    Hope Keagan is hitting the corners (and getting the strike calls from the ump) and that the bats come alive.

    Provided the weather is not a factor at either location start the night in OKC, stay a few innings, make the easy drive up to Stillwater for the rest of the baseball game.

    The softball complex is not that far off of I-35 and it about an hour to Stillwater--so very easy to make an appearance at both.

    Maybe if Sticklen asked nicely, Napier would let him borrow the helicopter used for recruiting.

    I don’t think Napier uses a chopper, at least not very often. Kirby uses one quite often, and Saban did occasionally. I really don’t remember Napier ever using one. Mostly a car for in state visits, and a jet for long distance visits.

    Kelly Maxwell threw a 2 hitter with 11 K's and Oklahoma shut out UCLA 1-0. great pitching from both teams, but Maxwell was absolutely great today.

    UCLA batters are also very undisciplined.

    No respite in that Longhorn batting order.

    Difference this time is Keagan has had a day off, we definitely go with her I’d say.

    I hope our coach stresses how important it is to swing at the first pitch if it's right down main street!

    Drives me crazy when a batter let's the first pitch go by when it's right down the middle.

    When you're facing ELITE pitching like we are....you just can't let yourself behind in the count!!!

    It's obviously a mental thing - that good coaching would address.

    Morgan made us look bad the first inning. Hope Keagan in on as well.

    We look lost at the plate again. Not a great start.
