True story, can't wait.  I'll never chant that shit, so at least there's that.  But I'll be a goober all the same.

Water’s fine bruther

Remember when we took the lead?  That was cool.

Glad Shea can eat innings for Texas pitching tonight -- for whatever reason, just not our night.

J.Jefferson needs to show up and play great softball -- we need her to help lead this team to a win tomorrow !!!  🤘 

Who should recruit more poleekneesians..they just built to smash balls

That was fun. Let's do it again soon.

We have more errors than hits. I'll just jump out there and call it a problem.

We got this tomorrow y’all.. this championship series is not over!

Nope. Keep playing hard every out.

Maybe we just need our backs to the wall.

Not enough. We need 3 Ivan’s

The 6 home runs OU has hammered by 4 different players are a slight issue as well. We all knew this was a possibility. Hoped for a different outcome, but it wasn't meant to be tonight. I'd love to see them come back and play with pride tomorrow night. Heck, the Sooners have scored in every inning, and only the second inning did they score a single run. Holding them scoreless or to one run in the 6th would be a victory of sorts. 

Whelp, nvm. At least she kept it in the park. Desperate for moral victories when it's a 15-1 beatdown. 

 

OU puts up 30 runs in two games against 2 of the final 4 teams of the year...spacer.png

So glad Texas doesn't have to send another pitcher to face those Sooner girls until tomorrow. Their scoring just felt so inevitable every inning. Very depressing.

31 runs in the last 12 innings for OU. We have to hope their offense hits a wall tomorrow and maybe we can win a 3-2 type game

OU's power display happens virtually every game, pretty well independent of the opponent. Our making four errors was by definition within our control and a huge departure from our postseason norm. We couldn't have beaten even an ordinary team the way we played defense or hit tonight. 

Well that didn't go well hitting, fielding, or pitching wise.

Have a six pack and get em tomorrow Texas.

It still feels like free money these Texas girls made it this far. I just hate seeing them play with so much obvious pressure. Don't worry about the score. Just go out there and do your best. Heck, throw to first and get the out. They played so tight in this game. I hate that way more than the final score. 

This OU squad is a fucking juggernaut. It's the equivalent of the Bronx Bombers. I just don't want to see the girls get deflated. Play smart. Take your swings. Get the out at first. If they hit a home run, they hit a home run. Next batter. 

There is so much good to build on with this post season. I'm not going to let the outcome in the finals change my view about any of it. Too many years of Texas completely underachieving in softball and it feels like it's finally coming to an end.

Yup

Is JJ the only player that would start in OU's lineup? 

This was a great year and nothing to be disappointed with. Ran into a juggernaut that's destroying everyone. 

 

I know it sucks sometimes but this is why White should continue to prioritize hitting over defense in recruiting.  If we get 2 lights out pitchers we can prioritize defense.

Dolcini is just done. She probably won’t pitch again 

Part of our plan…..look like shit and get blown out the first game, then beat them two straight, since they’ll party all night….sneak up on them manana,

I’m guessing the tv audience, outside of Oklahoma, has turned off this mess as well….

The biggest problem is Dolcini isn't healthy. Not that it would  likely change the outcome of this series but it was the best chance for Texas. 

It's actually remarkable Texas is in the national championship series because Dolcini clearly hasn't been right since the Arkansas series. 

 

Not a big softball watcher but I know OU has been running the show lately. How are they such a machine? It’s the national title series and UT doesn’t even look like they belong on the same field as them.

It takes a great pitching performance, great defense, and offense to show up to beat Ou.  We don’t have any room for not performing our best.  Ou, not so much.  They have 3 pitchers who would be the aces on any other team, and multiple all star top hitting recruits.  We need some luck, and must keep it together manana, with a great pitching effort to win.   I don’t hear the fat lady singing.

Great unsigned pitchers out there hopefully, may give Texas another look and the publicity should be invaluable in recruiting players, plus, the experience will help us next year.

I’ve been saving my first post for a moment like this. So here goes (not into the whole brevity thing):

Fuck the glum bullshit. I’m not coming down from this high. Talent discrepancies have been there for a very long time. Getting this team to this series is not a miracle. That would be a disservice to the hard work everybody in the program has invested. But it is one hell of an achievement, and I am damn proud to celebrate it no matter the outcome.

I don’t give a shit if they get donkey punched again tomorrow night. This has been a fantastic run by a bunch of really gritty girls who could have mailed it in after Clearwater (like most of us wrote them off), but they had more pride than that, pulled together, and took this program to a place it has never been before.

This is the team Cat always deserved. So many different players have stepped up when the team needed it. 

Those sooner girls can hit eleventy billion homeruns and their fat fucking fathers can fill the screen for an hour talking about xbox, wrestling, and god knows what else, but the most compelling story of this wcws will be the resilience and fight that these young women, an afterthought to everyone outside of that locker room, have put on display defeating all-American after all-American and higher seed after higher seed..all the way to the fucking championship series. 

Yeah, ou’s fucking better, but anybody thinking some other team would fare any better against them is deluded. Three teams have beaten them, and the first to do it is standing there at the end. They’ve earned the right to have the final crack against the reigning champs.

So, lace ‘em up tomorrow, girls. You’ve proven that you can overcome tremendously long odds. Control what you can control. Clean up the errors. Work the count. Pitch to Alo..and Jennings. Let it all hang out. If they beat you, they beat you. Nothing they do will change the way I feel about this team or what it has achieved. You’ve given hope to the 48 unseeded teams that make the tournament each year that they can do the same. That hope did not exist previously. To me, that’s as important a contribution to the sport as any juggernaut ou squad could ever give. 

Nothing’s bringing me down, ladies. You are fucking legends. Play it out. Fuck ou. Hook ‘em.

Jefferson happens to play the same position as Jennings (400 average, 950 slugging, 29 HR, 85 RBI, 977 fielding as a sophomore) so starting Jefferson would require some juggling.

Jennings apparently prefers to play 3rd so you could have Jefferson at 2nd, Jennings at 3rd and move Johns from 3rd to 1st to keep her bat in the lineup.

She could hit for them, but she ain’t starting at 2B. Iakopo is better than either of their catchers 

Ok, so I am mostly disappointed by the Horns total lack of fight. This was the team I saw in Clearwater. Several times, we had kids swinging freely immediately after a walk was issued. We played defense like the softball was a hand grenade, our pitchers couldn't hit their spots, and our hitters couldn't hit their asses with both hands. It was embarrassing to watch, so I can't imaging how it felt for the players on the field. Unfortunately, only one of those groups can do anything about it. We will see tonight if they have any fight left in them or if they are just happy to be there.
