64 days until kickoff in Norman.
Oklahoma native Dominique Whaley scored from 64 yards out in the 2011 OU-Texas game.
“And folks, Bevo can’t stand to watch it anymore. He has flat turned his back on the Horns.”
No one and I mean no one was more deserving than Jaxon Willits.
13-for-26.
1 bomb.
6 runs.
7 RBIs.
Just went on an absolute TEAR when it mattered most. Built for the moment.
Skip Johnson on being one win away from winning the national title: “I’m just gonna stay out of their way… It’s in God’s plan… You ask all the players that and they’ll say the same thing.” #Sooners
"After that first inning, I started pitching for the guys around me instead of myself."
What an amazing bite from Cord Rager on why he settled in after a rough first inning. The freshman starter gave up one hit after the first, keeping OU in the game.

Up 1-0 in best of three @CWSOmaha Skip Johnson (@CoachJohnsonOU) delivers an uncommon message for @OU_Baseball and for every leader striving to build an uncommon culture:
🙌 Selflessness is one of the rarest competitive advantages in any organization because it becomes increasingly uncommon at every level. The higher the stakes, the more people protect their status, spotlight, and self-interest. Teams that consistently choose "we" over "me" create separation that talent alone can't overcome.
❓ One of the most powerful questions a team can ask is: "What could we accomplish if nobody cared who got the credit?" Ego divides energy. Shared ownership multiplies it. When recognition becomes secondary to the mission, trust grows, silos disappear, and extraordinary results become possible.
✈️ Your trajectory is often determined by the energy you tolerate. Negative people drain focus, magnify problems, and create friction that slows progress. Protect your environment relentlessly. Removing toxic energy creates the space for growth, momentum, and your best work to emerge in sports and in life.
Selflessness is the ultimate force multiplier: when everyone invests in the mission instead of their own spotlight, ordinary groups become uncommon teams. 🔦 #MCWS #RoadToOmaha
"I know how proud he would be."
Toby Keith was a lifelong Oklahoma fan, and his wife, Tricia, is in Omaha cheering on the Sooners as the team won Game 1 of the MCWS Finals. ❤️
“Every one of those kids are giving you everything they got, they play with passion…and if we win or lose this whole thing, it doesn’t matter to me man, as long as they continue to do what they do the rest of their lives”
Oklahoma HC Skip Johnson talks about his team playing the game the right way—with passion, selflessness, and drive and how grateful he is to have an entire team with that mindset
Bob Stoops, Barry Switzer, Brent Venables, John Mateer, Ben Arbuckle, Jennie Baranczyk, Porter Moser and several others have shown up to Omaha to support OU Baseball.
Roger Denny told The Plank Show how it all came together.
“Skip said it’s a family and a lot of places say that…it’s special at our place.”
Take a listen to hear about why LJ Mercurius was reading a book in the bullpen during the game the other day here at the College World Series when his little brother Xavier Mercurius was pitching the game of his life. @LjMercurius#Sooners
