There’s only one guarantee in baseball. 99 pct of time it breaks your heart… but that other 1 pct is why we keep doing it year after year… We will be back to OKLAH⭕️MAHA again real soon.
You were my dad, my coach, and my hero. You taught me how to work hard. You raised me to be A Sooner and I know how proud you were of Tyler, Brady and I. I will miss you. I will cary the torch and will continue to strive to make you proud. I love You!

This was the best team I have had the privilege to work with in my time at OU. So many great young men, fantastic leadership, and ultra talented. It was very difficult putting an end to it all today. The future is bright for this program and for everyone in this locker room.

What David Sandlin did today was special. Please 🙏🏼 for he and his family after losing his sister Monday.

This team has a lot of heart and fight. If you can be in Arlington tomorrow at 5:00 P.M. I know they would feed off Y⭕️Ur energy.
After a courageous and hard fought battle I’m sad to say that Ryan lost his fight with cancer this afternoon. He truly was the best twin brother you can ask for. His family and I want to thank everyone for the prayers and support during this time. BOOMER SOONER..
The job J.T. Gasso has done to prepare these hitters is pretty impressive. The game to game and at bat to at bat adjustments they make at the plate is outstanding.
All time selfless moment for Oklahoma Baseball tonight. The ball from the last out of the 1994 National Championship Game was given back to the program by Rick Gutierrez at the Diamond Dinner.

After a 3 year absence today is the return of road pinstripes with a new twist using Nike’s Vapor Elite technology and Sooners on front. 1st pitch in 5 minutes.
Scheduling 56 competitive games is the easy part. Scheduling alone isn’t the key. You gotta beat (15 W’s against the NCAA Field) several of those quality opponents along the way. Our guys did that and got rewarded for it!
Oklahoma getting its name called today is a major credit to
@ryankgaines
and scheduling. Without a strong RPI and non-conference schedule it probably wouldn't have happened.
Lots of 1st tonight.

and the entire event operations staff with the University of Texas Baseball program. We might be rivals on the field but they treat our program in a first class manner every time we visit.

Still remember this like it was yesterday. It was my senior year at OU. Was getting ready for class when the news broke. Crazy that our bedlam ⚾️ game is cancelled today just like it was 25 years ago. Our guys would have worn this on their batting helmets today.

October 1, 2013 at the age of 9. He wanted this Big 12 Championship Ring so bad I gave it to him. Now fast forward a little over 7 years later he and his teammates have an opportunity to win a championship ring of their own. Good luck tomorrow. 🤙🏻🐝
Update: make it 7 steals through two innings for
@OU_Baseball
tonight - pure chaos! John Spikerman has 3 steals already, and the only reason he doesn't have four is because there was already a dude standing in front of him at third base. Cue Eddie Vedder: can't stop a Spikerman.
