Really cool commitment video. Kenny continues to make Stillwater a destination. Get him a stadium and let him cook.

The travel team sheā€™s on is one of the elite travel teams in the country, like one of the top 10 organizations, so thatā€™s encouraging. Also, one recruiting service has her as the No. 18 overall prospect in her class. Not too shabby.

Just the edge we need to get over the OKC hurdle

Chandler is like 26-1 this year, and mostly because of her. Apparently at one of her games in the last few weeks there were several D1 coaches there to watch her. So it sounds like sheā€™s the real deal, and sheā€™s a lefty which is nice.

A legit lefty or just one of those switch hitters that throw right and bat left?

Yes, I can make fun of the fake left handers as a fellow southpaw :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Sheā€™s actually listed as a left handed pitcher, so I think a real lefty.

Ok, so sheā€™s not perfect. Close enough.

Has anyone been to the recent scrimmages and can share details on the starting lineups, positions, and batting order?

Not quite perfect. Theyā€™ve actually lost 4 games now, but I donā€™t think she pitched in two of those because they werenā€™t district games and they gave up more runs than is normal for her. So theyā€™re 31-4 now. Disappointing.

Pay cuts for every football coach until Kenny gets his stadium. I said what I said.

If the suits arenā€™t careful they will wake up one morning and discover KG on their doorstep with notification heā€™s gone.

Scares me to think about. Heā€™s been incredibly patient. Josh got his palace, and he hasnā€™t been NEAR as good as Kenny the past 5 years.

Unlike you, I donā€™t think Gundy is overpaid. But Dunn, Nardo, and Dickey are incredibly overpaid for the performances they are putting out.

Kenny is doing great. Youā€™d think with the following OSU softball has and ticket demand that a new stadium would longterm generate more revenue, right? But even OU with 4 recent nattyā€™s took awhile to get their stadium. I do think that softball should be prioritized but I bet Chad helps wrestling first unless a donor specifically steps up for softball.

Sorry, gotta disagree with ya there about which to prioritize. No doubt that wrestling is a larger part the OSU legacy and thatā€™s to be celebrated, but the softball program is currently experiencing a high level of success and the trend is increasing. And if it is also generating now and will generate more of the revenue long term, Iā€™m afraid the wrestling program has to take a back seat on improved facilities. Unless of course Booneā€™s estate includes funds for one or both.

1 conference title in 20 years. A 1-5 championship game record. No Nattyā€™s. No CFP. Even with it expanded to 12, heā€™s not getting in this year. Look at his recruiting rankings through his history. Heā€™s massively overpaid.

I agree with you. We have to protect the legacy of wrestling, but softball as a sport is experiencing a meteoric rise in popularity. I donā€™t think itā€™s inconceivable at all that softball could become our third highest recent generating sport and one of 2-4 that actually make money. (Behind FB, MBB, and maybe baseball)?

I could be wrong but I thought I heard/read that there is no more money coming from Booneā€™s estate. Everything has been settled I thought.
