NCAA Softball: WCWS - Texas-OU postgame 2 

Pickering and Parker proved Freshman can play elite ball too. They both knock the cover off the ball. Big, Strong, and fast.

Coach thank you, the softball hall of fame is in Oklahoma City for a reason, because Oklahoma was playing softball and promoting softball years and years before anyone else had a team. Just remember that.

By Mike White’s logic, the Red River Rivalry in Dallas is always a home game for the Longhorns…

Mike White outcoached once again . These losses are on him!

The tickets are sold to the public at large. There’s a lot of Longhorn fans in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. They’re all welcome to buy tickets and show up.

He is doing his team a disgrace by giving excuses

OU for the 5-peat!! The best players are going to line up to transfer to OU to play for Patty and the best chance to be a champion...

Texas fans have the same opportunity to purchase tickets to support their team. If they don’t come then that is on the fans and not because of the location of where the game is being played. My wife and I got the opportunity to watch OU play Texas A&M in the semis of the baseball World Series a couple of years ago in Omaha and man was that ball park packed with both teams fans. My point is, you have the opportunity to fill the seats with as many fans as those willing to travel. If anything, Mike should be blaming the lack of Texas fans that were not willing to make the trip to fill the seats.

The veterans who won this game won it as Freshmen. It’s a mentality.

OU plays in a Texas Environment in the Cotton Bowl every year.

Texas made some MAJOR errors & gave up after the 4th inning, you could tell the whole teams energy changed.

There's homefield advantage (Sooners play in Norman, NOT OKC) and there's the host city. In 1989,the NCAA along with the chair of Women's softball reached an agreement to have OKC as the host city for WCWS,,a move that generated alot of dollars but also fan interest from around the country. A city that's geographically situated perfectly, and in the past 35 years ,it has gotten some of the best reviews for hosting a national tournament championship. The Floridas,the Alabamas,,,Michigans,FSU, definitely the UCLAs and Arizona schools have thrived playing here. To suggest that Oklahoma has " an advantage "?,,a "homefield advantage? Is so grade school mentality sore loser stuff. It took OU 10 years before they won their 1st national title,"10 years,,while Ucla/Ariz were just piling up trophy after trophy,,collectively 16 times!!! Where's the "Oklahoma homefield advantage???? Nobody was crying during the Bruins/Wildcats domination!! Finally,,the players,the practice,the effort all started paying off for the Sooners,,the Gators won a back-to -back pair,,FSU,Alabama won before the freight train rolled thru winning 8 and a 4peat!!! Excellent coaching,excellent players playing at a level unheard of it seems,,,,no cheating,no sign stealing,just a bunch of girls who are so freakin awesome at playing softball,,,so before you start whining and crying about unfair advantages,,figure out how one of THE best pitching staffs gave up 16 runs in 2 games. In 22 appearances,,26 seasons,Horns have 0 National Championships in 8 WCWS,,,THATS,why you're whining and crying

What's will be remembered about this team....that they really was the number 2 seed and OU was the number 1 seed

Excuses after Excuses

If they can’t play in “hostile” environments why are you in sports?

By Mike the Whiners “logic” Nebraska has won all those titles because their WS is always played in Omaha……wait what? Sad example for a D1 coach to be setting……… OU was the real #1 team all year…..

Coach White is literally saying, multiple times, that the OU fans are why the Sooners win, he's teaching his team to make excuses

The Venue has to be somewhere, Personally, I think it's great being centralized. (Not to mention the growth of the sport it's created). Are the Men's coaches complaining about Omaha?

I think Mike White was foreseeing getting swept with his statement about OU having a big advantage with the World Series being in OKC. 😂😂. Creating the excuse before he actually lost.

I bet this was Coach White’s last game at Texas. Surely the Texas athletic director can hear by coaches continuing negative comments about the venue is just BAD for Texas Softball. Adios coach

Future is bright and y’all have grit but complain about OU’s fan base scarring you guys? Lol

Texas has had more opportunities to play at Devon Park than anyone in the 2024 WCWS other than OU, so there's that. Also, the freshman was more poised and well-spoken than her coach. Respect. Lastly, OU made adjustments after losing to Texas in the regular season. Texas did not. OU hitters knew what was coming and sat on those pitches. OU pitching made adjustments that should land Rocha in the HOF. This Texas loss is on the coach.

Hey Mike you look 👀 up and down there lineup and they just hit rockets 🚀 and missiles 😂😂😂😂

Mike White needs to shut up bout the venue. Oklahoma put alot of money in their wcws programs, and Texas will only spend money on their football team. There i said it.

Texas had the most errors in the Big 12 and was at the bottom in fielding percentage for a good part of season. The Mia Scott baserunning error was an example also -- Mike White does not teach fundamentals.

