  1. I didn’t see anything over the weekend to change my thoughts from last week. Still think UT should be ranked #1 right now based on SOS and quality wins. That will sort itself out when we play later in the season. UT has looked damn good. Your frosh pitcher is going to be a handful for the next 4 years. We have Mary Nutter this weekend. No highly ranked teams but not directional school U like last weekend. Something tells me we may not get through this weekend unscathed. Just a sneaking feeling watching our bats so far through the first couple of weeks of the season. 

  2. They won’t drop us from 1 until we lose a game but if I were voting and being completely objective I’d have UT at 1 after the way you dismantled everyone this weekend. Particularly the UCLA game. It will be interesting to see how the Lady Bruins respond against the Cowgirls today. OSU hasn’t looked great against pretty weak competition this weekend.

    My favorite comment I saw online: “Texas looked like OU and OU looked mortal” 

    There is a lot of truth in that comment. OU/Washington was close because Hansen was called for obstruction on a runner we threw out at the plate. Extended the inning and UDub scored their three. It was the right call the way the rule is written but I still hate that rule. We certainly did look mortal this weekend though. Way too many fly ball outs. And UT looked absolutely dominant. Looking forward to Cowgirls/UCLA today and seeing how you guys look in Clearwater. Then seeing how we look at Mary Nutter in a couple of weeks.

    It’s borderline illegal but not gonna get called consistently 

    She’s very reminiscent of Amanda Fouts from Alabama in that regard. Bahl had it called on her several times earlier in the season. She’s worked on it and it’s much less conspicuous now. Js1 is right though. Not going to get called consistently. Just like the rest of the top pitchers across the sport that employ similar mechanics. 

  5. Those might be pretty realistic expectations Js1.  I’ve followed you guys pretty closely while trying not to OU up this thread. You seem to have righted the ship after the early struggles. We have played well but saying the level of competition has been light would be putting it mildly. This weekend and the closing series against the Cowgirls will tell us much more about this OU team than anything the last 6 weeks. I’m ready to watch the first pitch fly tonight. Really glad all 3 games are being televised on LHN.

    Don't think you're going to get to turn this thread into your OU softball dick suck fest! 😉

    Gonna be a fun one in Austin when the Sooners visit, no doubt. 

    Oh don’t worry about that. I know what board we’re on, lol. 🤣 
     

    UT, OU and OSU should all be damn good this year. I’ll be disappointed if all three don’t make it to OKC. Going to be a hell of a ride this year.

  7. Sooners at #1, Cowgirls at #3 and the Longhorns at #9. The top of the conference is so damn strong. It’s going to be fun watching the three teams battle all season long. You’re right Js, let’s fucking go! Cannot wait for the season to start! I’d missed that Miranda transferred to OSU until I read that article with the full Top 25 rankings. Wow!

    How can anyone argue "conference champions" and "best teams" are one and the same? That is straight up malarky. It is entirely possible, if not likely, that one of the best teams in the country does not win a conference championship if in a conference with other top teams. The second fastest man on a relay team may be faster than the top man on another. 

    Put another way:

    Player One wins tournament on Augusta.

    Player Two wins tournament on St. Andrews.

    Player Three wins tournament on Winged Foot. 

    I win tournament at Port Aransas Putt-n-Booze

     

    Do you send us four to Pebble Beach for the final showdown or do you consider that the guy that came in second on St. Andrews may be better than me?

    If the committee is to select the four best teams, then conference championships are but just one data point.

    How does one get an invitation to said Port Aransas Putt-n-Booze?  Asking for myself!

    The drama! These rankings won’t make a fuck a month from now. Things work themselves out like they always do.

    This right here.  These serve the purpose of getting people talking and arguing.  I'm fine with OU being ranked where they are.  Hell, as far as I'm concerned any team that had been shut out and was down 10 at the half to the mighty fighting Jayhawks of feared Kansas has no business being in the top 10 at all.  But with Wake and Domer behind us 8 seems about right.  Chaos is coming.  I don't think we win out.  I think the B1G 10 is going to be a merry go round of who beats whom.  Oregon is going to lose at least one more.  I don't think Bammer beats UGA but it wouldn't surprise me.  The month of November is going to be a really fun month for fans of the sport in general.  Let the chaos rain!
