2023-06-08 WCWS Oklahoma Postgame Press Conference

[@shea72]

I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but the entire 2023 Sooners woman softball season is probably one of the greatest sermons I've heard. Congrats ladies.

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

It really truly is! An amazing thing is happening through this team!

[@sandman7849]

They are at a major home field advantage during the WCWS.

[@johnnyg5122]

Amen!

[@GoodShepherdBandFan]

Can you give me a time stamp? I listened to the player's interview portion twice and totally missed it.

[@shea72]

@Sandman I don't disagree with you. However, I was at the world series here in Oklahoma, and I also attended one of their games in a state 14 hours from Oklahoma, and the whole stadium was Sooner fans. Seemed like no matter where they went, it was like that! :)

[@andrewt.9294]

Grace is an inspiration. Love how open she is in her faith and getting it out there

[@shaytodd4225]

What I love the most about this team, is that they are all God fearing young women led by a God fearing Coach! This is what is special about this team! A God first led team! You don't get to witness this everyday

[@earnestbass1]

A rarety nowadays,but so glad they got a chance to let their light shine on and off the field. Boomer

[@johnnyg5122]

Amen!

[@LARRYCAL]

Amen 🙏🏻 and God bless them all the God Squad

[@davidchoate512]

Giving credit where credit is due.

[@RightRev8487]

As a Longhorn fan, I am not afraid or ashamed to say that this Oklahoma Sooners Women's Softball team is absolutely my favorite team in college...!! It's easy to say that because they see the bigger picture in life and they're not afraid to talk openly and unashamedly about what is most important to them, and that is their dynamic, radical love relationship with Christ. To me, that sets them apart...and it begins at the top with Coach Gasso and the Coaching Staff. Thank you ladies, for being a sweet refreshment in a very dark world.

[@thomasallen2830]

Coach Gasso you are the bomb. You have brought softball to a level that I never knew it could go. I've been a Sooner fan for 40 years and you and your team make me proud to be a Sooner. BOOMER

[@mwright_boomer]

What a team. We may never see a team this good again. Just a privilege to have watched them play.

[@judyseals1497]

What a group of spirit filled women who are beasts on the softball field.

[@coachk7674]

I have coached at every level of baseball for over 45 years, Patty is as solid a coach as any. I love her passion to play the game. She understands what the joy feels like to witness your players grow from young girls to amazing women. God Bless Patty

[@pauladcock4]

Jordy frickin killed it as always...jayda what a catch your badass...congrats to grace ...good luck from here on out... I'm bummed its over...

[@julienacci3109]

Joy is the key here. They show that joy on the field. They bring joy to their fans. So proud to be a part of Sooner nation.

[@johnnyg5122]

What an AMAZING coach! May God always bless you because you are a special human being.❤

[@cletustollery6914]

From an Iowa/Hawkeye dad with daughters that age-ish, you OK players and staff are crushing it on EVERY level! IMPRESSIVE rep for your school, state, womens sports, ALL sports, the midwest, your families, your faith and each other! I'd wish you 20 and staff the best, but I'm pretty confident y'all are gonna do pretty well without "luck"! Love the "eyes up", too!

[@christophercottrell8227]

This team has gone down into the record books. 61-1 is the greatest winning percentage season. 53 and counting game winning streak is unthinkable in this day and age of parity softball. Also, it’s common to lose to far inferior teams a couple times a season. These ladies put in the work, mentally, and physically. It’s got to be hard to have an ultra-talented team, and then get 100% buy in. Stars usually want to shine alone. Kudos to Patty, and all her amazing staff.

[@markroath98]

There is nothing better than college sports, and seeing the excitement players have for their sport.

[@sheilasmith5992]

What’s not to love? Real people doing real things, the right way. So heartwarming. Thankful for them. Boomer!!

What a coach! What a great role model Coach Gasso is to her team! What a team! Congrats!

[@chriseasterling5506]

Maturity, wisdom & truth beyond their years! So obvious they understand what Coach is teaching them is WAY more important than softball. Yet they have fun and play with passion. Well done y’all! Well done Coach! Thank you Lord!

[@aaronclark1599]

I didn't expect anything because I knew last year when we won the championship that night I tweeted the Sooners that I know for a fact they would win it this year

[@chrisbriscoe2543]

I love that they celebrate everything. Case in point? Jayda celebrates getting to keep her press label.

[@gyearl]

You ladies and coach.. we fans willing allowed you to capture our hearts. Most of you know who your REDEEMER is Jesus Christ!

[@johnnyg5122]

Amen!

