A day to remember for sure
Whine, whine, whine!!!!! Sounds like republican lawmaker, gotta have it all his way!!!!!!!!!!
Hoover is getting too popular! That 1:33 ad that i couldn't skip is redonk
A few things here I will try and be brief. Coach Gasso could have a career in stand up comedy after she finishes at OU if she wants to, she is a very class lady and cares alot about people. My big question is, when is Jayda Coleman going to get her statue? I ask that with a slight snicker but the athletes deserve the recognition themselves. In the very near future, K9 will be the new professor of softball if she isn't already. Hopefully, Sid Sanders has found her bat once again, but if she hasn't, she is still probably the best first baseman in college softball. JMO and I could be wrong, I have to say that, Texas and Oklahoma State will be tough if the Sooners have to play them. I also put Stanfords pitcher, you know the one, on the list, she is their most effective athlete. It looks like if you're going to beat Stanford you have to beat their pitcher. No disrespect to her, I just cannot spell her name. J. T. and company have done well working with the Sooner bats. That will have to continue to beat Stanford. Major props to Duke, they have progressed a long way in a relatively short time period. GO SOONERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coach JT gasso needs a raise!
Cydney sanders is the best first baseman in the country
I am surprised that both Gasso and Hansen talk about pitching from "the mound."
They respond with a vengeance after giving up runs. - Glad for Sanders.
Very excited to see this historic, mighty team, now really beginning to hit their stride. Now rolling, I don't believe anybody will be able to hang with OU.
This entire team and the program is so special ❤
Mike change his tampon yet????
Mike white has always been a whiner. Looks like the drought continues. No chance coming out of the loser bracket!!!!
Hey John, are the videos not available in HD anymore? I thought something was wrong with my tv/iphone
Unfortunately these are recorded and distributed by the NCAA, so we’re only allowed to use what they give us
These ladies are just so much fun to watch. They just have sooo much fun. All these teams are starting to play with this type of play. It's a game, have fun. They do and that makes me happy.
Good stuff, John!
After her pro career is over, I can see Kenzie on the OU coaching staff. She talks like a coach.
I love how well-spoken Kenzie is! I would love to know what she majored in😘
DUKE is 7 years old Wow thats amazing I'm happy for Cyd she got what she needed and wanted
Go Pride!! I played in the drum section years ago. Boomer Sooner!!
No matter where you play if your playing against OU softball 🥎....... Let the score board tell the story. Back to back x3 championship 🏆 looking forward another Sooners Nation
I think the reason why Oklahoma did not win last year was the pitching. You have one guy that was pitching awesome to the last inning then you put in a a new picture when you didn't even have to this guy was pitching awesome last year and when you put in the other pitching in Oklahoma lost the game I was very disappointed and disheartened
🤘 HOOK'EM HORNS BABY 🤘
With all due respect, so tired of the same team winning so much and frankly they have home field advantage Cheers
You still have to win to get where they are. You still have to rise to the occasion and the lady Sooners always does. Anybody having a problem with that can try to beat the Sooners on the field. They welcome all comers.
Why does Mike white complain about playing in oklahoma? OU didn't complain about playing in Texas He's a whin butt!
Does Mike white complain about Oklahoma state playing "home games" each year? Congratulations on a successful season cowgirls.
When has anyone of complained about Oklahoma state's unfair advantage by playing home games?
I love coach gasso so much.
GO DUKE
Let's get the football game out of "nuetral" Texas first then we'll talk softball location
Llevo alrededor de 10 años siguiendo a mis muchachas como yo le digo, y cada vez que las veo jugando me entristece no poder ir a verlas por la distancia, pero cada jugada cada victoria las celebro y en la mayoría de las veces hasta lloro... Y este año se me van 6 jugadoras que le he tomado un cariño grande a cada una, solo les deseo a todas las que se van que tengan una vida exitosa y que el Señor Jesucristo en su debido tiempo conteste las peticiones de su corazón... DIOS LAS BENDIGA GRANDEMENTE...
As good as the Sooner offense is most of time, I'm amazed at how excellent the defense is. The Sooners Defense is better than most an arguably the best.
Patty they are Naders!
