INTRODUCTION
LETTER FROM COACH GOLLOWAYWelcome to OU baseball, one of the most storied collegiate programs in the nation. The Sooners have built a strong tradition by winning National Champion-ships in 1951 and 1994. After appearing in a NCAA Regional fi nal in four of the last fi ve years, including a national seed in 2009 and the 2006 Super Regional, we believe OU baseball is on the brink of making the program’s 10th College World Series appearance.
As a Sooner coach, I have been fortunate enough to be a part of three College World Series and the last four regional titles at Oklahoma. It’s fair to say that Sooner baseball is second to none when it comes to its student-athletes enjoying success on and off the fi eld.
The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department is committed to excellence on the fi eld and in the classroom and that is evident by the amount of resources available to our student-athletes.
The expectations remain high and the goals are simple -- to present the student-athletes with the most competitive setting that will prepare them for success at OU and, in turn, in life.
As a Sooner head coach, I recognize the outstanding leadership that has come be-fore this coaching staff and the successful student-athletes who have represented this program. We acknowledge the awesome responsibility as caretakers of this program and work very hard to build upon its rich tradition.
We will continue to extend our right hand of fellowship to our alumni, fans and the dedicated people who represent this great university as we all work together to bring championships home to L. Dale Mitchell Park.

1994 NATIONAL CHAMPS
The Sooners ran the table during the 1994 NCAA Tournament 8-0 with a perfect 8-0 mark, including a 4-0 record in the CWS.
OU displayed its dominance in the eight games of the tournament 71 by only trailing in one of the 72 innings played.
Oklahoma topped Georgia Tech, 13-5, off 16 hits in the champion-ship game, setting a then CWS record. It marked the fourth time the Sooners scored 10 or more runs in the NCAA tourney that year.
The OU pitching staff fi nished the 1994 CWS with the lowest ERA, 2.37 2.37, among all the participants.
OKLAHOMA POWERS TO SERIES TITLEFor Immediate Release: June, 11, 1994
OMAHA, Neb. -- “Twenty-fi ve guys pulling on the same rope.” The 1994 Oklahoma baseball team’s season-long motto that inspired them to a 42-17 regular-season record continued to spark OU during postseason play where the Sooners produced thier second baseball national title in school history with a 13-5 rout of Georgia Tech. The national title capped off an incredible NCAA Tournament run by the Sooners who went undefeated in both the regional tournament in Austin, Texas, and the eight-team double elimination World Series. At the time, OU became only the fi fth team since the College World Series moved to Omaha in 1950 to accomplish such a feat. To further demonstrate the Sooners’ dominance during the postseason, Oklahoma trailed in just one of the 72 innings in the NCAA Tournament. OU fi nished the series as the top hitting (.327) and pitching (2.37 ERA) team, while ranking second in defense (committing only fi ve errors). “We got hot at the right time,” said Oklahoma Head Coach Larry Cochell following the championship game. “The momentum that we got in Austin carried over, and the two one-run victories here (against Auburn and Arizona State) gave us the confi dence to keep it going.” Leading the way for the Sooners was senior centerfi elder Chip Glass, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the series. Glass, who hit only three home runs during the regu-lar season, nailed three round-trippers during the series, including one in the championship game. Over the four-game tournament, the Ukiah, Calif., native batted .389 with four RBI and three stolen bases. With the game tied at two after three innings, Oklahoma jumped ahead and claimed a com-manding lead that it would not relinquish. Aided by four hits and three Yellow Jacket errors, the Sooners scored fi ve runs in the fourth inning to break open a 7-2 lead. Two frames later, a two-run double by Tech’s designated hitter Michael Sorrow (in the top of the sixth) brought the Jackets back to within three runs before a three-run homer by sophomore designated hitter Damon Minor capped off a four-run bottom of the sixth to put the game away for good. Junior leftfi elder Aric Thomas and senior rightfi elder Darvin Traylor led all Oklahoma hitters with three hits and runs apiece, while both drove in one run each. Junior righthander Tim Walton, who pitched fi ve scoreless innings in relief a week before against Arizona State in the Sooners’ second game of the series, picked up the win for OU after throwing 2.1 strong innings in relief of senior starting pitcher Kevin Lovingier.
Oklahoma’s ace closer, junior righthander Bucky Buckles, came on for the fi nal 3.2 innings of work to close out the game and record his school and Big Eight record 14th save of the season.
Buckles’ performance earned him a spot on the all-tournament team along with fi ve other Sooners: Glass, senior second baseman Rick Gutierrez, sophomore fi rst baseman Ryan Minor, Traylor and junior pitcher Mark Redman. As a team, Oklahoma set a championship game record with its 13 runs and tied the record with 16 hits.
“We didn’t have any superstars. This was a team in the truest sense of the word. We all pulled together and did what it took to win.”
- Chip Glass, 1994 College World Series Most Outstanding Player

