Sooners vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff

[bri]

Game 1: Oh, jeez.

Seriously, when you beat someone so badly that they just shrug and agree to call the game early, that's some tasty shenanigans. The wind was blowing out at the Dale tonight, and it showed. Every homer was a no-doubter, and Chuck and Damon were out of things to talk about by the 3rd inning. One more cakewalk tomorrow before sh*t gets real on Thursday...

Well we kicked serious tail, and Texas lost 3-2 to ORU.

Here's to Texas going 0-4 against Oklahoma schools this week!

Yeah, a collective chuckle went up in the control room when Chuck read that score. Normally I loathe ORU (they're basically the aggy of Tulsa), but tonight they're OK.

[colinreturn]

ok, i left the game around the 7th inning. can someone explain why the game ended early? is there an official ncaa/b12 mercy rule of sorts?

thanks.

[Collier11]

yes

[bri]

There's a Big 12 run rule, but it didn't apply to this game. The coaches and higher-ups basically negotiated one on the spot.

[Collier11]

Ou already up 2-0 in the bottom of 1

[Collier11]

make that 4-0

[Collier11]

9-0 after 5

[bri]

Final score: 16-1, good guys.

This series served its purpose; we got to get a lot of guys some real game experience and most of our pitching staff got some work in. Now we see if it pays off over the next three days. Games 1 and 2 of the Texas series start at 6:30 and can be seen on Cox channel 7 in OKC and 3 in Tulsa, as well as on SoonerSports.com All-Access. KREF will have the radio portion of the broadcast covered.

Ill be there saturday, anyone else?

[bri]

Saturday's the one day I won't be there. Well, I won't be at the Dale for any of them, but I'll be back at Memorial Stadium for the first two games. ESPNU's broadcasting game 3, so I actually get a day off.

[Collier11]

well then, you cant say you met me :D

[bri]

GOD DAMMIT.

Heh.