White blames anything. It's the location. OU has all stars but at Texas we play as a team. His players are more responsible and respectful than him. Some should give Patty a call this off-season.

As an OU fan and someone who lives 15 miles from the venue, does OU have an advantage playing in OKC? Yes, of course. Much easier to make the 30 minute trek downtown that the 7 hour drive from Austin to OKC. So even if Texas fans can buy 50% of the seats, they won't use up that allocation. But is it unfair? No it is not. Not when OK taxpayers ponied up the big bucks for that stadium even before OU softball was good enough to be on the radar -nobody else in the country has a venue of that caliber. Not when at some point OU's softball resources were so limited that Patty almost quit due to her low pay in the early 2000s. Mike should focus on his girls' competitive spirit, complaining about the location unfairness is just being defeatist.

At this point the Longhorns softball program is the Washington Generals to the Sooners' Globetrotters

Dumb decision to take morgan out because she allowed a runner on first!

The players are classy, the coach... not so much! OU doesn't pick the All Americans so what's his point?

Somebody get that coach a Manpon

You knew it was going to be bad for Texas when Mike White was making excuses before the game. Natty Patty was too much for him

Dude always blames everything and everyone but himself 😂 Also, it doesn’t matter where we play, you were still going to take the L.

If he focused of their mental ability to overcome instead of giving them a crutch, they would be complete.

How come no one whined about home field advantage when OU was gettting smoked by UCLA or when they couldn’t even get to the WCWS?

And this is the difference between Gasso & White.

when you are out coached......... start making excuses....

Congratulations, Longhorns. Mike White's opening statement was his best. Top class speech. I could not have said it better.

So who were the 23 & 24 year Olds on the team?

Their “Excuses” is exactly what Bv has challenged the entire university to do… show up and be loud!

Why in the hell is the environment overwhelming. When I played we thrived on that. Unbelievable.?

I’ve been taught by the lord. Do not say anything if you have nothing good to say.

The players were much classier than the coach.

Coach White to team: Girls u are the best players on the best team but unfortunately EVERYONE knows that even if that's true - that can't beat FANS and u'll always lose to FANS

Nice job...very gracious in your loss....//

If the fans are the only reason OU wins then why hasn’t NU baseball won 4 in a row?

As an Oklahoma born and raised, it drives me nuts when people says this coach is rude.. he's one of the nicest people there is and he's very respectful.. so only an idiot would criticize the man

Why would Mike White allow outside noise to charge the outcome of a game. He might as well tell his team that they are not good enough.

This dud will say anything to keep the regents in Texas satisfied I guess, what a loosing mentality. I'd fire him for making the same lame excuse every year. His team was one of the best but he has to make himself look like a fool by making excuses, oh and also sticking his index and pinky fingers in the air after every interview and saying in his Aussie accent, "hook em" barf...that must be in his contract 🤣

Coach white- OU had home field advantage. OU has more All Americans. The strike zone was “iffy” 🤨 The environment was hostile. Texas had 1k fans to OU’s 12k Also Coach White: NOT MAKING ANY EXCUSES AT ALL!! 🥴

Everyone wants to play with a winner.

The Austin American Statesman was talking shit a few days ago. 😂 Poor girls couldn’t admit the gap is the coaching!

Why am I just now finding out this guy is from New Zealand?

Yall need a new coach this one is a baby pointing fingers. Yall come play for gasso she doesn't whine like a baby when she loses.

Texas pitchers threw the same pitches no matter who’s pitching.

Whaa, Whaa I can't recruit like Patty and our fans don't show up, Whaa.

More excuses from Mike Whine

He commented on one video, hostile environment, they beat us 2 out of 3 by 2:runs, at there home,,but we outscored them 7 to 5, it will be good next year, but our lineup ou is insane from 1 to 9 , sanders batting 9 th, r u serious, her obp is like 450, and she hits HR, 9 th batter ,that's insane

Run the numbers on the games played against elite teams (7 or 8) and the numbers will show who is the number one team and who won the championship. The numbers don't lie. Oklahoma is number one until another team wins and is the champion on the final game in WCWS. The fans don't make the team hit the ball with precision and make pitchers become elite. All the "I's" in the team have a role or responsibility to become the best they can be. It is called personal accountability. Oklahoma has elite hitters (elite swing) and many of the other teams might have 2 or 3. Something needs to change on all the other programs as far as teaching the elite swing. Give me a call or get with Teacherman hitting on you tube. Snap it baby! No excuses. Get with the best to teach all to become the best and beat the rest.

