Pickering and Parker proved Freshman can play elite ball too. They both knock the cover off the ball. Big, Strong, and fast.

By Mike White’s logic, the Red River Rivalry in Dallas is always a home game for the Longhorns…

The tickets are sold to the public at large. There’s a lot of Longhorn fans in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. They’re all welcome to buy tickets and show up.

Yeah, they were singing a different song when they won during the season. Did Texas suddenly become younger or is that just talk? I mean, OU had two frosh knocking the cover off the ball.

Texas fans have the same opportunity to purchase tickets to support their team. If they don’t come then that is on the fans and not because of the location of where the game is being played. My wife and I got the opportunity to watch OU play Texas A&M in the semis of the baseball World Series a couple of years ago in Omaha and man was that ball park packed with both teams fans. My point is, you have the opportunity to fill the seats with as many fans as those willing to travel. If anything, Mike should be blaming the lack of Texas fans that were not willing to make the trip to fill the seats.

The veterans who won this game won it as Freshmen. It’s a mentality.

There's homefield advantage (Sooners play in Norman, NOT OKC) and there's the host city. In 1989,the NCAA along with the chair of Women's softball reached an agreement to have OKC as the host city for WCWS,,a move that generated alot of dollars but also fan interest from around the country. A city that's geographically situated perfectly, and in the past 35 years ,it has gotten some of the best reviews for hosting a national tournament championship. The Floridas,the Alabamas,,,Michigans,FSU, definitely the UCLAs and Arizona schools have thrived playing here. To suggest that Oklahoma has " an advantage "?,,a "homefield advantage? Is so grade school mentality sore loser stuff. It took OU 10 years before they won their 1st national title,"10 years,,while Ucla/Ariz were just piling up trophy after trophy,,collectively 16 times!!! Where's the "Oklahoma homefield advantage???? Nobody was crying during the Bruins/Wildcats domination!! Finally,,the players,the practice,the effort all started paying off for the Sooners,,the Gators won a back-to -back pair,,FSU,Alabama won before the freight train rolled thru winning 8 and a 4peat!!! Excellent coaching,excellent players playing at a level unheard of it seems,,,,no cheating,no sign stealing,just a bunch of girls who are so freakin awesome at playing softball,,,so before you start whining and crying about unfair advantages,,figure out how one of THE best pitching staffs gave up 16 runs in 2 games. In 22 appearances,,26 seasons,Horns have 0 National Championships in 8 WCWS,,,THATS,why you're whining and crying

I believe there is an advantage just look at the people in the stands. It's 90% crimson but it would be like that anywhere there was a softball stadium like this. Sure, they could move it to a neutral site, but it wouldn't be a softball stadium and the atmosphere would be horrible. Just like it is at the B12 BB tournament. 40K seats with 5K people there. In order to take away the "home field" advantage pitch the ball better, hit the ball better, catch the ball better, run the bases better, coach better take the locals out of the game. I'm not 100% sure but I think everyone has the opportunity to purchase tickets.

Hey Mike you look 👀 up and down there lineup and they just hit rockets 🚀 and missiles 😂😂😂😂

I bet this was Coach White’s last game at Texas. Surely the Texas athletic director can hear by coaches continuing negative comments about the venue is just BAD for Texas Softball. Adios coach

Future is bright and y’all have grit but complain about OU’s fan base scarring you guys? Lol

By Mike the Whiners “logic” Nebraska has won all those titles because their WS is always played in Omaha……wait what? Sad example for a D1 coach to be setting……… OU was the real #1 team all year…..

Excuses after Excuses

Texas had the most errors in the Big 12 and was at the bottom in fielding percentage for a good part of season. The Mia Scott baserunning error was an example also -- Mike White does not teach fundamentals.

Dumb decision to take morgan out because she allowed a runner on first!

The Venue has to be somewhere, Personally, I think it's great being centralized. (Not to mention the growth of the sport it's created). Are the Men's coaches complaining about Omaha?

Texas has had more opportunities to play at Devon Park than anyone in the 2024 WCWS other than OU, so there's that. Also, the freshman was more poised and well-spoken than her coach. Respect. Lastly, OU made adjustments after losing to Texas in the regular season. Texas did not. OU hitters knew what was coming and sat on those pitches. OU pitching made adjustments that should land Rocha in the HOF. This Texas loss is on the coach.

The players are classy, the coach... not so much! OU doesn't pick the All Americans so what's his point?

So who were the 23 & 24 year Olds on the team?

I think Mike White was foreseeing getting swept with his statement about OU having a big advantage with the World Series being in OKC. 😂😂. Creating the excuse before he actually lost.

See how silly it is?

As an OU fan and someone who lives 15 miles from the venue, does OU have an advantage playing in OKC? Yes, of course. Much easier to make the 30 minute trek downtown that the 7 hour drive from Austin to OKC. So even if Texas fans can buy 50% of the seats, they won't use up that allocation. But is it unfair? No it is not. Not when OK taxpayers ponied up the big bucks for that stadium even before OU softball was good enough to be on the radar -nobody else in the country has a venue of that caliber. Not when at some point OU's softball resources were so limited that Patty almost quit due to her low pay in the early 2000s. Mike should focus on his girls' competitive spirit, complaining about the location unfairness is just being defeatist.

OKC put the money where its mouth is and built a 15,000-seat stadium for softball where no other city wanted to. If everyone did that, the site of the WCWS would rotate every year rather than being in OKC every year. It is not OKC's fault that Texas was woefully unprepared against Oklahoma and made mistakes that cost them a championship. It is not OKC's fault that Texas fans said Oklahoma cannot get it done against Texas when it matters most, notwithstanding, the last time Oklahoma faced Texas in this same series was two years ago, and got blown out in both games for OU to win their second straight championship and now this series where Oklahoma accomplished their four-peat. Texas ultimately deserves that indictment. Oklahoma does not need it; they have shown up and got it done twice now, against Texas and twice against Florida State.

His team was one of the best but he has to make himself look like a fool by making excuses, oh and also sticking his index and pinky fingers in the air after every interview and saying in his Aussie accent, "hook em" barf...that must be in his contract 🤣

Why in the hell is the environment overwhelming. When I played we thrived on that. Unbelievable.?

If the fans are the only reason OU wins then why hasn’t NU baseball won 4 in a row?

White blames anything. It's the location. OU has all stars but at Texas we play as a team. His players are more responsible and respectful than him. Some should give Patty a call this off-season.

Ok, first of all I understand that a press conference is about questions and answers. Alot of the questions so far for the Texas team is based on the Oklahoma team and not the Texas team in my opinion. Talking about the gap between Oklahoma women's dominance and not focusing on Texas and their ability on make it to the championship. Sure Texas is young but please direct the questions on Texas not Oklahoma. Every reporter asked the same question and it is all related to Oklahoma and their dominance not one question focused on Texas and their ability to get there. Sounds to me that the reporters are biased

Why in the hell is the environment coming up so much. THRIVE ON THAT don’t complain about 😂. 😅😊

Both teams are great. OU dynasty does not go without the well-deserved accolades. Texas was the #1 bc they worked hard to be the #1. OU overcome a lot of adversity this year to be the #2. Coach White is correct Texas lead the country with the highest team batting average. They also broke a lot of records. The commentators of the games let OUs amazing success overshadow other great teams successes. & as a coach he’s disappointed they did not get the recognition they also deserved and constantly being compared to OU. OU is definitely the standard but each team is unique, and deserves their OWN spotlight. It is somewhat disrespectful bc they can all shine bright without having to live up to Oklahoma. I think that’s where their responses and Coach White are coming from. Outsiders comparison.