1951 NATIONAL CHAMPS
The Sooners were undefeated during the 1951 NCAA Tournament with a perfect 7-0 mark, including a 4-0 record in the CWS.
Oklahoma’s win total during the 1951 season, a school record for the fi rst 72 years of OU baseball until 1969 (23).
The Sooners won their last 13 games en route to the 1951 title. That mark ranks in the top 10 all-time as the longest win streak to end a season by a College World Series champion.
The Sooners won the title game with three runs off 11 hits, oppositeTennessee’s two runs scored off three hits.
The University of Oklahoma won three national championships in 1951. With titles also claimed by the wrestling and football teams, OU was the fi rst university to accomplish the feat.
SOONERS EARN FIRST TITLEFor Immediate Release: June, 17, 1951
OMAHA, Neb. -- They weren’t supposed to be there. They weren’t even supposed to be that good, but the 1951 Oklahoma baseball team proved in the end that it could play with the best teams in the nation by sweeping through an impressive tournament fi eld en route to its fi rst baseball national title.
Oklahoma came from behind to defeat the University of Tennessee, 3-2, in the champion-ship game to become the fi rst team in College World Series history to claim the title after winning the double-elimination tournament in straight games without defeat.
The title also gave the University of Oklahoma the distinction of becoming the fi rst school to win three national titles in one school year after the football and wrestling teams both captured national championships. It was a fi ne pitching performance by one of those good pitchers that lifted OU to victory in the championship game. Sooners’ starting pitcher Jack Shirley limited the Volunteers to two runs on three hits. He faced only fi ve batters over the minimum and retired the side in order in seven of the nine innings. After surrendering a single and a double in the fi rst inning, the righthander from Altus, Okla., quieted the Tennessee bats until the fi fth inning when he gave up a RBI-single that drove in the Volunteers’ second run of the inning.
The win was Shirley’s second of the tournament after leading the Sooners to victory in their fi rst game against Ohio State, and his eighth in nine starts that year.
Offensively, Oklahoma pounded out 11 hits off of two Tennessee pitchers. Most of the Soon-ers’ offensive production came from catcher John Reddell (3-for-5), leftfi elder Phil McKee (2-for-4) and fi rst baseman Gene Sheets (2-for-5).
However, it was centerfi elder Charley Pugsley who delivered the key hit for the Sooners that day. With the game tied at two and two outs in the top of the eighth, Pugsley hammered his only hit of the evening into centerfi eld to score third baseman Ray Morgosh with the winning run.
OU scored its fi rst run of the game in the sixth inning when UT’s starting pitcher walked in Reddell with the bases loaded. Reddell fi gured into the Sooners’ next scoring play when he singled home McKee from third to tie the game at two in the top of the seventh.
After struggling with a 9-8 win in 10 innings over Ohio State in the opener, and a 7-1 win over Springfi eld (Mass.) College in the second game of the tournament, OU took its spot in the national championship game by defeating Southern California, 4-1.
Another pitching star for Oklahoma, Floyd Murphy, led the Sooners to victory over the Trojans as Murphy scattered eight hits, while the Sooner defense aided the effort by turning four double plays in the game.
After beginning the season with six straight losses, OU fi nished the regular season 12-9 and captured the Big Seven Conference crown after compiling a 10-1 mark in league play. The Sooners’ shaky start melted away into a hot streak which saw OU win its last 13 games en route to the title. The 13-game streak ranks in the top ten all-time as the longest win streak to end a season by a College World Series champion.
“We just weren’t a great team, but everybody worked hard. We had a couple of good hitters and two good pitchers, three really.”
- Jack Baer, OU Head Coach (1942-1967)

HEAD COACH SUNNY GOLLOWAYA native of Oklahoma, Sunny Golloway’s dream of becoming the head coach at the University of Oklahoma became a reality in 2006 when he was named the Sooners’ skipper on July 15. Prior to offi cially taking over the reins of the program, Golloway served as the interim head coach in 2005, when the Sooners won 10 of their last 12 regular season games and played in the NCAA Regional fi nal against Ole Miss.
After helping OU clubs in 1992, 1994 and 1995 reach the College World Series as an assistant coach, Golloway traveled northeast to take over the Oral Roberts program. The Golden Eagles dominated the Mid-Continent Conference under Golloway, winning six conference titles in eight years. ORU became one of the nation’s winningest programs during his tenure, averag-ing 46 victories per season.
In 2004, Golloway returned to Oklahoma to help his former mentor, Larry Cochell, bring the Sooners’ program back to national prominence. That goal has been accomplished in a short time as three top-10 recruiting classes have been signed at OU while the Sooners enjoyed fi ve trips to the NCAA Tournament, including three NCAA Regionals hosted in Norman, four NCAA Regional fi nals and the program’s only appearance in a NCAA Super Regional in 2006.
OKLAHOMA VP/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS ON GOLLOWAY“His passion for this program is obvious and his enthusiasm never falters. I know that we have a coach who is devoted to the University of Oklahoma and one that is completely com-mitted to the long-term success of the program.”

Tadlock was hired away from Grayson Junior College prior to the 2006 season. He won two NJCAA World Series and made fi ve appearances in the championship series overall while at Grayson. In nine seasons at the helm, Tadlock recorded 435 victories and a .770 winning percentage.
The Sooners have thrived with him on the recruiting trail since his arrival in Norman and have hit over .300 in each of his four seasons on the staff, including a .317 overall average in 2009 and a .300 clip in Big 12 games. Both totals ranked second in the Big 12 Conference.
Bell is the latest addition to the OU staff and completed his second year in Norman in 2009 after three successful years at Tennessee. In the last four years, he has helped tutor four fi rst round draft picks at Oklahoma and Tennessee, including the Sooners’ Garrett Richards in 2009. Richards was one of four hurlers selected in last year’s draft.

JEREMY ERBENOne of two senior captains, along with Ross Hubbard, Erben will help lead an inexperienced pitching staff in 2010. Erben owns 31 career appearances, including 10 starts in 2008, where he began the campaign as the Friday night starter in the regular season and for the Big 12 slate. Erben is one of six hurlers on the staff who were drafted prior to the arrival in Norman, joining Jason Chowning, Ryan Gibson, Kaleb Herren, J.R. Robinson and Bobby Shore.
RYAN DUKENamed a third team All-American (NCBWA) after the 2009 season, Duke is looking to post impressive numbers again in 2010.

Duke enters this season with more career appearances (48) than any other Sooner on the 2010 staff. Following his standout performance in 2009, Duke was named a preseason All-American prior to this season.
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPSA common statement heard throughout the history of sports, “defense wins champion-ships” could not have been more true during head coach Sunny Golloway’s fi rst full year at OU’s helm.
In 2006, the Sooners led the nation with a .983 fi elding percentage, the best mark in program history. The mark also ranks as the second best all-time in NCAA history.
Behind the strength of its defense, the 2006 Sooners won a regional championship and advanced to the program’s fi rst Super Regional appearance (format originated in 1999).
OU has fi nished each of the last six seasons with Golloway on the staff with a mark over .960. In the 10 years prior to Golloway’s return in 2004, only fi ve OU squads recorded marks of .960 or better.
Coach Golloway stresses fundamental baseball at OU and fans can expect to see strong defense accompanied by solid pitching.
Since 2004, Golloway and company have helped develop some of the conference’s top pitchers.

SOONER BASEBALL IN THE SPOTLIGHTOklahoma Athletics is a household name due to the overwhelming media attention that hovers around the Sooners. Writers and broadcasters representing the nation’s most recognized media outlets regularly interact with Sooner players and coaches and routinely spend time in Norman.
And when they can’t come to campus, those same observers keep tabs on OU thanks to extensive television coverage. The Sooners are at the very center of the college athletics and everybody is watching.
Being the most popular sports entity has its advantages. Oklahoma athletics receive more coverage than any other professional or minor league team in the state.
OU baseball benefits from that coverage. Behind football and the basketball programs, baseball and softball are next on the food chain. Throughout the spring, several media outlets cover the Sooners on a regular basis.
The media attention blossomed in 2006 when the Sooners came one win away from advancing to their 10th College World Series in program history. Oklahoma was not only one of the most popular stories in the state, but also drew attention nationwide.
Located on page 27 are a few examples of the various front page stories from local publications over the last couple of seasons. Also shown are other recent stories and clippings from OU’s last National Championship run in 1994.
Every contest of the baseball team’s 56-game schedule is broadcast live on OU’s fl agship station KREF 1400 AM or on the internet. Each year, over 80 percent of the games can be heard live on the radio.
OU baseball has enjoyed 35 television broadcasts over the last four seasons, including eight in 2009 and 13 contests on the ESPN fam-ily of networks. In 2010, more than 20 games will be televised.35

IN THE COMMUNITY
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS OUOU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes...Inspiring Cham-pions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow.
To fulfi ll that promise, the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others.
In conjunction with OU’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, all 21 intercollegiate athletics teams participate in community service efforts each month. Each team is awarded points based on community service, involvement with campus activities, and performance in the classroom throughout the academic year and the baseball team recorded the highest mark on campus in 2008.
Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live.
Below is a list of some of the community service efforts that the OU baseball team partici-pates in each year:
SPECIAL SPECTATORSThe Special Spectators is a national organization that invites seriously ill children to attend a sporting event and meet the players and coaches. More than 30 children from several Oklahoma City hospitals have been hosted by football, basketball, baseball and gymnastics over the past year. The Sooner baseball team has participated in the event for the past four years. On top of meeting the players and coaches and participating in batting practice, the children throw out the ceremonial fi rst pitch for that day’s game.
WILLOW SPRINGS BOYS RANCHSince 2005, Oklahoma baseball has partnered with the Willow Springs Boys Ranch in Chandler, Okla., to interact with the children and participate in a day of various landscap-ing duties and team building exercises. The Willow Springs Boys Ranch is a long-term residential childcare facility that accepts applications from boys between the ages 7 to 12 years old. Boys are able to live on the ranch until they graduate from high school, obtain their G.E.D. or participate in an independent living program after graduation. It is the program’s goal to provide an environment where boys can become successful and develop into productive adults.
MIRACLE LEAGUEFor each of the last four seasons, the OU baseball team has traveled to Mitch Park in Edmond, Okla., to play in a “Miracle League Game.” The Miracle League, founded in 1997, is an organization that gives special-needs children an opportunity to play baseball. Miracle Leagues across the country play in specialized complexes that include custom-designed fi elds with cushioned rubberized turf fi elds that prevent injuries, wheelchair accessible dugouts and a completely fl at surface that eliminates any barriers or obstacles for wheel-chair bound or visually impaired athletes.
HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVEFounded in 2000 by OU assistant football coach Josh Heupel, various athletics programs, including baseball, participate in the annual Holiday Food Drive. The event has grown to help hundreds of families in Norman over the past nine years. In 2008, the Holiday Food Drive targeted 750 families in eight different communities across Oklahoma.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITYAlong with other teams at OU, the Sooner baseball team helped out the local Habitat for Humanity Organization in 2007. The program was founded in 1976 and is designed to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness around the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
SOONERS VISIT KENNEDY ELEMENTARYElliott Blair was one of several Sooners who participated in a weekly program in the fall which features baseball players interacting with children at local elementary schools in various classroom activities.
WILLOW SPRINGS BOYS RANCH - FALL 2009“It’s been a huge blessing having the baseball team out here today. They’re a lot of similari-ties in what we do at Willow Springs Boys Ranch and what University of Oklahoma baseball is about,” said J. Todd Vinson, the founder and executive director, last fall.

BASEBALL FIGHTING FOR A CAUSEPrior to the Texas A&M game on May 15, 2009, Power Roofi ng and Exteriors presented a check for $4,150 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Oklahoma in memory of Mitchell Whita-ker, a special friend of the OU Baseball Team who passed away on Sept. 27, 2007.
Throughout the 2009 season, the company donated $50 for each of the 91 home runs hit by the Sooners. The home run total was the fourth most by a Sooner squad and the most since the 1998 team set the program record with 114 dingers.
SPECIAL SPECTATORSFor the fourth consecutive season, the OU baseball team spent the day with two children from the Special Spectators’ program, a non-profi t organization that provides seriously ill children and their families a chance to attend a behind-the scenes day at athletic events. On Saturday, May 15, 2009, Conner Earnst (left) and Caleb Pape spent a day with the baseball team prior to the game and then threw out the fi rst pitch before enjoying the Sooners’ win against Texas A&M.

OKLAHOMA-OKLAHOMA STATE RIVALRYThe Bedlam Series, presented by The Oklahoman and Oklahoma Farm Bureau Insurance, played each year between OU and Oklahoma State baseball at neutral sites, plays a huge part in giving each program bragging rights across the state and national prominence. The Sooners and Cowboys represent two of the most successful programs, not only in the Big 12 Conference, but also across the country.
The series is the only rivalry in Division I baseball that is played each year at neutral sites during the regular season. In 1986, the Sooners and Cowboys began battling at a neutral site at the All Sports Stadium in Oklahoma City.
In 1991, the series moved to Tulsa, Okla. at the Drillers Stadium (Class AA ballpark) for the series opener and the remaining two games were played at the All Sports Stadium. In 1999, games two and three were moved to the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark (Class AAA ball-park) in Oklahoma City. The facility, built in 1997, is also home to the Big 12 Championship and the Oklahoma City Redhawks (AAA affi liate of the Texas Rangers).
Close to 12,000 fans will pack the park in Tulsa and more than 13,000 fans will watch the Bedlam Series for each of the remaining two games in Oklahoma City.
The rivalry was tabbed one of the best by Rivals.com:
“The Sooner State is consumed by the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State rivalry. Tabbed “Bedlam” by state natives, the annual series between the two schools is intense on the fi eld. That energy is often channeled into the stands. The series usually starts with a single game in Tulsa, Okla. It then moves to AT&T Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City for games two and three. In 2007, the Cowboys swept the Sooners in the regular season series before dropping a single game to OU in the Big 12 Tournament. Though OSU experienced a wealth of success last season, they lead the overall series just 145-138, which equates to a winning percent-age over 51 percent.” - Kendall Rogers, Rosenblatt Report
For the fi rst time since 1996, one game of the Bedlam Series will be played at a campus site. The non-conference game will be played in Stillwater in 2010. In 2011, OU will host the midweek game at L. Dale Mitchell Park.

WHAT’S AT STAKEEvery good college rivalry has the tradition of rewarding the winner a trophy at series’ end and the Bedlam Series, presented by The Oklahoman and Oklahoma Farm Bureau Insurance, is no different. The Bedlam Bowl is presented to each yearly winner on the fi eld following the third and fi nal game of the baseball series.
The Bedlam Series is not only contested in baseball, but all of the sports that OU and OSU compete against each other. At the end of the academic year, the winner, based on a points system, earns bragging rights until the next athletic year rolls around. The University of Oklahoma has won the overall competition and brought home the Bedlam Bowl in four of the last fi ve years.

L. DALE MITCHELL PARK
L. DALE MITCHELL PARK QUICK FACTSYear Opened: 1982Seating Capacity: 2,700Dimensions: LF - 335; CF - 411; RF - 335First Game: Feb. 27, 1982 (Oklahoma 15, Cameron University 4)Largest Crowd: 4,544, vs. Texas (May 4, 1995)Overall Record: 635-165-1 (.793)
BACKGROUNDNamed for the mid-1940s Sooner letterman who still holds OU’s career and single-season batting records, L. Dale Mitchell Park was dedicated prior to the 1982 season. Originally constructed at a cost of $1.27 million, the facility’s second phase was completed in 2002.
With a $1.3 million price tag, the fi rst phase of the renovation was completed during the 1998 season and included an upper concourse, additional restrooms and additional conces-sion stands. Phase two of the plan has provided for new locker rooms, a training room facility and an equipment room for the Sooners.
Prior to the 2002 season, OU completed one of the fi nal stages of the project as the press box facility underwent state-of-the-art improvements. The press box and radio broadcast booths were signifi cantly expanded as well. VIP suites and a disability-accessible elevator were also added.
RECENT ADDITIONSThe Sooners added a practice facility prior to the 2009 season which includes a regulation-size infi eld with natural grass and a 5,160 square-foot indoor hitting facility. The building contains three full-size pitching and hitting lanes and is heated and air conditioned. The $1 million project covers 22,500 square feet of existing ground at L. Dale Mitchell Park and is located down the left-fi eld line adjacent to the Sooners’ bullpen.
The ballpark also received a new video and scoreboard in left fi eld prior to the 2009 season.
RECORD CROWDAn L. Dale Mitchell Park-record 4,544 fans jammed the stadium on May 4, 1995, to witness the Sooners record a 3-2 win over rival Texas en route to OU’s second consecutive NCAA College World Series appearance.
POSTSEASON HISTORYIn 2006, the facility hosted its fi rst NCAA Regional. It marked the third time in the history of the OU baseball program that it has been chosen to host an NCAA Regional in Norman (1975 and 1977), but fi rst at L. Dale Mitchell Park, which opened in 1982. In 2009, the Sooners again were awarded home-fi eld advantage in the postseason at LDM. Addition-ally, the Sooners have hosted a regional in Oklahoma City on three occasions and last hosted one in 2004 at the Bricktown Ballpark.
2001 BEAM CLAY FIELD OF THE YEARThe University of Oklahoma baseball program was awarded the top honor in the col-legiate division of the Beam Clay Baseball Diamond of the Year Award in 2001. The award, sponsored by Beam Clay and Baseball America, recognizes the best playing surfaces in three levels of baseball: professional, college and schools, municipalities and parks. The honor marked the second year in a row that OU’s L. Dale Mitchell Park was selected as one of the best college baseball fi elds in the nation after fi nishing second in the competition in 2000.
Oklahoma took fi rst place honors in the competition in 1994 for the fi rst time. The 2006 season was OU’s latest entry as programs can enter the competition only once every fi ve years after taking fi rst place honors. Four major league head groundskeepers served as the judges in the competition.
DIRECTIONS TO THE FACILITY:OU’s facility is located east of the intersection of Chautauqua Ave. and Imhoff Rd. in Norman. From Interstate 35, exit east on Lindsey St. and proceed approximately one and a half miles. Take a right (south) onto Chautauqua Ave. and continue for about half a mile then turn left (east) onto Imhoff. The facility is located on the left, directly north of the Lloyd Noble Center.
Fans crowded the gates to L. Dale Mitchell Park in 2009 as the Sooners set three top 25 marks last year.

OU ENJOYS RECORD ATTENDANCE IN 2006The 2006 season was one to remember for the OU baseball team and its fans, not only because of the postseason run to the Houston Super Regional, but because the Sooner nation’s presence at L. Dale Mitchell Park was stronger than ever.
OU enjoyed a single-season record seven crowds of 2,000 or more in 2006, including two games over the listed capacity of 2,700.
The 3,531 on hand to witness the Sooners win the 2006 Norman Regional Championship on June 5 was the largest crowd at L. Dale Mitchell Park since 4,544 packed the park to watch Oklahoma host Texas on May 4, 1995.
“Having been a part of so many of the top attended games, I can testify fi rst hand to the advantage that a sellout crowd gives our players,” said OU head coach Sunny Golloway. “The players feed off that energy from the fans and it was never more evident than during the 2006 Norman Regional. We look forward to many more games with capacity crowds on hand, especially during future postseason runs.“

THE PROGRAM
OU FACILITIES
With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.” OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics teams -- and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 26 national championships, more than 200 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans.
The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide fi rst-class facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999.
“Great Expectations - The Campaign for Sooner Sports,” a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a fi ve-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success for OU student-athletes.
Among the accomplishments made possible by Great Expectations’ donors: an expanded, renovated and more beautiful football stadium; two completely new facilities for men’s and women’s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or renovated facilities for baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling, softball, tennis, soccer and track and fi eld; new strength and conditioning and sports medicine centers and an indoor training center.
GAYLORD FAMILY - OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUMThe $75 million expansion and renovation of OU’s football stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast stone that characterize OU’s historic buildings. The expansion added 8,000 seats,
including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfi tted with several state-of-the-art features. This historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation.
EVEREST TRAINING CENTERConsidered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-square-foot center that includes a full-size playing fi eld, simulated stadium lighting, a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing surface to allow for all kicking and throwing drills.
MCCLENDON CENTER FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICSWhile the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium may be more familiar to OU supporters, the north side McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics is one of the most vital areas for OU’s entire athletics program as it is the center of student learning and athletics administration activities.
ROBIN SIEGFRIED AND FAMILY STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COMPLEXThis 13,000-square-foot facility serves more than 500 athletes in OU’s 21 sports. The state-of-the-art facility inside the Barry Switzer Center has been central to OU’s success in recent years and helped develop OU’s reputation as a pioneer in the strength and conditioning fi eld.
BARRY SWITZER CENTERA special feature is the Barry Switzer Center on the south side of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where OU’s storied football history is displayed, media conferences are held and recruits are entertained. The center recently experienced a signifi cant upgrade to refl ect this success and to fully realize the original vision as an exhibit area focusing on OU’s greatest victories and most successful coaching eras.