Mike's a nice person and I love all the Texas girls but I still have to root for my Sooners.. #BOOMERSOONER 🆗 🐴 🥎

Texas ran into a buzzsaw. Sooners were extremely motivated for the 4peat. I think Texas will be pre-season number 1 next season. I look forward to some good battles in the SEC with OU and Texas joining.

Young team? Freshmen and sophomores? OU’s freshmen and sophomores won championships. Big difference.

How many conference championships has the OU football team won AT Jerry world?

Was this the premise for Ted Lasso?

Cry mike cry texas fans get a life 😂 and actually win a championship before talking 😂🤣

He wouldn’t complain if it was in state of texas

I think Mike White need to retire Mike White quit using the excuse about home advantage your team is Young and you not giving credit where credit is due you so jealous of Oklahoma Sooners you blame it on the crowd in the home advantage that's not fair to your players and it's not fair to Oklahoma no matter where Oklahoma plays you cannot beat them quit crying

Oklahoma keeps winning as a TEAM no 1 player wins the games!!

Seems like they accepted the loss smh

For people to hate the 4 peatedi remember people not liking UCLA softball arizona washington bk in the day

you guys do know how to quieten the crowd right

I remember when I played we really enjoyed playing against great teams in hostile environments as he called it. Of course we thrived on being giant killers. Obviously he doesn’t look at it that way. But Indians used to measure their greatness by how powerful their enemies were, obviously he doesn’t understand that either. If he starts he’ll start winning more. Texas has never won a championship, so now they move to the SEC to start trying to win one.?

Oklahoma just one 4 championships in a row, did you really expect to beat this bunch.?

It’s 11:35 and Mike white still suxxxxxx!

There you go again, aren’t you tired of making excuses, it’s time for you to start stepping, just admit ityou can’t even compete with coach Gasso

I notice the accent where is Mike white from

Hate to say it Mike White but your program will never be #1 again, to many excuses..

Where is Sophia Simpson?

Now you know how the OU football team feels playing every rivalry game in Texas, so coming to OU to play softball evens it out. Excuses are like A-holes….

Ok, first of all I understand that a press conference is about questions and answers. Alot of the questions so far for the Texas team is based on the Oklahoma team and not the Texas team in my opinion. Talking about the gap between Oklahoma women's dominance and not focusing on Texas and their ability on make it to the championship. Sure Texas is young but please direct the questions on Texas not Oklahoma. Every reporter asked the same question and it is all related to Oklahoma and their dominance not one question focused on Texas and their ability to get there. Sounds to me that the reporters are biased

Hostile environment in college softball? Try Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan!

Talking about fans instead of the players lol dude lives off that excuse lol fans

White is really disrespecting his team, he needs to be disciplined.

Cry baby, Cry baby Texas longhorns. The sooner had to fight to get back to Women Softball Championship. 1 Texas lost to 2 sooners that beat Them two times in championships game.

The talk about coach White is more deserved than not, but you have to wonder why he is the only D1 coach who flashes his school sign (Hook-em!) after then end of every interview. To me it is his way of saying that he has a weak side, and need you to like him more than he can produce.

Why in the hell is the environment coming up so much. THRIVE ON THAT don’t complain about 😂. 😅😊

Quite whining an coach

KP 7

Players play fans watch do your job and you would win instead yall got scared and now yall making excuses. Boomer sooner, trash shorthorns!

Those softball schools who have switched from slapping a softball to hitting HOME RUNS, line drives playing sound defense great pitching vs slapping have scored more runs vs those a one run inning mindset. So if a team wants a part of the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HIT THE BALL HARD.... BOOMER SOONER!!! AWESOME YEAR!! CONGRATS!

This character thinks that All-Americans are just handed that title for no reason As if they didn't outwork everyone else in their position to earn it So if his team had only ONE all-american that speaks volumes against his coaching 😉

Both teams are great. OU dynasty does not go without the well-deserved accolades. Texas was the #1 bc they worked hard to be the #1. OU overcome a lot of adversity this year to be the #2. Coach White is correct Texas lead the country with the highest team batting average. They also broke a lot of records. The commentators of the games let OUs amazing success overshadow other great teams successes. & as a coach he’s disappointed they did not get the recognition they also deserved and constantly being compared to OU. OU is definitely the standard but each team is unique, and deserves their OWN spotlight. It is somewhat disrespectful bc they can all shine bright without having to live up to Oklahoma. I think that’s where their responses and Coach White are coming from. Outsiders comparison.

recorded on a potato

Playing in this environment? Horse crap. Thrive on these types of environments, go to sec and see how you like that.?

This guy is so lame

Oklahoma fans always talking 💩 you guy’s don’t deserve it you’re attitude always just like you always do 🤘🏾

A weight program and pitching talent s/b priorities The SEC will handle these small girls
