How the heck did Florida score 9 against OU and only get a single hit against us?

Mike White sucks, 2 championship series in 3 years only to lose to the greatest dynasty of all time. Sucks!

Yes it does. Royally. OU has Texas number. 

congrats to the Texas Softball team.. Got the number one overall seed and made it to the finals..  We are closing the gap despite all the blunders

When they did the in game interview the OU coach she had all the confidence in the world and White looked scared shitless the whole game.  That is the difference right there.

this is Mike White's fault pure and simple.  our baserunning has been shit for years and he hasn't had an ace since the chick left during Covid with her girlfriend or whatever.

Kavan is an ace. As a freshman she is doing incredible things. Cat Osterman is mentoring her. She is legit.

It's a little different since Creighton isn't a national power working on its fourth straight title.

And Nebraska Omaha is a hockey school. 

Women still out performing the men’s teams.  Hats off.

Can we please stop bitching about the game on OKC. The men have been in Omaha for years and it's never been an issue. 

True....their coach is the biggest difference, but having this tourney 20 miles from your campus just might help, ya think?

Yeah well, he got us there. That is worth something.

The people bitching about the home field advantage arent showing up to OKC to cheer on the girls. You are on your computer. Show up and do something about it.

4 in a row. Historic 

Now fucking get those seniors the fuck off of campus 

Congrats on a wonderful season, Lady Longhorns.
Here's to hoping next year is even sweeter!

Mentally destroyed. So with the number of really young players we have, I think the off-season starts with rebuilding that side of it. Too many girls played far too timidly for me to call it just a "bad couple nights."

Of course, you also must throw the house at Canady. There's a good chance we'd have won with her despite our overall funk.

If the game was in Georgetown or San Antonio everyone would and that's the point.

Pass on Canady. I do not like her circus antics every time she gets a strikeout. Hard hard pass. 

Let’s not forget this is a young team . . . We’ll be back 

 

nice season ladies 

As big an upgrade as White has been, he's either got a ceiling or some more growth/learning to do. 

He has seemed to overcome some of his limitations thus far.

If it was football it would basically be 50/50. People arent willing to travel for softball. It is what it is. 

I have never understood sitting around watching someone else celebrate.  If we're not shaking hands, I am immediately out of there.  Hit the showers, get a beer, get the fuck out.

At least next year and for the foreseeable future they will have to leave home for thr SEC tournament.    They literally have not left the OKC/Norman areas in years for post season play of any kind.  

that really doesn't matter for them.  the SEC tournament means shitall.  it is a huge recruiting advantage.  White hasn't out recruited them yet.  the game is different now.  you need to go get ace transfer pitchers to win and have a decent(not horribad like stanford)lineup.

Two four six eight who do we appreciate? 

I guess Coach White's "Sasha Fierce" strategy didn't work.

That 2022 team that made it never should have been in OKC.

This team is like a bunch of varsity HS kids against an NCAA team. Way more experience and leadership. 10 seniors versus a team made up of mostly freshmen and sophomores.

I'm sure I'll get negged, but I don't think it matters all that much. I doubt recruits really care where the championship is played when they're picking a school.

crazy.  we win the title with her.  she's not slamming bats after walks.  take her every day and twice on sunday.

Yeah wtf is this shit. We are all on the same team here. There arent even that many sports to compare. What a dumb take.

Great season that ended shittily. We have some holes we need to fill if we want to win a natty.

Yeah ok. Let's perpetually put the Final Four in Raleigh, North Carolina. Nobody will complain. Having it right in Duke's and UNC's backyard would be entirely non-controversial.

It is just obviously unfair. Even if 15,000 of us annually drove to Oklahoma City to camp out for tickets.

Unfortunately, so will OU with their huge recruiting class [Debbie Downer].  Best chance would've been if Florida eliminated them, but nope.  And of course, they avoided having to play Stanford at all.

He should probably turn to the "go get your pitcher when they're struggling" strategy.

Those 14000 of 15000 OU fans traveled to OKC.....but that's only 20-50 miles....they aren't travelling in mass 300-500 miles for this.

I get what youre saying, and I agree it is an advantage for OU. But let's say that the football national championship game was played at Norman Gaylord stadium every year. The crowds would be nearly 50/50 even with OU playing in the title game. They would have a slight edge at best. It is a willingness to travel for the game issue. Softball isnt as popular and people arent willing to spend big bucks on it. It is what it is.

White needs coaching from our Volleyball coach. Those gals are talented and mentally tough