Never be unapologetic about their faith!

[@markroath98]

A parent of a young player would want their sibling to be coached by Patty Gasso after listening to this interview.

Last answer Patty said gave me chills

Such wisdom! So refreshing to see! God bless these beautiful ladies

Haters will hate, but keep in mind, not all criticism is hate based. Criticism is often love based. Congratulations to all of the OU team. Best of luck next year. And yes, we all will be hoping for a 4 peat. Nothing wrong with that. It's what is expected of any professional.

[@garyhughes2446]

She's a very good pitcher, she is young and I firmly believe she will have good days ahead. In some ways it's a little sad with all the emphasis on winning that the less experienced players have to wait.

[@Mark-xl1ze]

GOAT team!

God fearing women are not Goat. Goat is of Satan, and all goats will be thrown into the abyss.

[@robertmason7553]

Patty its ok to let loose. Its a long hard season and to keep all of those young ladies on the same page and one mission. I sent you a message on another platform. Had to give you props for assembling a great group of young ladies who tell it like it is. Good luck next year.

[@mikemike729]

Best softball team in history and I have yet to see a game. Which I am sorry to say. I was praying for you all and didn’t even know it.

[@LARRYCAL]

Funny I remember at the start of the season some lady on the radio or espn I can’t remember. But anyway she said I don’t think this will be the big bad Oklahoma we have seen in the past years. Talk about putting your foot in your mouth!

[@scotthamilton814]

Offensively, she was correct. At least in comparison to '21 & '22. BUT...Nobody realized how great we would be in the circle!

[@eddiepatterson5025]

God is good All the time and All the time God is good 😊.

[@garyhughes2446]

Coach Gasso is a fine coach and a fine person and it's obvious she cares about her players major congratulations to the team in the entire staff, seasons like this or so very rare. These players do their best to follow God and they're not ashamed of it, in my mind that allows them to scream and dance and celebrate as much as they want, they have learned that especially now. Just a couple quick observations and I'll shut up how are they going to replace Grace Lyons at shortstop. She is as reliable as a soup spoon there. People look at OU's batting when it's their defense that is often times mistake-free or close to it. And Jaday Coleman makes those kind of caches in her sleep every night. I saw it and will probably never forget that afternoon she practically went over the wall to steal a homerun from the longhorns last season. Can't wait to see what next season will bring, you guys are not too far away from an undefeated season believe it or not.

But people it is 2:30 ish in the morning and instead of sleeping I'm watching game clips and Field Of Dreams. I should be sleeping but the games come first even if I have already seen them you see and learn something dfferent every time. Should also be packing to move in 2 WEEKS but...not doing that either.😂

20:46 "I just want to Coach" go where there is no talent and win then, I feel like you are Privileged in a way no other softball coach will ever be Privileged.

[@rickican1198]

Privileged!!??? Lol!!!! I guess that 9-0 run rule to your mighty team is still bouncing around in your head owning you. 😂😂😆😆😆

[@dustyrose5994]

She did go where there was no talent and won. When she got to OU they literally played on city park fields where they had to make way for the slow pitch softball league games. So you are crying about her using the resources she created? A person’s “privilege” as you call it is not the result of their own hard work. That’s called a legacy.

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

Don’t know her history obviously!

[@scotthamilton814]

[@scotthamilton814]

The product you saw on the field was THE result of relentless coaching. They don't win like that because they just go thru the motions

[@jamesbondiv4072]

☝👁👁👆

[@ExtremePacifist]

We Christians have one job going forward: fulfilling the great commission, spreading the gospel of Christ Jesus to everyone we know and everyone we meet. We must show all people looking at us, what a follower of Jesus looks and sounds like. We must grow stronger in the faith as the days become more evil, and we face more hardships and challenges. For the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few, so let us go out today and bring more people into the everlasting kingdom of God and Heaven, while we have the time and ability and freedom, and let us not be divided by this or any other issue that is not a salvation issue. In the mighty and beautiful name of our Lord God, King, and Saviour; Christ Jesus, we pray: Amen, hallelujah, peace, and Maranatha.

[@tattoojack1969]

For the fun of it. For the pure unmitigated joy of competing against someone else in demanding sport while you’re still young and able.

[@bjetpilot]

To show what was written. Just because they say God has determined the outcome, doesn't mean they aren't supposed to play. "Written" in this context doesn't mean it was literally written. This moment in time isn't known to them but they accept the outcome is in God's hands. You know what has been literally written and proven to be true billions of times over? Men are men, and women are women. FSU promoted pride, OU promoted truth.
