Answer: No.

It's only about football there. (See basketball attendence)

The problem at OU is they don't have any Mark Redmans, or Minors or Jack Armstrongs, or Bucky Buckles'. No Bob Shirleys, nor any Mickey Hatchers...basically the question is WHY can't the Sooners get talent in Soonerville? Sunny Boy CANNOT recruit, plain and simple. All the successful BIG 12 baseball teams and teams that rank high nationally every year continue to bring pitching to their campuses. They can attract players that play great defense, hit well, and know what to do on the field. Golloway can coach and does know baseball, but as far as relating to the players and recruits, he just plain...strikes out.

A blog on college baseball? Are you really that bored? Does anybody other than the mommys and daddys of the players care about college baseball??? College baseball is like the minors for the minors. If you're any good, you'll go pro out of high school (that's got nothing to do with "lives" or "limbs" - but nice try). If you're so-so, you'll be told by scouts to go to college for a few years so they can watch you "develop." I know. Been there, done that.

Seriously, though... Of all the things in the world of sports to write about, even locally, you choose to not only blog about college baseball, but also to rag on OU. You don't look good in green, Picker.

Here's a thought. Instead of ragging on OU for their baseball team (lame), why don't you share your thoughts on the Sonics shennanigans? Why not make fun of Starbucks-land, Starbucks' owner, Seattle media, Caly Bennet, or ANYTHING else?

Jay:

Just out of curiosity, what did you and or the others at the TW write about Sonny when he was at ORU?

Was it the usual unctous accolades?

I doubt that it was the sanctified sarcasm reserved for OU!

OU baseball has been sacrificed to free up resources for the gymnastics team. Seems like a fair trade. Of equal interest to any casual observer.

I think the Picker knows a thing or two about college baseball; I believe he used to play. LOL @ Mathew. I also agree with everything the Picker said on this one; there's a reason few take college baseball seriously and that it gets less time on tv than professional bowling.

TAB, as you know, baseball used to be a great college sport, springtime in the bleachers, sun and skin, new grass on the field.

The metal bats have scared the great young pitchers right to the pros.

Note how the high school players dominate the draft.

Games last four hours. If you're lucky.

The questions remains, what happened to OU?

World Picker:

If you weren't such a bigotted OU basher (or is it just an "obsession" with you) you would have mentioned that OU won their 8th NCAA Gymnastics Championship.

But it was a win and you dwell on the losses.

I see you were unable go two blogs without mentioning OU-you lose the bet, chump. Just like all those horse racing bets you lose.

I think the picker is more than qualified to talk college baseball, specifically OU cbaseball. I will only add that there ia a recent trend on highly successful mlb pitchers that played college baseball, and most of them need only spend a breif time in the minors. As far as what's wrong with OU, nothing but parity. was it two years ago they gave a great Rice team all they wanted in the super regional. Texas and Nebraska are the current cream of the big 12 and they aren't as consistent as they would like to be.
