We beat Maxwell 2-1 and May 2-1 in Austin.....it can be done....but ou definitely has a home field advantage.

Goddammit she did everything wrong on that grounder and it still found her glove

If Mac goes 7 innings tomorrow and Texas wins, game 3 is going to be a tough call. Most likely will have to give Kavan a second chance.

After Coach White gets us in a bind in Game 2, maybe he could throw us a bone and put in the hot pitcher so we can at least eyeball the goods.

Can’t tell if Maxwell hates the over exuberance of her team, but she hasn’t participated.   

She's old enough to be some of their mothers.

of course you would.. but at the first sign of trouble, they will have to pull her and throw in Czech

Totally dominated and beatdown like a stray puppy. ….

Hope they can find something tomorrow. No way Gasso sits her tomorrow

Ad Astra Per Aspera.  A rough road leads to the stars.  It will be an uphill climb, but it ain't over yet.

Give 'em hell tomorrow.

TEXAS!

time for us to win 2 straight like we did in Austin.. #HookEm 

Yeah it's best of 3 so let's win tomorrow 🤘

Needed Florida to win, this all feels Ou now….  Florida was afraid of us and OU, we play like were afraid of OU now.  

Edited by Hook1997

must be nice to just plug in a new ace transfer every year.  maybe Mac can throw a SO.

Play better. That starts by not putting pitches on a tee. It continues with playing defense. It ends with putting solidly hit balls into play every inning. Do all that and you win. Tonight we did none of them. 

Got punched in the face early. But too many mistakes throughout the game.

Get em tomorrow hopefully. 🤘

(on another note...what does that stadium hold? Pretty BS they get to play every year they go in front of a crowd that has to be 90% oU fans)

Yeah we all love football but the other sports need love, too. 

NIL allocation for softball seems cut and dry. Give a huge part of the pot to an ace and ride that horse hard.

we are at that point.  we can realistically claim you can win one here if you come.

2022 we lost first game 16-1 to OU in the finals....so.....I guess you could say we are getting better?

ha. scored 3x the runs and only gave up half the runs.  so tomorrow is 9-4 win.

Sure would be sweet for Horns to win the next two games

I'm back tomorrow to watch 🤘

Ignorant take a negged. TOF isn’t only focused on football. OU organized for softball ahead of every other program and kudos to them, but plenty are doing work and TOF and other Texas efforts are putting in work. If you want to step in and back stop Texas softball NIL to match OU, please fucking do it. Otherwise, go fuck yourself.

Actually they won the regionsl to advance to the Supers.  But sgee with your premise.

Still think it's bullshit OU gets to be at home every year in the WCWS.

Same.

Ugh, we were out tonight so I recorded it again. Near campus the Tower was orange. Not willing to search why I mistakenly assumed… believed a comeback was happening all the way up until stranding 2 in the bottom of the 6th, that’s when I knew it was a hoax. 
 

fuck ou. 

At least I learned 1 thing last night. Right down the middle 5" above the knee is a ball. Texas pitcher isn't supposed to be throwing a pitch in that location.

Gasso saying they felt like the underdog.....yea, right.

I told yall, she is like Kirby Smart. Any slight, she will use to make her team of 3 time champs who basically live at OKC in May/June into the plucky underdog

He told people to donate to TOF and you lose your shit while telling him to donate to TOF. Genius!

You knew that as soon as White mentioned rotating the WCWS she'd spin that into telling her girls, "Texas thinks you only win because you get to play in OKC every year. They think they're better than you."

If that’s enough to beat you then they are better than you. My message to the team would be … “Toughen up buttercup.”

“mia you mad? You look mad. You should be mad. Fucking okies whipped yo ass, why you not mad?”

Not sure I can agree when the past 2 games have produced 5 runs in total. Plus, most "student athletes" dedicate themselves to their respective sport so it's only fair to get them a little something.

MW needs to spin it the other way . . . they get every built in advantage there is; no one thinks we can take out the champ, etc.  Instead, we come out playing like shit.  I'd like to see more poise and more intensity.

Whatever White does in big non-elimination games, he needs to pull a Costanza and do the opposite.  We rarely come out playing well.  We're either too relaxed or too tight.

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

Went back to review this article, and it is on point and mentions how Atwood struggles vs Maxwell.  It also seems that blOU has more HR hitters spread throughout their lineup.  Their starting pitcher and catcher are big advantages too.

I hate it’s in okc every year but in Omaha no one bitches because Nebraska sucks and hasn’t taken advantage of their state hosting it. OU has taken advantage of it by creating an unbeatable team, Okie lite has the same advantage and it didn’t help at all.

Well, that's what happens with a dominant pitcher.  We score like crazy against non-dominant pitchers, so does blOwU, last night being Exhibit A.

But, like you, I am a tad uncomfortable with "giving it all" to one player.  Seems like a recipe for locker room unrest.

We used to bitch mildly about Omaha when Corn was actually pretty good under DVH.  We still pretty much owned their ass.

Baseball is popular enough and has been where fan bases travel and will buy up tickets ahead of time.  Softball is nowhere close to that, so the closer you are the more you’ll obviously have, especially if it’s 20 minutes away in the middle of your fan nest.

That being said it’s a moot conversation, just win baby.
