, it’s not as assumed UConn or Bama will win it all.

Small ball isn't working against Trautwein. She's given up 40 walks in 109 innings pitched and only 1 hit per about 10 batters. The difference between Texas and OU is one team can hit for power and the other can't. 

Our best path to victory in this game was for Dolcini to hold OU to 3 or 4 runs with Texas hitting a couple HRs. 

 

blOU worked a lot more deeper counts, and Dolcini became fatigued and made a few poor pitches.  It's so infuriating watching a Texas hitter swing on a 1-0 count and a runner on trailing 6-1.  If you make Trautwein throw more pitches, she's gonna make more mistakes.  

The approach by Texas hitters today have shown their lack of experience of how to win in big games against blOU.  The way blOU is pitching today, Texas can score 5-7 runs if they would just be more patient.

Yeah, I have a sense that Gasso is deep with whatever the equivalent of the "street agent" game is for softball. She gets a lot of great players who would seem to be a natural fit for UCLA, the Arizona schools, UW, or Oregon.

The other thing is that Gasso outwardly pushes is religion. You'll see that in her post-games frequently.

[D3zii 3,733]

Idk how far softball recruiting has advanced, but according to some sites there is 5 players from Texas in the top 25 In The country in 2022

OU has 2

Ucla has 1

LSU has 1 

Texas has 1

Texas is just out talented. 

OU has one of the best lineups ever and Texas has a good lineup. Really not much else to it. This was a great step for Texas but if you want to get to this level you have to get talent like OU.

Need some NIL for our softball players….hmmm.

Apparently, OU's softball NIL is, on a relative level, better than OU football.

Stree agents don’t really happen in softball, but travel ball coaches do help steer their players to certain schools. Gasso has a great relationship with the PGF tournament and those teams that play there.

Cimusz finally showing the other Texas hitters what a professional AB looks like !!!

12 pitches

Cimusz a better option today, I think. That was an oops by Mike

Would be interesting to see any NIL comparisons.  White needs to shake some donor branches.

Getting back to the WCWS was a good step. 3 straight supers and a WCWS is better than anything we’ve ever done without someone named Cat

Finally making blOU pitcher work... 

[Cairn Horn88 8,287]

Pitcher change?

[Rockethorn1978 6,109]

Finish this game strong and work your way back to play ou will definitely help taking a step forward. They’re battling and not kissing the ring of ou. 
 

fuck ou.

[Cairn Horn88 8,287]

Too anxious to swing,…..damn.

[Rickylovesweed 14,542]

Whitaker. 

White trying to make this a game with one swing.  This has obviously been his approach and I have no problem with it. 

[LTtxfan 49,378]

Take a fucking pitch...  Down 6-1

DAMN IT

[Js1 85,629]

Whitaker just let OU off the hook. Terrible approach

It’s not just NIL at OU. Their budget for softball is almost double that of other schools. Great facilities, highest paid coach, and a winning tradition also helps bring in the best players every year

Softball was an afterthought at UT when Connie was here. Things are moving in the right direction now, and I trust that White is the guy to get us there. It won’t get easier when we move conferences 

[Js1 85,629]

Arizona got hot too but they were still borderline to even make the tournament. I like our odds tomorrow night 

[LTtxfan 49,378]

blOU not playing that well today so far, but Texas just not taking advantage of opportunities...

blOU SUCKS !!!

Their stacking awesome classes now and having quality players transfer out. The Bama-football comparison is apt. Makes me wonder if there is another draw.

[InkaUtexas 26,185]

Fuck it. Our team is fun to watch, has heart and it sucks they live in the shadows of other programs. 

Lets face these future Casino workers again and then kick their asses.

Lol, Trautwein is doing what she always does and the OU lineup is doing what they always do by hitting for power. 

Texas could probably work the counts a little more but the idea "Texas is not taking advantage of opportunities" is funny. OU is just damn good and better than us.

Ump sucks ass... that was not ball 4

We wouldn’t see them again until the champ series. If OSU wins tonight, gotta get through them after Arizona. The two teams we struggled with all year. 1-7

[Goodman 3,273]

I'm just going to view this as Rawlings vs. Mizuno, reverse the brands and we win.

Crazier things have happened. Keep the faith man until the final out. I say this as a Red Sox fan. 2004 baby!

Lol... blOU has given Texas chances today.  This was a winnable game if Texas played a lot better.

Yeah blOU is good, but their pitcher has not pitched that well today...

And that is what we need to do - recruit Calif which has overall superior talent.    Gasso is from Calif,  many connections.

We never stood a chance with Coleman vs OU.    She is from The Colony, Mom is a high school coach and Dad is a travel ball coach. (they were, not sure if active)     All those kids from North Dallas have been OU brainwashed.   Even aggy and Baylor have written off North Dallas to concentrate on Houston with us.  Tech gets a couple of leftovers.

But hopefully this CWS appearance will be the beginning.

 

Edit:  Let's hope OKSt can win this WCWS if we don't.

So Trautwein drank the north Texas kool-aid from her time at UNT?

[Cairn Horn88 8,287]

I think beating UCLA the first game, was huge for us.

Yeah blOU is good, but their pitcher has not pitched that well today...

To beat OU it would take a nearly perfect game from Texas. 

OU has a substantially better lineup and pitching is slight advantage for OU with Trautwein over Dolcini. It has nothing to do with coaching, playing better, different approach, etc. OU just has lot more talent than we do currently. 

This was a great step for Texas but reality is nobody in the country is beating this OU team until they get the same level of talent.
