2022 Texas Softball - Locked and Loaded

This will be the second consecutive WCWS for Texas they have to face OU in the 1-0 game. We beat ASU, lost to OU, flipped down and beat UF and then got knocked out by Tennessee.  

Texas is also 5-1 in opening WCWS games. Pretty good 

Mike now 2-6 versus the PAC 12 in the WCWS. Finally brought an offense to OKC

This may be true if limited to UT, but Monica Abbott and even Alo this year are 4x All-Americans. I'm guessing there are several others.

Yeah that’s Texas only. And both well deserved. JJ is the model of consistency and got better every year, adding power

Hopefully OU gets this out of their system 

The consistency of this team is its most remarkable feature. OU's average score vs ranked opponents this year is 6.79 to 2.0 (over 14 games). They're 12-2 in those games with five run rules. Opponents have scored more than 2 runs only four times (3, 4-loss, 4-loss, 8), and the Sooners have scored less than 5 runs only four times (2-loss, 3-loss, 3, 4).

One of the cool things about OU's 2021 national championship was that they came back and beat each of the four teams that beat them (GA-run rule, Ok St-run rule, James Madison, and FSU).

I doubt she ends up there 

From what I can tell, Deifel's last extension was back in 2018 through 2023. A $275 K base salary a year. 

Arkansas better up the base salary with a long-term extension because that's not going to get the job done.

That definitely hit her but come on. Leaning over the plate with the strap hanging down. 

It wasn't even that far off the plate.  

 

That’s like having your Jersey so loose that it puckers out….should be disallowed.

Kenny got a big raise from aggy. Alameda too, allegedly. Arky won’t let her go to aggy - Cal, maybe. But not an SEC rival

It's a tough position for Arkansas if aggy is after Deifel. 

Giving a coach a massive contract with no WCWS appearances is a gamble. Not sure they have much choice though because they won't do any better than Deifel. 

Arkansas seems like a true program on the rise. Process is more important than results. Deifel's best days are ahead of her. This is when you want to get her.

Does the NCAA still drug test during championship tournaments  ?      Of course, if prescribed adderall is legal.

Exactly !

Hunter Yurachek is a good AD.     The fan attendance was indicative of their support.   He doesn't want to let that go.

Also,  Deifel and her husband have young children.   Family has to be considered.     But admittedly,  with say a 500K plus salary and aggy facilities/recruiting base she may have to pause to give thought.

Pretty much two pitches defined that whole game.  I know y’all are outsies but it feels good to see the conf go 3-0 and all those SEC bitches outside of Florida watching at home.  
 

Also have an irrational hate of Zona for booting us in 2016 CWS

Also the Big 12 going 3-0 is great.

Texas/OU - awesome

OK State/UF - intriguing 

NW/UCLA - interesting to see if UCLA has any fight left

Oregon State/Arizona - a Pac 12 team is headed home
