Does OU Softball Have an Unfair Home Field Advantage, or Is Mike White Just a Whiny B*tch?

- OU won their fourth straight national title in softball last night, sweeping Texas by a combined score of 16-7. Naturally, cries of homefield advantage ring out given that the world series games are played at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, about 30 miles from OU's campus. Mike White certainly didn't waste time commenting on it. Hey Mike, however you feel about the games being played in OKC, crying like a little bitch about it is the fans' job, not yours.
There are two questions that arise after every OU national title that I will attempt to answer:
1. Does OU have an unfair advantage due to its location?
2. If so, what can be done about it?
Let's discuss!

The Texas coach needs to change his name to Mike Whine.
How freaking stupid is that to say, Devon Field is not OU's home field and besides OSU has plenty of fans in Oklahoma City and would turn out in the same numbers if they were to make it to the finals. The Texas head coach is just being a bitch about it.
we play football in a hostile environment but we don't bitch about it
We have to play the OU texas game at the texas state fair in Dallas, texas every fecking year and they call that a neutral field. What’s the difference? Shut up and play.
Exactly
Yup, now that you mention it.
The only advantage OU has amd needs is the one the only....
PATTY GASSO!
The head coach for Texas just cry baby. He said ou was cheating last year at his home field,
Not surprised the cry baby is from New Zealand
Why has this guy not said anything about Texas bringing in a transgender to pinch hit 😅
They just have
Better players,
Just like Bama
In football when
They won titles?
Patty said it perfectly. If other cities would have spent the money and took the gamble on softball back when OKC did, there would be other facilities that could host the series also.
OU didn't need to have people outside the stadium in the parking lot watching the game on their phone only to lay on a deafening train horn when Texas is batting to try and gain an advantage as Texas did to OU this year and no one stopped them from doing it. Instead OU just gave them a plain 'ole @$$ whipping the OU way, with a Texas born and raised ace pitcher. Beating Texas to win the 4peat couldn't have been better scripted. To have the Longhorns stand and watch the Sooners celebrate was priceless. Oh yeah and the 12K screaming Sooner fans was the cherry on top.
However many tears the train horn dude cries, it's not enough.
Talk about undermining your team’s mental health.
Do the cornhuskers have an advantage at the college world series in Omaha? No,they never make it😭
Recruiting to Norman is not hard for Patty Gasso. She has another #1 class coming in this year. You don't think HS softballers aren't growing up watching OU win four titles in a row? The best players are lining up to go to Norman.
Recruiting to Norman is a huge disadvantage. Patty was able to overcome the disadvantage by winning. The disadvantage is still there.
@@JohnnieWalkerDreadWe will have to agree to disagree. With the new park and the trophy case, and arguably one of the greatest softball coaches ever at the helm, I find it hard to believe that's OU is at a disadvantage presently.
@@Del-Scent It's not possible to overcome a disadvantage?
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Where's the disadvantage of recruiting to norman?
@@BranDZ7 population. How many current softball players are on the team that live within a 100 miles of Norman?
Does anybody have an extra manpon? I think Mike White needs one
💯
It would not be big enough. It could never be, trust me.
@@garyhughes2446 maybe we could use one of those paint rollers that would probably be big enough
I swear ppl make this videos complaining about it for likes and comments. So here we go again. OKC is the only city who put up the money for the tournament it has been a colossal flop everywhere else. So it was moved back to OKC where it has success. We as OU fans find it hilarious that it's all Anti OU fans can do is say it's right up the road so it's home field advantage. New flash you people we play at loves field not Devon stadium till tourney time. I also find it hilarious Oklahoma St does the same thing but yall don't bring that up. Contrary to popular belief nobody had issues with us until 2021 when we started winning and steamrolling the competition. Also it's locked in till 2035 that the WS will be played there per the contract between OKC and the NCAA. If you dislike OU and cheer for another team then maybe your team should beat us then there won't be this issue anymore of all of you whining and complaining over it non stop. Until then do all of us OU fans a favor and all of you SHUT THE F UP over this same dead beaten horse that we hear about every year
The Red River Rivalry between Texas & Oklahoma have been played for years at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. You don’t hear any complaining from Oklahoma Coaches.
Supposedly, at the red river rivalry the tickets are distributed 50-50 between both schools so that no one has so-called home field advantage
Georgia plays in the Georgia Dome. The Big Ten teams always had to play against the Rose Bowl against a West Coast team. Florida teams play in the Orange Bowl, so they should never be allowed to play there. This is b.s., which is the same description of Mike Whine!!!!