Yall stud up! Boomer Sooner!
💕
I tried. I listened to the entirety of 7 out of 8 teams press conferences. But I can’t make it through Texas’. It’s not the players. It’s Mike White. Every other coach appreciates playing in OKC and sees it like baseball in Omaha.
Coach Gasso is pure class and she not only has developed great softball players but has developed young girls into outstanding young women. OU has been blessed beyond measure with Coach Gasso her coaches and these young women game in and game out. As a huge Sooner fan I want to say thank you coaches and players for the excitement you have brought to this sport! 💥Boomer💥
mike white cant help himself he is just a clown....heyy mike you dont like OU playing in okc and cry its not fair for other teams?....than dont let oklahoma get there beat them in regionals or supers....until then shut up bozo
I loved the philosophizing from Brito and Maxwell about what was so difficult for them this season, but I think Hansen had a grasp and articulated well the real reason OU struggled (if you can call it that--they still had the best record in the nation). "Living at number one" was the foundation of the stress they were under. Not just as repeat champs, but as a school who had set unprecedented records and streaks. And, was on their way to a fourth national title; never been achieved in this sport. Add to that the stress of having to shine in a new custom-built-for-them stadium, as well as the targets on their backs aimed at by opposing teams jealous and tired of being in the shadows, and you have a stress bomb waiting to detonate. And, it did. But, once they saw streaks end, once they lost that first series and the rest, especially after the loss to OSU, you could see them exhale and play free in the third game of that series. They had nothing left to lose. The tone of it reminded me of the movie, "The Guardian" where Kutcher's character was determined to break all the records and Costner's character knew nothing really great was going to happen until he did. Then, it became amazing. You could feel it in our team. They were finally practicing in the new stadium, really had nothing left to tie them to the stress, and could play free and fun; which is when they're at their best. Coach Gasso, in the post-game interview after that third game (win over OSU) talked about how free the gals played at practice before that game. It was like a weight had been lifted. And, it had. Yes, there's some stress again now that they're back in the WCWS. And, you have the usual with Texas' Mike White now lamenting that OU has an unfair advantage playing in their home state, among other teams' plaints. But this team loves playing in a hostile environment. It fires them up! So, bring it on! No idea if these ladies will achieve a new streak that will someday be broken, but they're sure going to have a lot of fun trying. And, they deserve the best experience possible. They've earned it--and, then some. BOOMER SOONER!!
Mike White is the only coach using the “OU has a big advantage” as an excuse. All the others that I’ve heard speak on it don’t see it like he does. It’s exactly like baseball being played in Omaha. Grow up Mike.
👆👁👁☝ Well said Alyssa & Kinzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, each coach has been asked about OU having a “huge advantage” playing in OKC. Mike White of Texas seems to be the only coach using it as an excuse before the games even start. Pretty embarrassing for Texas.
Lifted deep to left field kinzie hansen tied the game lose your mind sooner nation!!!!!!!
Dude that was epic! I can hear his voice again just reading this!
His my fav 🤣
If you are not whining , you ain't Mike White!
Really excited to watch OU. Classy and dangerous!
From top to bottom, the Sooners are a class act every time they step on the field or in front of the press. They have the best role model in their coach Patty Gasso. Love them and their faith in Jesus!
A great representation of OU softball. Total class.
No matter where you are from, OU Softball has impacted Women's sports. Keep it pure.
Win or loose...DAMN.....I'm gonna miss these SENIORS....NO!!!! I'm NOT CRYING!!!!!🤧🤧😭😭😭 I don't want it to end. It was bad enough when Jocelyn Alo left... I fell in love with these ladies...Not just them, but look at all the other superstars: Kiki Milloy, Maya Brady, Kalie Harding, but, I'm really going to miss my all-time favorite, TIARE Jennings & Jayda Coleman
Kiki Milloy's younger sister Tia Milloy is one of the top players in the country and has signed with Oklahoma and will be playing for the Sooners next year.
@@dariussuite1605 No way....wow, ok then I'll keep watching them then. lol
Reese we are proud of you and your award.
The coach has a good attitude about where's the game is played. Get all comes down to scoring more runs than your opponent. And where the game is played has no bearing on that.
