June 4, 20241 yr I love how she was celebrating before she got to first base. Wish they had thrown her ass out at second.
June 4, 20241 yr Author We knew we’d have to take down OU. Time to redeem ourselves for 2022. Win this one for Dolcini
June 4, 20241 yr Assuming we get their 2 tomorrow and then Maxwell for 2 and 3. Need to jump on them and take game 1.
June 4, 20241 yr it's like the Nature Boy used to say: OU is the man in college softball. we all knew we'd have to slay the dragon in its own backyard. let's do this.
June 4, 20241 yr Even with maxwell throwing a gazillion pitches, this ain't gonna be easy. They get the home crowd so we will have to win this one on the road in a hostile environment. If it's May tomorrow, we have to jump all over her and leave no doubt. Edited June 4, 20241 yr by bschoolprof
June 4, 20241 yr Game 1: Mac Game 2: Kavan if necessary game 3: Kavan (until she fatigues) and then Citlaly/Mac/Czech

After that first royal ass kicking, I am pretty proud of my Gators making it to extra innings in game two against those assholes. Still, we showed up and hopefully are still in the minds of young softball recruits. Hook ‘em! Take them down
June 4, 20241 yr Even though the WCWS is in OKC and OUsucks backyard, these games have been great! Really felt sorry for the Gator Freshman pitcher, asked to not only go three straight days, but into extras against the “machine.” Gators’ had them on the ropes and congrats to them and their staff. They are very young and will be a future team to deal with.Rest up Lady Longhorns, as the biggest test starts tomorrow evening! We can end the streak!Hook’em!!!

June 4, 20241 yr Looking at the TX-OU battles this year, it seems like Citlaly and Czech have had success against them maybe moreso that Mac/Kavan. And Citlaly has several wins against good teams. I didn't follow the early tournament games - is she in a slump right now?

It might be a confidence issue. My prediction is we see mostly Mac and TK from here on out. They have the hot hand and are locked in.

Otherwise, they wont see much action. I think Texas wins this series in 2. We are hot and the sooners are running on fumes imo. 1 minute ago, Cairn Horn88 said: Didn't we just have 3 of these with aggy? And then a game with Stanford that was pretty grindy as well. Texas is battle tested and ready for anything.

June 5, 20241 yr 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

June 5, 20241 yr this definitely has the feel of Texas/USC in the Rose Bowl. that matchup was inevitable. Texas trying to stop USC's threepeat in their backyard. now, Texas is trying to stop OU's fourpeat in its backyard. who is gonna be our VY?
June 5, 20241 yr I predict Stewie is going to continue her hot streak and bring pain to the OU balls!
June 5, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, LTtxfan said: Guess oddsmakers have blOU as favorites?? Yes, it's about 52/48 because basically they are the home team. On a neutral field it would be about 52/48 Texas. Just pisses me off they have the baked in HFA like that. How many NC's would Grasso have if the WCWS were in Omaha, Nashville, Dallas, Chicago?
June 5, 20241 yr Author If Maxwell pitches today, she's pitching game 3. But she'd be pitching with no day off after throwing 148 pitches. If she gets the day off, she's probably pitching game 2 and 3.

She might try the same thing again that almost bit her. I don't think she wants to risk going down 0-1 to us and not throwing her best. Will be interesting.

They have been the best team, by a wide margin, for the last 10 years. Homefield wouldn't have mattered in most, if not all, of those seasons.

Would be be able to consistently recruit the best players if the WCWS were in a different city?

June 5, 20241 yr Speaking of recruiting, are Brister and Salmon our only two HS signees for next season? I assume Hannah Wells stays a year later.

Yes, we have a super small class because we only lose 4 seniors - Czech, Whitaker, Bella and Washington. Still allows us to go into the portal for any needs (lefty bullpen arm, Bella replacement in the OF, power bat)

Ryan Brown is going to find somewhere to swing the bat, Sophia Simpson is an after thought on this roster, Cimuz will likely want to play every day, and I am hopeful we don't lose Citlaly as she seems to have fallen out of favor. Add in the one or two none of us saw coming, and there could be a few holes to fill next year. My guess on the starting 9 next season looks like this: Henry CF Maloney RF Scott LF Atwood C/DH Stewart 1B/C ViVi SS Goode 2B Hunter 3B Morgan/Kavan/Salmon/Citlaly

Mitchell as potential DP. I hope Katy C stays, but wouldn't begrudge her at all for leaving. For portal, I wouldn't mind taking on a hitter to push Goode or Maloney. And of course if some Ace really likes us, consider that as well.
