Congrats to the Sooners on the championship. That's a hefty streak going.

Sooner bats weren't missing. If the pitch was hittable, they hit it. If it wasn't, they laid off.

Texas made a lot of noise earlier this season by winning a series against OU. If you look at it over the entire season including playoffs, quality won out.

It's fine to celebrate success. But there's always another day, and that team you just beat will get another shot at you. You've got to remember Job One.
Back in the 2010s, our football team had a group of DBs who called themselves the "Sharks." They couldn't back it up. Burnt toast week after week.
Shut yer piehole and prove it on the field, sez me.

Texas' only 2 wins against the Sooners were in Austin, by one run each. The Sooners also won one in Austin, by 3 runs.

And then the 3 games played in OKC were all basically Sooner blowouts. Texas just isn't on the same level. And I don't really see any reason to think it won't remain that way.

Eh, OU has the best coach and consistently brings in the absolute best talent, and why wouldn't they? They're the top program and the Championship is in their backyard. It's a never-ending circle, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone else is starting 50 yards behind them.

In brighter news, two of Texas' track and fielders winning their events yesterday, has pretty much clinched the Director's Cup for the Longhorns. That makes 3 out of the past 4 years. CDC has upgraded every sport he's touched since he got on campus, the future looks bright for Longhorn athletics.

So did Alabama football but we all know how that turned out

To say Texas will never beat OU in Womens Softball is Fearless like

Some Sooner fans I know thought that Texas had better talent going into the WCWS, even with the near-disaster in the Austin Super-Regional. I agreed with that line of thinking. Then Texas walloped Florida 10-0. OU lost to the Gators 9-3, then beat them 6-5 in extra innings.

Texas was not the #1 seed for nothing. The Lady Horns were the best-hitting team in all the land. The pitching did not look elite against OU in the finals, but it was good enough to shut out the big-hitting Gators.

I wonder if playing the WCWS in OKC, or playing against Patty Gasso, or a combination of both is in Mike White's head. And maybe the players' heads too. Texas' catcher (Atwood) lost track of how many outs there were in Game 1, allowing Hodge, the runner on 2nd, to advance to 3rd, setting up an easy RBI when OU's next batter, Jennings, singled to left. Mia Scott committed an egregious baserunning error for out #3, ending a rally, in the top of the 6th last night.

It's not the same thing at all but there's no need to belabor the point.

You'd think he'd work on his own mind-set and that of his players. But, so far, no. He's focused on the unfairness of it all.
No other coach complains about playing in OKC as much as Mike White does. That ain't the road to success.

Stewart Mandel is a wise man.
He was wisely opposed to a college football playoff.

Basketball is the sport with the biggest HFA, because the fans are practically on top of the zebras. For all those years, we played the Big 8 basketball tournament, and we still play the Big 12 basketball tournament, in Kansas City.

Unfair? Yes. What to do about it? Get over it. Get better.
