Look at Tiger Woods. Such a mental edge that helped him win for a long time. But when it finally broke, the flood gates came in.
OU's pitching is not close to what they had the last two years but it appears it's not going to matter.
OU has some elite freshman pitchers coming in and I would expect Gasso bringing in 1-2 pitchers in the portal.

Tori Vidales. For God's sake.
Did ESiPN make you put on that puke orange outfit or did you do that willingly? Lose a bet?

I hope we crank up the NIL money for Softball. Coach Ford said she's trying to get more funds. We ought to be making a big push in softball. We're close to a title run, but we just need to fund some critical pieces of the lineup for coach. Baseball and Softball are both the only 2 major sports legitimately in the ballpark of winning a National Championship in the next year or two. So let's give Coach Ford the money she needs, and Schlossnagle too.

Do you need the link to Texas Aggies United?
In all seriousness, I do wonder what the going rates are for top level athletes in non-revenue sports?
For example, what did Ty have to pay Mac Morgan to go there?
Keely is in the portal. Showed up on Softball America's transfer tracker
There was a farewell tweet from her that was fairly quickly deleted so I thought she may have changed her mind. We will see
FYI. Our tennis girls just won the championship and our golfers are near the top. Let's make sure all of our ladies are in the mix for funds.

I watched it all…I'm just curious what NIL for non-rev spotters actually costs. I can't imagine it's much comparatively to football/baseball/basketball.
Does anyone have email or contact # for softball staff? Please PM me if you have it.
OU pays very well. A non scholly player at OU can easily pay for all school expenses and have money left over.
I understand the Ags are fairly competitive from what I understand. This coach is doing a good job.

Sounds like it really wouldn't take a ton of NIL to load your roster…
The NIL department that former golf coach Higgins is in charge of is giving signed baseballs for 250.00 contributions to NIL. It seems like they could do similar for all sports. I would love to have a Kennedy signed ball.
'90
That's a great idea. I would love to have one with the signatures of this year's senior class.

Yep. I really don't get people being upset that we removed Haley Lees banner or whatever. She quit on her team here to join a made team to chase a ring.
Coach Ford- if they sign them, we will buy.

Texas lighting up Florida, 5-0 after just one inning played.

Fumbling away the SR to tu is more painful every day.

Makes the BS seeding even worse and the few mental mistakes hurt worse.
Also some of the game 3 losses we had had early in SEC play came back to haunt us.
Wrong thread again. Damnit
Run ruled SEC champs. LolStone44 said:
Sorry, but tu is not very good. If they were in the SEC they would be Missouri. And they think this is the best team they've ever had? Way overrated. The Aggies took him to the very end with an average team
And sips barely beat A&M, doesnt say much.
Ouch! Sick burn!
Anyone can beat the ags, right?

A few days old but great twitter thread touting the success of our transfers. Sounds like we are big game hunting
We score 19 runs in 3 games vs the sips.
In 3 CWS games they have given up 0.
Crazy

Just an indictment to how absolutely hosed we were on seeding
The likely national champion outscored us 20-19 over 3 games. So incredibly hosed on our seeding.

More than just seeding.
Yes
But it also shows our program is headed on a great trajectory.

Overrated sips lucked out
Both teams playing for the championship will be in our conference next year.

One of those teams should not be there.
You do realize it's a national reputation that they earned in many sports even if not recently???Dark_Knight said:
