As it turns out, this "football school" does its best work on the diamond.

Our softball team lost only one conference game, and heads into the Big 12 tournament ranked 5th in the nation. Our domination has been thanks in part to Megan Gibson, who was named a finalist for the 2008 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award. Megan leads the Big 12 in walks (45), wins (30), shutouts (14), innings pitched (208) and complete games (29).

Our baseball team heads down to Nebraska on Friday with a 15-game conference winning streak, and hopes to bring home our first regular season conference title since 1999. Childress has executed quite the turnaround in three years, but he is not surprised. He knew we had the two things you need to be successful: "No. 1 you’ve got to hold on to a high draft pick and have a senior-(to-be from the previous team) that was drafted pretty good and wants to come back. Then, you need to have a couple guys come out of nowhere, and get other guys to have career years.” Hu?
