Never understood the hate for Oklahoma softball. Gasso runs a solid program. Took a program that was playing their games on a city owned recreational field in Norman for a couple of years after her arrival to 4 NC. If the argument is the WCWS is in their backyard, that’s a weak one. When nobody and I say nobody wanted the Softball HOF located in their city, OKC stepped up. And that was years before Gasso arrived at OU. If arrogance is an argument, I can concede some to that. But they win.

It’s not hate. I just want to see someone else win, like a SEC school to be honest.

I guess I'm a softball junkie I watched a lot of that UCLA game. VT wasn't in the least bit intimated by them. I noticed early on that the lines around the batters' boxes were barely marked. By the bottom of the 1st the only thing really left was the catcher's box. Turns out UCLA has quite a number of slappers who step way out if the lines were there not to mention some of the full swinging batters were stepping out. Well VT slappers were stepping out too if the lines were there and they wore UCLA out. Vt hit Garcia and Farmino? they only one they didn't hit was the third pitcher who they probably didn't scout much. Hate to say it but Oklahoma will win it all don't see UCLA hitting enough to beat them if they get past VT. Garcia was like Ashley never really got fully going.

I caught the last few innings of that game....I did quickly observe there were no lines for the batters box....The slappers must have felt like it was baseball 2000 all over again....Did the players kick away the lines? Saw a few girls almost take two steps toward the pitcher and no out call....

They barely had any chalk to begin with. If it was a Ucla strategy it back fired cause the VT slappers went to town.

We watched a few innings but my wife grew up in Raleigh and is a huge Hurricanes fan so we had to switch to hockey. I’ve got all the games on DVR, I’ll go back and watch the game tonight. Can’t wait to see what my better half has to say about no defined batters box lines considering all the controversy the last few years with slappers and no calls for some but not others in SEC play.

She retweeted a tweet from another softball player:
softball players: it’s supposed to be fun, don’t forget that.

Met her parents this year and talked a few times, very nice people. She seemed to get caught in the numbers game.

Just watching games any number of home runs in these parks with shorter walls would hit the top of the wall at UT. We have some of the highest fences it would appear.

Speaking of parks Hoover baseball stadium is nothing to write home about. They should rotate the tournament there is nothing great about that park.

Missouri losing at home to James Madison. I hope Missouri fires their coach! Rumor is every one in the SEC knows they don’t have what it takes!!

Missouri didn’t lose in the regional and their coach is only in like her 3rd season there. Also I don’t see Missouri consistently getting top recruiting classes. But please continue to be triggered because we aren’t kissing the Weaklings’ feet.