Whats funny is that he is solely responsible for his team dumping and not believing they can ever beat OU in the WCWS. They automaticlly believe they cant win. All of them parroted their coaches whiny crap. Im not saying OU couldnt beat them anyway, because we can and have but the coach has psychologically manipulated his team into believing they cant beat OU at okc thinking that he has made legitimate points. Funny thing is that ucla whooped us 2019, florida sure as hell wasnt intimidated by the crowd. True champions love winning against hostile crowds.
World series tickets. Bowl tickets and so on. Are on sale for anyone that is willing to buy them. Not to a specific school.
yeah texas buy next year tickets right now that’s what we do so shut the f up
If OU has an advantage being in okc the red river showdown has been in Texas for football is an advantage going to cotton bowl. Ou says we will play you anywhere and anytime. Couch White is teaching his girls that they can't win in a noisy venue. Good going white, so tell every team in SEC how to get into your girls head is to be noisey!!!!
From 2000 to preesent Patti gasso has a 19-11 in austin
😅😅
One thing I don't hear people mention is how performing with so many fans can be an extra pressure for athletes. I've heard grown men who fist fight for a living talk about struggling with the pressure and distraction that comes from fighting in their home town. Imagine the stress that would come from thinking about losing to florida in front of so many home fans, breaking the natty streak, and ending your career like that, and then going out and getting the come from behind win in extra innings no less. this OU team is built on faith and grit not home field advantage.
I don't doubt that this exists, but I think that HFA is real, but overestimated. I'm not sure the NCAA has run figures on it, but I can't see it being more than a one-run advantage. In the end, you're at bat, the ball is coming over the plate, you are either going to hit it or not. The fans are not going to swing the bat for you.
NO THEY DO NOT!!!
Why doesn’t anyone say a word about the fact it is 59 miles to Cowgirl Stadium from Devon Stadium. If that isn’t Iike home field advantage also then neither is OU. The fans of other teams just need to step up and buy tickets when they go on sale like OU fans do. They can always sell them if their team doesn’t make it. OU fans would travel no matter where the series is held.
Texas couldn’t beat Oklahoma in downtown Austin on 6th Street. Why because Texas had never won one championship and suddenly it’s home field advantage reason number 500. 😅😅😅😅😅
Well said, you hit the nail right on the head. Mike White needs stop whining, and worry about things, that he can control….like coaching!
I think this best explains the incessant longhorn whining: OU Softball National Championships 8 (including the recent 4-Peat) to Texas ZERO National Championships. OU Football National Championships 7 to Texas 4 National Championships. OU Football Big XII Championships 14 to Texas 4 Big XII Championships. This can cause lots of whining. 🤔🤔
It doesn't matter where you play the game the rules are the same for everyone
No they don't. The Reason the WCWS is in Oklahoma City in the First place is no one wanted it their. Oklahoma City and Wichita KS Was the only city's that bid for it. In the early 90s So shut up about the Unfair advantage. Its the communities that didn't want the event that are at fault many Oklahomans go to the women's softball games even if Oklahoma is not their. So blame the city's of Jasonville Fl, Sandigo Ca, Santa Clara Ca, and Anaheim Ca For this
Good points. I wasn't around when all this was happening so I'm not aware of the politics involved.
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Its OK I know lots of people forget that, But I think I left a bad message I should have said they need to shut up about it instead of just Shut up. Hope you can forgive me for that sir I did also like the video. 🤞
@@user-fg3dx6yh3q It's all good.
Florida doesn’t want to fly 2000 miles and California doesn’t either and nobody wants to fly to California to play themselves.
It's been there for yrs and OU hasn't always been in the WCWS. Other cities had the opportunity to be home to the championship so ppl need to keep that in mind!
I don't see anyone complaining about ou playing the cotton bowl every year against Texas In Texas?
The OU/Texas game is played in Dallas every year.
I guess the real question is: without the transfer portal with Kelly Maxwell jumping ship to the rival school, does OU win? Most likely not. The home field advantage does have an impact, but not enough to make it insurmountable.
It having the game in Oklahoma is a home field advantage. Then why doesn't Nebraska mens college baseball team win it all the time or a team from Nebraska. What about that Mike.
That's not a good argument. No one is saying that home field advantage guarantees victory. A team can squander their HFA by simply not being very good.
