Sooner Family Unites in Omaha

Oklahoma baseball crushed Alabama 9-0 in their College World Series opener, but the real story was the massive, heartwarming show of support from across the Sooner athletic family — including legends Bob Stoops and Barry Switzer, current coaches Porter Moser and Jennie Baranczyk, and even the 2022 championship squad. Coach Skip Johnson called it a “family-owned business,” crediting that unity for his decision to stay at OU — and even shared a funny bit of Stoops’ advice: “Just let the team do their thing.” The cross-sport love runs deep, with softball players celebrating baseball’s CWS berth — proving the OU family isn’t just one sport, but a whole athletic ecosystem built on loyalty, pride, and unforgettable moments.
