If Mac goes 7 innings tomorrow and Texas wins, game 3 is going to be a tough call. Most likely will have to give Kavan a second chance.

of course you would.. but at the first sign of trouble, they will have to pull her and throw in Czech

Play better. That starts by not putting pitches on a tee. It continues with playing defense. It ends with putting solidly hit balls into play every inning. Do all that and you win. Tonight we did none of them.

Got punched in the face early. But too many mistakes throughout the game.

Get em tomorrow hopefully. 🤘

(on another note...what does that stadium hold? Pretty BS they get to play every year they go in front of a crowd that has to be 90% oU fans)

NIL allocation for softball seems cut and dry. Give a huge part of the pot to an ace and ride that horse hard. 

we are at that point.  we can realistically claim you can win one here if you come.

Only thing to say is--

Yeah we all love football but the other sports need love, too. 

Ignorant take a negged. TOF isn’t only focused on football. OU organized for softball ahead of every other program and kudos to them, but plenty are doing work and TOF and other Texas efforts are putting in work. If you want to step in and back stop Texas softball NIL to match OU, please fucking do it. Otherwise, go fuck yourself.

Ugh, we were out tonight so I recorded it again. Near campus the Tower was orange. Not willing to search why I mistakenly assumed… believed a comeback was happening all the way up until stranding 2 in the bottom of the 6th, that’s when I knew it was a hoax. 
 

fuck ou.

Gasso saying they felt like the underdog.....yea, right.

You knew that as soon as White mentioned rotating the WCWS she'd spin that into telling her girls, "Texas thinks you only win because you get to play in OKC every year. They think they're better than you."

If that’s enough to beat you then they are better than you. My message to the team would be … “Toughen up buttercup.”

“mia you mad? You look mad. You should be mad. Fucking okies whipped yo ass, why you not mad?”

Not sure I can agree when the past 2 games have produced 5 runs in total. Plus, most "student athletes" dedicate themselves to their respective sport so it's only fair to get them a little something.

MW needs to spin it the other way . . . they get every built in advantage there is; no one thinks we can take out the champ, etc.  Instead, we come out playing like shit.  I'd like to see more poise and more intensity.

Whatever White does in big non-elimination games, he needs to pull a Costanza and do the opposite.  We rarely come out playing well.  We're either too relaxed or too tight.

ESPN has a lengthy article up by Bill Connelly breaking down the championship series 

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/softball/story/_/id/40280109/2024-wcws-national-championship-softball-oklahoma-texas

Went back to review this article, and it is on point and mentions how Atwood struggles vs Maxwell.  It also seems that blOU has more HR hitters spread throughout their lineup.  Their starting pitcher and catcher are big advantages too.

I hate it’s in okc every year but in Omaha no one bitches because Nebraska sucks and hasn’t taken advantage of their state hosting it. OU has taken advantage of it by creating an unbeatable team, Okie lite has the same advantage and it didn’t help at all.

Well, that's what happens with a dominant pitcher.  We score like crazy against non-dominant pitchers, so does blOwU, last night being Exhibit A.

But, like you, I am a tad uncomfortable with "giving it all" to one player.  Seems like a recipe for locker room unrest.

We used to bitch mildly about Omaha when Corn was actually pretty good under DVH.  We still pretty much owned their ass.

Baseball is popular enough and has been where fan bases travel and will buy up tickets ahead of time.  Softball is nowhere close to that, so the closer you are the more you’ll obviously have, especially if it’s 20 minutes away in the middle of your fan nest.

That being said it’s a moot conversation, just win baby.