Well from what I seen and heard during series that Texas won 2 to 1 in Austin, every time Oklahoma was trying to get something going they would blow a annoying air horn outside of stadium! So how does it feel Texas to have Thousands of OU fans raining down on you! Payback is hell Mr. Texas coach! BOOMER SOONER! There's Only One Oklahoma!
It wouldn’t matter if it was played on the moon. OU fans would fill the place. The Mary Nutter in Southern California is RED. They’ve got home field advantage everywhere they play.
OU doesn’t play every game at Devon or at Love’s Field. They play a lot of very good teams in their home stadium throughout the season and still end up at the WCWS. And while there are a lot of Oklahoma fans in the stands, there are also a lot of fans from all across the country. If Texas supported their softball team, they would travel to OKC since it’s closer than driving from Austin to Houston. Mike White might have been a great softball pitcher in his day but he is not a great coach and doesn’t appear to be a very nice human being.
Wow, wow, wow. This video is *chefs kiss*🤌🏽
Every point ya made was clear & concise.
Couldn't agree more w/ all of em that ya stated, ESPECIALLY bout that cryin kiwi coach of theirs😆
Thnx for all the insight.
#BoomSoon🔴⚪🐴
I think the entire softball world hates on Mike White, so I can't take too much credit there.
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Lmao, true, true. U brought up a good point about why would any player wanna play for him. Did ya happen to see that 3rd base running debacle in their regional VS the Aggies? He COMPLETELY threw his player under the bus on national TV.
@@brycewayne8729 I didn't watch that game. When the Aggies play UT, the outcome is already in the books. The Aggies never win when you need them to.
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Haha, no lies detected.
Long story long, he had a base runner headed towards 3rd, & pointed @ the bag. Well, she did what all of us would do & stopped @ 3rd. He then proceeded to chew her out for not heading towards home. She looked confused (as did the announcers) cuz usually the "windmill" sign means head home. Understandably, she didn't like being chewed out for HIS mistake, & gave him a mouth full from the dugout. Another player had to calm her down lol
@@brycewayne8729 Which UT vs A&M game was it?
If this game was played in dallas, the sooners would still have the crowd advantage. And I don't hear anyone complaining about oklahoma state having a crowd advantage. That's because they don't win championships. It's only brought up because people are very jealous.
I don't recognize the man doing the talking, but I quite like him. although I don't fully agree. The biggest problem Texas has is there damn whiny ass coach. If Mike White cannot get his team jacked up enough to go play in any city Then just stay the hell home. Texas and a shit load of Other cities did not want to spend the money for a stadium yet they want the game to be played in their backyard. In the name of all things holy GROW UP. If you want to dance, you have to pay the fiddler. Texas fought their way to the finals in Oklahoma City. And then they face a high quality opponent and can hardly tie their cleats. If you have to have thousands of screaming fans blowing in your ear to motivate you, you may as well not play. Here is the hard truth your fielding and defense is pathetic. Mike commented on it himself about 3 months ago, Something about how they're defense didn't help or compliment the pitching and offense very much and you have to make the plays that have to be made. I said before, General Patton never had a home field advantage and he kicked ass about every fight he was in. Even with homefield advantage, you still have to go out and outscore your opponent and outplay them on defense and make fewer mistakes, and come up with big hits when there are runners on base, you have to beat your opponent. Texas did none of that, especially in game 2 against the Sooners so Mike White bitches about the venue. If you have to have an excuse, at least make it a good one.
The Sooners play with a passion and intensity that is unmatched, and if they have to throw a few bats and yell a little bit to do that, they've earned that, right !!!!!!!!!!!!! Go throw some bats, Mike. It might help at least you would feel better.
I think HFA is a small advantage, but it pales in comparison to the enormous recruiting advantage of most of the other national title contenders. UCLA should win the national title every year. OU and OSU have no business fielding competitive teams based on their location. They overcame those disadvantages through solid coaching. I expect UCLA and Texas to do the same. They didn't.
Well the fans are not catching those balls or hitting those home runs
He would have been perfectly silent had the games been played inside the state of utsux but it isn't. A lot of teams get beat on their own field in front of their own fan base. Home field can be an advantage but doesn't guarantee a win. Bottom line to it as far as I'm concerned is utsux sux and has always sukked.