OU FACILITIES
HENRY J. FREEDE, M.D., SPORTS MEDICINE FACILITYThis 10,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 21 sports, ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and rehabilitation.
FRED & MARY EDDY JONES FOUNDATION RED ROOMThe Red Room is where OU football players meet as a team or offensive/defensive units to watch motivational videos before each game. OU’s offense and defense post their goals for each week, and the Sooner coach holds his post-game press conference in this area.
HEADINGTON FAMILY TENNIS CENTER EXPANSIONThe men’s and women’s tennis teams completed one of the fi nest indoor venues in the country in 2009. Highlights of the new, 55,000 square-foot facility include six air-conditioned courts, championship-quality lighting and surface, and approximately 375 chair-back seats for spectators, which are elevated between the courts. The programs opened a 12-court outdoor championship facility in 2001 during the Great Expectations campaign and was particularly notable because it was donations exclusively from tennis letterwinners who made the new courts possible.
JOHN CRAIN FIELD AT THE OU SOCCER COMPLEXThe University of Oklahoma Athletics Department and the soccer program enjoyed a $4.5 million expansion to the soccer stadium in 2006. In addition to a press box and a permanent grandstand, a multi-use building is located between John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road. The multi-purpose complex includes locker rooms, meeting and video rooms and offi ces for the student-athletes and coaches.
SOFTBALL HITTING FACILITYThe OU softball team broke ground on an indoor hitting facility in July 2008 was completed prior to the 2009 season. In 2002, the Robert E. Young and Family Softball Locker Room was added to the Softball Complex, giving the team a spacious and comfortable gathering place for preparation and relaxation. In 2003, the softball fi eld was named in honor of retired softball coach and women’s administrator Marita Hynes.
BASEBALL PRACTICE FACILITYWith an estimated cost of $1 million, the OU baseball team opened an indoor hitting facility and practice infi eld at L. Dale Mitchell Park prior to the 2009 season. The 5,160-square-foot facility has three full-size hitting/pitching lanes and is air conditioned and heated. Previous renovations to L. Dale Mitchell Park were completed in 2001 when the press box underwent state-of-the-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. The facility originally opened in 1982.
JOHN JACOBS TRACK AND FIELD COMPLEXThe project, which was completed in spring 2004, included a 25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new building includes track and fi eld locker rooms, a sports medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other improvements include upgrades of fi eld event areas, placing them directionally north/south and east/west to take advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000; new restrooms and concessions; and the installation of championship lighting.
HOWARD MCCASLAND FIELD HOUSEThe Field House is one of OU’s most historic buildings. Many OU alumni fondly recall the fi eld house as the home of OU’s basketball program, which it was until Lloyd Noble Center opened in 1975. In 2005, the Field House underwent a $6 million facelift that included a complete interior renovation comprised of a resanded and repainted fl oor with four effi cient practice courts and chair-back seating that offers fans more comfort. In addition, the entire facility was repainted and improvements were made to the HVAC system, sound system, lighting and scoreboards. The Sooners have also enjoyed renovations done to the training room as well as an upgrade to both the volleyball and wrestling locker rooms.
WRESTLING PRACTICE FACILITYConnected to the McCasland Field House, the Athletics Department launched a $2.4 million project in 2008. The bulk of the construction will include a $1.3 million addition to the Port Robertson Wrestling Center. The facility serves as the practice venue for the Sooner wrestling team.
MARY JANE NOBLE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CENTERIn 1975, the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation of Ardmore made the fi rst million-dollar gift in OU history with its contribution to OU’s campaign to build a multi-purpose arena. In 1999, the foundation made another gift to support the renovation of the original center, adding fi rst-class matching facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The Lloyd Noble Center addition includes two new full-sized practice courts for the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
BOB AND ANN COLEMAN MEN’S BASKETBALL CENTERThe nearly 63,000-square-feet Lloyd Noble Center addition offers a matched set of men’s and women’s facilities, including full-sized practice courts, new team and coaches’ locker rooms, training rooms and steam/spa/sauna rooms. Offi ce facilities and conference rooms provide views of the practice courts as special features and a shared weight training facility was created.

