So I guess we're the only school that can't get contracts with our opponents signed in a timely manner? This is beyond ridiculous..

Are we really #1 worthy?

And what's the story with Vivi?

Expand  

Yes a lot coming back. Last year team was young. Not sure what Florida has coming back but if we’re not #1 it’s Florida so they must have something. 
 

imo Oklahoma is still on top until you beat them I do believe it’ll be easier to do that however than in years past .  They lost alot ,

Florida and Texas could easily be 1A and 1B. But I think the edge goes to Texas - we crushed them in the WCWS. 

Return TK, Mac and CG in the circle. Bring in Cam. All but Washington return as positional starters.

Exactly my thinking. We beat them last year with pretty much the same team so I didn’t know if they had a good transfer pickup or what for them to be chosen over Texas.

Early season pitching is gonna hinge on CG returning to her freshman year form and not the garbage fire she was most of the end of the season. Cam needs time to get her feet wet

Coach starts at 15min and is on for about 12 mins talking about our team. I very much look forward to seeing which players take a positive step this year. He's right, team should be considered young. SImilar to wbb, we seem to be in good hands and trending well. 

If sensitive, no names needed but does anyone know if Mike has NIL muscle or working off the general collective?

Now it looks updated again.  It may now be a full schedule. 

When I first posted it, everything prior to Tucson was missing.

Gee, what are the odds we see Canady twice Valentine's weekend. 😏

Expand  

She's going to pitch 70% of their non-conf and probably 2 out of every 3 weekend series games for them.  If I want a betting man, I'd bet the over on her surpassing her 230.2 IP from last year.

They brought on some other transfers that can hit iirc. And she will pitch 2 out of 3 weekend games and probably the weekday games too. 

Expand  

Also it’s the Big 12. They’ll run through it with her, it’s really just OKST

Also don't forget, everyone hits well in Lubbock -

The best teams they face - MSST (neutral), Nebraska (neutral), Texas x2 (road), aggy x2 (road), OKST x3 (home).  It's another soft schedule thanks to a Big 12 slate.

The Arizona schools give the Big12 a little RPI boost, but certainly not even close enough to replace the losses of Texas and OU. I could see an Arizona school winning the big12 if either Tech or OKST slip up

It's the Coors field of NCAA softball, we hit a bunch of tanks there every trip.

Gotta give Gasso some credit here, but White is doing something similar without the PR love fest about it

The REF

@KREFsports

This should be applauded! Instead of playing in the Mary Nutter Classic this season in Palm Springs, Patty Gasso and OU Softball decided to schedule games at select schools in California to help make them money. “It’s trying to made the Mid-Majors some money, because they’re going to get lost in this transition and I really want to help them however I can.”

Expand  

Texas is playing 2 games @ ULL, 2 games @ Lamar, 2 games @ Sam Houston, 5 games @ Ohio State (lol it's a B1G softball program, it's basically a mid-major) and we have played often @ UTSA, @ TXST, @ SFA, etc.

It’s going to be an interesting first season in the SEC for both of us. I’m ready for softball to start, not to mention baseball. I don’t get the consternation of OU slotting in at 3 in the preseason rankings. I think that’s fair given what we lost. Let’s just get on the diamond and get the games going this week!

I don’t think OU is gonna take a huge step back but like, that was a hell of a senior class you graduated. Gonna be hard to replace all of that at once. In the circle and at the plate
