OU fan here and I have tremendous respect for this team . Very good, fearless and the pitcher is unbelievable. Keep your heads high because y'all were spectacular!
Sooner fan here. Never heard this coach talk before but he is a class act. And what can you say about their Freshman pitcher throwing 283 pitches in a 24 hr period. Incredible!
AND pitch a shutout in her first WS appearance. Kid is fired up and showed no timidity all tournament. Amazing poise and ball control. Hats of to both teams for an epic unforgettable battle💪💪
I had the honor of knowing Coach Walton when he was at Wichita State. My Daughter went all his camps and then Coach invited her to take private hitting lessons with him. He was so open in sharing his knowledge and mentoring both of us. He is a special, special coach and person. Even though I am a lifelong Sooner; I still follow all that Coach Walton and the Gators get done. Congrats Coach and all the Gators!!
I’m happy to see everyone giving these girls props, I’m a sooner fan but I think I’ll be rooting for the gators next year too! I’m hoping for another rematch because y’all are amazing.
OU fan here too! What a group of players! I did not know much about you coach but when I saw the OSU coach get teared up talking about you and your relationship, I knew the kind of person you must be! It shows in the way your players played! It is tough to get so close but thank you for a great series!
OU fan here crying when Skylar was talking about being a Florida Gator. These girls were tough. They played so well. Mad respect for coach Walton too. I remember years ago coach benched 3 starters before a big game for breaking team rules. (I forget the details, but it was with the Fagen sisters and one other person.) mad respect. They played their heart out to get to the WCWS and make it this far. I’m glad Jocelyn Erickson found a home with the Gators. I thought she was special and was sad to her leave OU. ❤😊
You girls played the best softball game I’ve seen in a long time. I know it hurts, but hold your heads up! These teams will see a lot of each other in the years ahead.
OU fan and Florida gets all my respect! That is a really good team. Your coach is also a class act. Looking forward to building more rivalries in the SEC.
Big time OU fan here but I believe in giving credit where it's due. Listening to Mr Walton, what a class act. He's the epitome of the class act. That freshman pitcher is not from this planet, her pitch count and the fact she stymied every OU bat that stepped to the plate, over and over and over. There are damn few pitchers (less than 4) to stymie OUr bats for an entire game and surely not a freshman. I actually feel sorry for us and the rest of the softball world when we all step to the plate and that freshman is on the mound. A living, fire breathing monster on the mound. Look out softball world, this young lady is gonna give us all pure hell. Keep ya head up young lady, your name will go down in the history books. At 73 I probably won't be around to see it, records yes, history no, so when it happens remember this old man told ya so😍😍😍
It was a heck of a game Boomer a Sooners, I Tip my hat to Florida Gators Softball Team you'll challenge us throughout this whole game game. We will definitely see you all in the SEC
When these 2 teams get together you're on the edge of your seat. It's a dog fight almost every time. Some of the most memorable games of all time. Go sooners
Gator nation is very proud of these gator girls, they made us great admirers of their strenght and courage. SEC, Beware of next years gators. Good luck in life,Sky
Longhorn nation here !! Congrats Florida !! You have an amazing team. Your team is all class. I was rooting for ya'll to beat Oklahoma. Cheers from Texas !!
By the way I wanted to say that I was at several games this year and all of the Florida fans that I ran into had nothing but class... Unlike the Texas fans..
OU fan here..... I will always hate and disrespect your football team every chance I get.... but I fell in love with your softball team the past several days. You all have nothing to hang your heads about. How many can even come close to taking out OU in the Series? Really classy bunch of girls, and the coach as well. See you all in the SEC!
Classy. Just wish they’d invited Jocelyn to join them. She deserved that after everything she’s done for the team this year. Beautiful watching her comforting Keagan and the others after. Regardless, much respect for this team. ❤
6:30, appreciate her commitment to her team and school but hard to call your program the greatest when you lost to a team who is 2 wins away from a 4 peat.
Ou fan here and ive always liked the Florida coach not because he's an ou alum but because he's a great coach and person you guys are a great team and I bet y'all will want revenge next year when ou joins the sec boomer sooner
Being honest. I live in Tulsa, so you know, my biases already. I admit I didn't think your team was that good until I saw you play. I followed your record. You played a hell of a game. Have no doubt you will be back to the playoffs in the near future. The game could have just as easily gone your way. Roth rock is a hell of a pitcher and just a freshman SMH. I would be happy to sit down with Skyler and discuss the greatest softball program in America right now. lol.
I love that our OU girls and our coach are confident enough as a team and individually to give credit and compliments to other teams. They are strong in who they are and aren’t afraid to admit mistakes or weaknesses. Coach Walton doesn’t seem to be able to do that. One of many examples…when Jenni C. asks him about Jayda and our (Oklahoma)line up he says “ Yep, they are similar to us.” Don’t always make it about yourself. Just step up and credit other great players and teams Tim Walton. It would show you are a man/coach of character. You would gain some respect. Geez! You have a good team but it doesn’t take away from you or your team to admit when others are good ( or better) !
Just curious, does OU have home field every softball championship? Interesting. OU players kept saying they felt God when they were playing, which I don't doubt. That being said maybe they were just feeling that home cooking...
Amazing run this year, Coach Walton! So proud of this team! Both teams were extremely impressive and fought to the end. Question though, since when does a player slam their bat and look liked a caged animal being loosed just for getting walked? What an idiotic reaction, sorry.
OU fan, I thought Florida played great, I actually thought they were going to win and was happy for their team. Great game and a Great Season... See you next year in the Sec. As Always BOOMER!
@@lesterakalezer9891 im Texas fan by the way but you’re a respectable OU it’s just rest of yalls fanbase doesn’t know how to act normal human and they act delusional, they need to take lessons from you and be more respectful and more humble
