As Urbanized said, it's best economically for OKC to have Texas and all of their fans in OKC for a few more days even if a Bedlam matchup would have been a lot of fun.

I didn't watch but that 3 error fiasco that gave Texas the win must have been devastating for OSU fans to watch. I hurt for them hearing the call on the radio this morning. And I'm by far not an OSU fan. A Bedlam Final would have been fantastic!

Texas/Oklahoma, Sat, ABC: 1.25M
UCLA/Florida, Sun, ABC: 1.06M
Arizona/Texas, Sun, ESPN2: 1.03M

https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/skedball-weekly-sports-tv-ratings-5-30-6-5-2022.html These are really good numbers. Same as Espn Sunday Night Baseball Cubs/Cardinals

I truly hope OU recognizes that Texas can beat them. Overconfidence or sloppy play could lead to what arguably would be a historic loss

Texas already beat them once

That was crazy, OU went scorched earth on UCLA that second game

Always Mr. Sunshine.

Always Mr. Sunshine.
Where is that like button!!!!! I love that comment.
To answer dcsooner:
In OU's 3 losses they never looked sloppy or overconfident. Mostly they faced pitchers that had OUs number and made our batters swing at pitches they shouldn't have. We've already faced and dealt with all of Texas's pitchers so we won't face anything unexpected.

OU will be just fine

I doubt that happened because that's not Gasso's style, nor is it usually a successful tactic. I think Game 1 was merely one of those bad games every team is bound to have, and OU has had so few of them this season, they were "due." You could tell by the looks on their faces, they felt a bit off and weren't quite able to click with their game plan. Alo and Jennings were swinging at pitches they'd rarely swing at. Also, keep in mind many of them are suffering from injuries and are pushing through them. But you're right, they looked completely different in Game 2--they looked like they have all season: completely dominant.

I hope everyone is getting a chance to watch because what these ladies are doing is absolutely incredible. Their Game 2 win is probably one of the most impressive athletic displays I've seen in college sports (nothing could stop them) and Jocelyn Alo is probably one of the best athletes in OU history. It's great to see.

As far as most impressive athletic displays in college sports how about that Sooners vs Texas game last season? That was bananas, probably the best come back in the history of college football with insane plays!

I've really enjoyed watching all of the softball games. It's still a shame that they have games playing in the middle of the day, though. Every WCWS game should be an evening game unless it's on the weekend.

The finals games are all after 6. Note that even with the early start times, there was controversy last year with games going late, like 230am or so.

Games weren't ending until after midnight this year. Hard to avoid day games for bracket play, but for finals play, it is much easier.

Jocelyn Alo basically went called shot on a freaking RUN RULE. That’s next-level badassery.

You can't let this season end today ". And some of the talk probably came from Alo and the other seniors.

Imagine being a dude, and playing as dominantly as Alo, but in the MLB, and being on ESPN2 instead of ESPN.

Honest Question. If Oklahoma isn't playing or wasn't very good how many do you think would be there? I know they sale tickets ahead of time before you even know what teams are going to be there but If Ou wasn't playing and it was say two west coast teams do you still think over 12,000 will show up? I say no but I say they still get close to 10,000.

The full 2018 WCWS game 1 between Florida and Washington is on YouTube and it looks well attended. That was before the upper deck so I doubt it'd be a sellout now but I think it'd be well attended regardless.

This event was always very well attended even before OU became so dominant.

There were years the Sooners didn't even make the tournament and there were still big crowds.

The sport has really grown in popularity, which is why the first OU/Texas game was broadcast on ABC, a first.

I was at the Friday session with UCLA/Northwestern and Oregon State/Arizona and we were next to a family that drove all the way from Minnesota to watch. People are incredibly passionate about softball and the popularity will only continue to grow.

before teams are eliminated lots of fan bases are in town and go to the games ..

this is not unlike the Final 4 in mens basketball the SAT games are a hard ticket the monday championship game is a pretty easy ticket .

