huh?  not even close.

Yeah it does but the announcement of hosting while they’re not is gonna make their celebration a tad bit awkward. Like most big 12 tournament games, I’ll have completely forgotten about this by Tuesday as I know every detail about our regional and every potential Omaha outcome…. 

For sure. The tournament is usually the least important part of the season.

But I want to win everything.

Heading into the tournament last year we were about as un-hot as you could be at the plate.  Yes, only thing left to do is sit back and enjoy the ride

This is kinda stupid, but also hilarious, if true:

 

Does that mean we got credit for 2 road wins, or do we label our games separately b cause of stupid rules?

I think it does.

they did what they needed to do to get the host, which was very much in question.  It just sucks we had to trot nixon out there again and watch him fail miserably again against OU for the tournament championship.

maybe next year will be a different story but I wouldn't be totally disappointed if Pierce didn't have that option next year.

new season starting this weekend.  hope we draw a very shitty 4.

Yeah same. Though typically I want us going 1-2 or 2-2 in this fucker. Get some real games in then pitch guys like Sthele then get home where we’ll be till Omaha. This particular year it actually mattered. And I hate this game but I am finding some humor in ou winning this stupid tournament but like right before they do they find out they don’t get the big prize. We do.

Yeah, I didn't understand that either.

maybe he meant Lyndon Baines Johnson.  If so, I could agree with that, Nixon could be worse though.

Yeah like I said earlier. Gimme that regular season championship, win a game or 2 in the big 12 tournament then get home. It’s normally just a stupid scrimmage we don’t need. Just so happens this particular year…

ugh, hate Oral Bob as a 4 and don't really want Texas State but whatever.

So ou finishes ahead of Texas in the regular season conference standings and ahead of them in the tournament, winning it. But Texas gets to host. You hate to see it.

I will always remember our dramatic run out of the loser's bracket to win the 2002 Conference tournament that helped springboard our run to the national championship.

So I tend to think winning this tournament is a good sign...2015 the obvious exception but we weren't doing anything that year anyway.

I really really want the Omahogs. Finish what the softball girls started. 

so it is just the host sites, not the ranking 1-16 right?  that's the one bad thing about this loss as it could affect the #2 we get.

Just now, Valmy77 said:

What? You couldn't score on that Murph?

Our crazy 3b coach got tossed a while back. New one is gunshy.

Missed the 3rd base bag, so had to go back.  Ruined Todd getting another RBI.  

Boy is Trevin going to be disappointed when he gets back to the locker room and finds out he has to pack a suitcase again

OMG I'm so much happier that we made the last out striking out instead of being aggressive trying to score

Correct. This one will hurt for seeding. But at least we will be at the Disch. Let's do it.

Yeah that fun as fuck. Guess it depends. Obviously winning>>>>losing but in recent years I’ve always looked at this as scrimmage time before buckling down. Ok whatever I’m fucking ready for next weekend 

Pierce can't come on the field to talk to Craig Way on the postgame show -- one good reason for a coach to get thrown out of a game.  😋

He got thrown out of game.  Can't return to the field according to Craig Way...

Come on in, the water’s warm Z!

Disappointing result, but I’m confident that the national seed opposite us will choke in their regional.  Looking at you aggy.

I want us to be a top 8 seed, otherwise pair us with Palo Alto or Corvallis.  

I don't think I'm afraid of any possible team in the postseason other than Oklahoma State.

Finishing tied for 5th in B12 probably rules out a top 8 seed though right ?

Two games out of first.  And a brutal non conference road schedule which looking back on we did ok on...

we aren't getting a top 8.  had we won today it was possible.  we didn't win our conf(and finished 5th no less) or the tourney and our RPI will be lower than 8.

we shouldn't be afraid of anyone with our lineup but its all going to come down to hansen, gordon, stevens, and harrison IMO.

Being paired with Tennessee would be rough but hey we beat them before.

Let’s hope for gsu or Maryland if they get top 8s.  If we win and they lose then we host again, and if we win and they win then we get to go to an inexperienced program. 

Oklahoma reliever can eat some shit and live in Oklahoma the rest of his life.

They might as well be flipping us the bird. The meaning behind it is exactly the same, but for some reason it's no big deal.

Whatever.

I agree completely 

I don't think this was a meaningless trophy. In any given year, I would like the horns to win a trophy, be it the regular season, tournament, or world series. If we end up winning it all, then you can say this tournament trophy was meaningless. As of now, I don't like our changes of making a deep run in the post-season given how weak our bullpen is. So, we may end up with no trophies this year despite having a strong start to the season.

Having said that there is no doubt that we accomplished lot more than what most of us had hoped for coming into this tournament. Now, let's kick some ass in the regional and onwards! 🤘