Every time we play the red river shootout, we're on tx soil. Cry me river!
tx always cries, tx always overrated. Tx is not back. Big 12 felons had to change the rules 2wks b4 big 12 championship, so tx wouldn't lose to Oklahoma twice. Lmao, 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
We're not crying, we've known Oklahoma is hated. We thrive on it. Longest win streaks in football and softball. We have the toughest schedule in college football next year, while tx has a cake walk for two years. Oklahoma, there's only one. SEC, we're coming, Coach V and company is coming with us. Win or lose, you best get them ice bags ready. SLOBBER KNOCKERS are coming home again. BOOMER SOONER
If OU Sooners Softball had an unfair advantage b/c of the Championship in OKCl; then, why did OU build a new softball stadium in Norman, OK? Otherwise, they should have used the OKC stadium as their home field. They didn't.
Absolutely no home field advantage. OU is a just a lean mean softball playing machine❕
Well it's the NCAA for you
WHAT about the conference championship being played in Texas, their was regionals, super regionals played in Texas Longhorn stadium.
You have to earn it to be there it's not given to any team!
And OKC is the Softball Hall of Fame.
Oklahoma had a better record on the road than they did at home this year!
Same here I respect the texas players but the coach n staff I don't care much foe, how they conduct themselves n act trying to fight n flipping ppl off, that's how you run your program smh, patty is about faith n it shows
Ok i am fair and yes there is an advantage. But to be fair we go to the cotton bowl and texass fans are cursing at us and sometimes step out of line. But we still go. Texas softball needs to get onto their fans about coming to Oklahoma City and represent like how we go to the Cotton Bowl and represent Oklahoma. Talk and be angry towards your football fans who are letting y’all down and keep OU’s name…. well you know the rest
we kick everybody’s but every where else we play
OU LOST ONLY 6 GAMES AND THEY PLAYED ACROSS THE USA, MEXICO, AND JAPAN.
Okie Joe's is cool! Boomer Sooner!
The baseball championships are played in Omaha but that doesnt mean Nebraska make it there every year. OU women stomp everyone no matter where they play, but they dont get an auto spot in the WCWS just because they are from Oklahoma.
And yeah, playing USC @ the Rose Bowl, LSU @ the Sugar Bowl, UGA @ Peach Bowl , and Florida @ the Orange Bowl are also not an issue for those crying about OU women softball having an advantage. So, F them! Cry harder!
This home field advantage has been going on a long time. In football, bowl games are played in the winter, so you don't see many major bowl games played near university campuses located in cold weather. Is that fair? For many years the Orange Bowl hosted the game that decided the national title, and it was played in Miami. Any team from Florida would have a natural home field advantage, which OU found out the hard way on many occasions.
Texas' major bowl game ever year was typically the Cotton Bowl, located in Dallas. USC and UCLA had the Rose Bowl. For some reason, those HFAs are okay.
Yep, pretty sure we beat florida st at the orange bowl in 2000 for a nattie. Lost the other 3 championships to usc, lsu, & Florida in their backyards and not one Sooner fan cried about home field advantage. But fexas fans are fexas fans...
They have the best road home and neutral sites record ever 3 road losses last 2 years 1 BAYLOR by 1 run 2 these year Texas 2-1 2-1 one neutral field Florida these year 4 home losses new stadium with ceremonies in the morning baptized deal loses to Louisiana and the 71 streak over Hynes field was home field advantage never lost for years even OSU won 2 1997 last time Texas won 2 2009 last time they go on the road and have more fans college baseball Nebraska every year don't see them there winning. Pro football cowboys 12-5 packers 9-8 at cowboys stomped home team NO2 against 7 seed
What my girls from ou could have beat Texas in my back yard
No it's because they are the best
Yes they do
Did you actually watch the video?
If any other state wants to pony up, spend the money to build a top notch facility then they need to quit bitching and build it!! In the meantime, BOOMER SOONER!!
😭
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no because UCLA won all of their championships in Oklahoma City so did Arizona earlier in the years in the 70s and 60s I think they were played in Nebraska and Texas coach is nothing but a whiny baby butthead
😂😂😂
🎉 texas always whines, so why wouldnt they hire a whiny coach, who wants to play for this guy, hey texas do you want Matthew and mike to get marrief
Rittenhouse should be in prison
You're entitled to your wrong opinion, but what does that have to do with his family's misfortunes?
Hey Johnnie.....great commentary and opinion on why the NCAA WCWS is played in OKC and not elsewhere, at least through 2035.
#BoomerSooner G🥎 🥎U!
Did you go to the championship celebration today?
@@JohnnieWalkerDread Sadly no. I live in Northern California and wasn't able to fly and attend this great event-celebration in Norman, at the OU Campus. for the last three years & today. 😑😔