SPORTS MEDICINE
SCOTT ANDERSON - Head Athletics Trainer
12 Years at Oklahoma
The recently appointed president of the College Athletic Trainers’ Society, Anderson supervises a staff of nine full-time certified athletic trainers, one physical therapist, eight graduate assistants and 20 undergraduates who provide a bulk of the care for OU student-athletes.
“I am honored to be appointed President of the College Athletic Trainers’ Society,” said Anderson. “This is an organization dedicated to the professional and personal life of the college athletic trainer as we expand the margin of safety for our student-athletes in sport.”
STATE-OF-THE-ART ADDITIONAmong the recent updates that increased OU’s athletic training space to 10,000 square feet were the addition of new hot and cold plunge hydrotherapy pools (shown left). The facility also includes a water rehabilitation pool that features an underwater treadmill, allowing athletes the opportunity to exercise after injury much sooner than on land. By taking away the weight bearing forces of gravity, an athlete is able to keep their running motion while waiting for the injury to heal, allowing the athlete to maintain cardiovascular endurance. The treadmill reaches a speed of approximately eight miles per hour and features underwater jets that provide increased resistance if needed. Underwater cameras allow the athletic trainers and physical therapists to view the running mechanics of the athlete, ensuring proper form and a speedy road to recovery.
OTHER ADDITIONS
- Two examinations rooms (Don H. O’Donoghue, M.D. Orthopedic Examination Room and E. Randy Eichner, M.D. Examination Room)
- Hydroworx 2000 series
- Hydroworx Cold Plunge
- Two full body whirlpools
- Monitored Rehab System shuttle
- Digital x-ray
COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATIONThe Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its athletes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals.
For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma student- athletes by team physicians and OU’s certified athletic trainers. The University of Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available. The base of operation for the Sooners’ medical care is the state-of-the-art Henry J. Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer Center.
Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation equipment that can best benefit the student-athletes. From simple therobands to taping tables, the new facility offers everything a school can have or hope to have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation for preventive medicine and for post-inju-ry rehabilitation. The therapy room is supplied with the latest modalities on the market. A total team effort is the key to OU’s efficiency in preventing, treating and rehabilitating injuries sustained by student-athletes. These measures keep Sooner athletes at their high-est level of performance as they compete for championships.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE
Baseball
The 2009 Sooner baseball team advanced to the program’s fourth regional fi nal in the last fi ve years under head coach Sunny Golloway. OU received the nation’s No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament, a program fi rst, and fi nished the campaign with a 43-20 mark, the second most wins since the Sooners won the 1994 National Championship. While OU’s 32nd appearance in the NCAA Tournament fell short, the Sooners had plenty to celebrate throughout the season as they fi nished second in the Big 12 standings (a half game behind Texas).
Men’s Basketball
If Jeff Capel or anyone else had lingering questions regarding Blake Griffi n’s abilities heading into 2008-09, the sophomore forward answered them emphatically by leading the Sooners to a 30-6 record – their fi fth 30-win season in history– and to within an eyelash of the Final Four (they lost to eventual national champion North Carolina in the Elite Eight). OU’s 13-3 record in Big 12 Conference play tied as its best in the 13-year history of the league, and a 25-1 start to the season resulted in a three-week No. 2 national ranking in February – the program’s highest perch in 19 years. All Griffi n did to help OU’s cause was author one of the most impressive single seasons in recent college hoops memory and win every national player of the year honor.
Women’s Basketball
Women’s basketball had one of its most successful seasons in history, culminating at the program’s second Final Four appearance in St. Louis in April 2009. Led by senior Courtney Paris, the fi rst ever four-time All-American designated by the Associated Press and U.S. Basketball Writers Association, the Sooners matched a program record with 32 wins, including a record 20-game winning streak, and earned their sixth Big 12 regular-season title -- the third for OU in four seasons.
Cross Country The women’s cross country program was represented at the NCAA Championships for the fi fth time in the last six years as sophomore Kelly Waters advanced to the title meet in Terre Haute, Ind. Waters fi nished 93rd at the meet, 16th among sophomores and ninth among Big 12 runners. Waters advanced to the meet after garnering All-Region honors with a 10th-place fi nish at the NCAA Midwest Regional. Waters also grabbed all-conference honors by fi nishing fi fth at the Big 12 Championships. Classmate Jessica Engel fi nished 18th at the conference meet. The men’s season was highlighted by a second-place fi nish at the Arkansas/Missouri Southern dual.
Football
OU endured one of the strangest seasons in its 115-year history in 2009. Ranked No. 3 in the preseason poll, the Sooners watched as seven starters, including a returning Heisman winner at quarterback and a returning All-American at tight end and two others who had achieved All-Big 12 honors during their careers, went down for the season with injuries. That, coupled with the nation’s second-most diffi cult schedule, left the team with a 8-5 mark.Despite the setbacks, OU played in a bowl for a school record 11th consecutive time, a fi gurethat coincides with Bob Stoops’ tenure at the school. The program’s 43rd bowl appearance featured a 31-27 win over then-No. 21 Stanford. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and offensive lineman Trent Williams became OU’s 71st and 72nd consensus All-Americans. Eighteen OU players earned recognition on the All-Big 12 Conference team picked by the coaches. Williams, McCoy, CB Dominique Franks and LB Travis Lewis were fi rst-team picks.
Men’s Golf

SoccerJunior forward Whitney Palmer put together the best individual season in program history in 2009 with a program-record 15 goals scored. Her record-setting campaign was recognized with selections to the NSCAA All-District second team and All-Big 12 fi rst team, both OU fi rsts since 2005.
The Sooners started the season undefeated after four games, but were forced to start as many as seven freshmen in the fi nal 15 contests after losing several starters to injuries, including two for the season. Despite the setbacks, OU doubled its win total from a year ago with a 7-10-2 record under second-year head coach Nicole Nelson.
Softball
The OU softball team wrapped up the year 40-16 overall and 14-4 in Big 12 play. The Sooners won their fourth Big 12 regular season title and hosted an NCAA Regional for the second consecutive year.

TRADITION & SPIRIT
A STORIED AND ACTIVE TRADITIONThe University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 26 team national championships includ-ing eight in men’s gymnastics, seven in football, seven in wrestling, two in baseball, one in men’s golf and one in softball.
The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It inspires OU’s student-athletes to greater heights every season. The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradi-tion that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 25 team national championships, including seven this decade. Overall, OU has won seven national titles in football, seven in wrestling, seven in men’s gymnastics, two in baseball, one in men’s golf and one in softball. The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU:
SOONERSCollege sports fans are hard-pressed to fi nd a nickname that is as unique and as tied-in to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride.
The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went too soon were called “Sooners.”
OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletic teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.
BOOMER SOONEROne of the most recognizable college fi ght songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them.
In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fi ght song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form the university’s fi ght song today. Though the tune was fi rst made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity.