Coverage of the Women’s College World Series averaged 941,000 viewers through Monday, down 14% from last year’s record-high (1.09M). Monday’s primetime Texas-Oklahoma State games rank as the most-watched of the tournament thus far with 1.30 and 1.26 million viewers on ESPN, both down from a solo Florida State-Alabama game last year (1.63M*).
In the afternoon, Oklahoma-UCLA drew 703,000 and 1.04 million viewers — both trailing last year’s solo Oklahoma-James Madison game (1.31M*).

Shifting to the weekend, ABC drew a 0.7 rating and 1.25 million for Texas-Oklahoma on Saturday and a 0.7 and 1.06 million for UCLA-Florida on Sunday. On the same weekend last year, three games topped the 1.3 million mark, including James Madison-Oklahoma at 1.56 million.* Six games have topped the million viewer mark thus far, but that is actually one fewer than last year.

College Softball World Series:

Texas/Oklahoma: 1.4M

College softball is just a great spectator sport.

It plays much faster than baseball and there is plenty of action.

The popularity of baseball on all levels is declining in the U.S., while softball is rising.

Baseball would do well to take notice and speed up their games.

Baseball is so boring especially when there is a no hitter and 9 long innings

Bring back the ROIDS!!!! Haha, just kidding

You just don't get baseball. It's not a high action sport. It's chess on grass. If they keep changing the rules to please the people that want action and scoring they will completely destroy the game.

I couldn't agree with this more. Softball is so much better than baseball. I wish there were a professional league for ladies to go to after college. Can you imagine an National Softball League OKC superteam with Gi, Alo, and other OU greats. .. OMG.

Congratulations OU Sooners!! Back-to-Back!

Boomer!! Sooner!!

NCAA/ESPN needs a much better championship ceremony and all of the Championship games need to be on ABC.

I’m not sure how much it’ll ruin the game from a popularity standpoint but for those that love baseball for the pitching battles, hitting strategies, statistics, etc. it’ll be a critical hit. My oversimplified view is that casuals of any sport love scoring since it’s the easiest thing to follow that indicates how a team is doing while also giving the basic impression that action is happening, so that alone I think will help make it attractive to people that don’t care about the fundamentals of baseball. I’m not saying that’s what I think should happen but I think if what the MLB cares about is popularity and numbers then evolving the game to be faster paced is probably going to be what makes the game more appealing.

Do we have any available data on where the teams and their fans stay when in town? I saw some posts that many of them were staying in the cheapest of the cheap hotels on the outskirts of the city, which I can understand if you’re on a tight budget and you’re already spending a lot to take off work and travel for several days to watch your daughter play. If I recall correctly, the Embassy Suites near OU Medical Campus was the official hotel. I was wondering how many ultimately stay in Bricktown, the Omni, and get to see the areas around downtown.

lots of the teams (including OU) stayed at the Omni

You bet OU wanted this team to enjoy a hotel like the Omni. Keep everyone comfortable where they don't feel a lot of pressure since they were the favorite to take it all.

Hope someone has a breakdown of what teams stayed at the Omni, Embassy Suites (NW or Meridian), Wydham Grand, Courtyard by Marriott or if any team stayed at the Historic Hilton Skirvin. Recall whenever Alabama made the tournament they stayed at the Embassy Suites on Meridian Avenue.

Also if any attendance records were broken. Most sessions appeared to be 80% to near sellouts.

I know texas was staying at Sheraton.
Wydham grand was also a team hotel but must have been one the 4 first eliminated teams as it wasn’t hosting (the have the logos on doors when they are) during the final 4 team games.
Omni was a team hotel I know as well. As well as embassy medical center.

Fans stayed all over the OKC metro. That’s the nature of a “citywide” event. Meaning attendees fill up hotels well beyond the official event properties. Literally all over the city.

Dan, I wasn't able to read your MSN link.