PRIDE OF OKLAHOMAThe Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for nearly a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band.
In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the fi rst band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the fi rst continuous student band in 1904.
Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community.
Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defi ning element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the fi rst “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the fi eld playing Boomer Sooner.

TRADITION & SPIRIT
MASCOTSThe Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the offi cial mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.
During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928.
In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted “Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA).
CRIMSON AND CREAMIn the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body.
The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand.
Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.”
On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the offi cial colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.
OU CHANTThe OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions.
Every fan who wears the offi cial colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one fi nger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners.
The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937.
O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Our chant rolls on and on!Thousands strong
Join heart and songIn alma mater’s praise
Of campus beautiful by day and nightOf colors proudly gleaming Red and White
‘Neath a western skyOU’s chant will never die.

NORMAN
NORMAN - HOME OF THE SOONERSNorman was recently named by Money Magazine as No. 6 of America’s Best Places to Live among “small” cities or locations with a population between 50,000 and 300,000.
Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 100,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit community.
Since the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents wanted to have the first state university. When the first OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity.
As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.”
Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.
The Oklahoma City metropolitan area has a population of more than one million people. OKC is the largest city in the state and the 29th largest city in the nation.
Norman is the third largest city in the state with more than 100,000 residents. Despite its growth, the city nurtures and maintains its small, college town atmosphere.
Located just 18 miles north of Norman, the state’s capital, Oklahoma City, offers all the trappings of a large metropolitan area within an easy drive.

OKLAHOMA CITY
OKLAHOMA CITYOklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the fi rst city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position as the center of the state. It is because of this central location that Oklahoma City has become known as the home of America’s Western heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April 22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of “unassigned lands” at the sound of gunfi re at high noon. Never before or since has such a “run” occurred anywhere on the earth.
By the time the dust had settled on that historic day, many people had staked their claim at “Oklahoma Station,” an area which was destined to become Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911, Oklahoma City offi cially became the capital after a statewide election moved the state seal from Guthrie.
Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It is home of an NBA team, two semi-professional sports teams and the host of the NCAA Women College Softball World Series and Big 12 Softball Championship. The Oklahoma RedHawks, 1996 American Association champions (then named the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball affi liate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the 13,066-seat AT&T Bricktown Ballpark,
one of the plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The ballpark served as host to a 2004 NCAA baseball regional and the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 208 Big 12 Baseball Championships.
Hockey mania runs rampant with the recent success of the Central Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Blazers. The Blazers won the CHL crown in 1996 and are yearly one of the league’s best teams. In addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and Senior PGA Tour events.
2008 NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder began play in the Ford Center in downtown OKC during the 2008-09 season. The arena was rocking from day one as the Thunder drew an average of 18,693 fans last season, 11th-most in the NBA. Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called the Ford Center “one of the toughest places to play in the league.”

2010 OUTLOOK
For the second consecutive season, the Sooners are ranked in the preseason coming in at No. 25 according to Collegiate Baseball. The last time OU was ranked in back-to-back seasons was in 1995 and 1996 after the Sooners claimed the program’s second national title in 1994.
Under head coach Sunny Golloway, the Sooners have accomplished a number of program fi rsts. After the program’s fi rst Super Regional appearance in 2006, the tournament’s fi rst national seed followed in 2009.
While the Sooners have hosted three NCAA Regionals in the last six years and fi nished second in the Big 12 on two occasions, including last season, the Oklahoma coaching staff is hungry for the program’s 26th conference championship and 10th appearance in Omaha.
“We were disappointed last year, but that is a learning experience for the returners and something they can relay to the incoming class,” said Golloway. “These players know the importance of hosting a regional and know they can earn a national seed to host the super regional round. “
Leading the returning class are All-Americans Garrett Buechele and Ryan Duke. Buechele, the starting third baseman and 2009 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, was one of the Sooners’ top hitters last season with a .353 average. On the mound, Duke put together one of the best individual seasons for an OU closer with 16 saves and three wins.
“Buechele and Duke are different players this year,” said Golloway. “At this time last year, neither one of them knew their roles on this team. Now that they have had that success, they are prepared to lead this team and post more impressive numbers.”
Golloway echoes the same thoughts about seniors Jeremy Erben and Ross Hubbard, who were both named team captains at the end of fall practices.
“The key (every year) is replacing the leaders,” added Golloway. “We’ve seen guys like Ross Hubbard come out of his shell, so to speak, to be a vocal leader and do things right. He is a different guy this year because he understands he has to assume that role. I’ve seen the same with Jeremy Erben, Ryan Duke and Garrett Buechele. “
With a strong group of leaders in place, Golloway and company have several other key cogs returning. A group of 13 players that helped lead Oklahoma to 43 wins in 2009, including Chris Ellison, Tyler Ogle and Cameron Seitzer, will help fi ll the void left by the 2009 MLB draft. The trio of Ellison (OF), Ogle (C) and Seitzer (1B) saw extensive playing time as true
freshmen in 2009 and are projected to start on opening day.
“I know everyone is wondering how we are going to replace Garrett Richards, Andrew Doyle, Jamie Johnson, J.T. Wise, Bryant Hernandez, etc ...,” said Golloway. “But we will be saying the same thing this offseason about this year’s veterans. And in a couple years, we are going to be saying, ‘wow, how do you replace a Drew Harrison, Ryan Gibson, etc..’”
Harrison, a 6-4 power hitter, and Gibson, one of several young left-handed hurlers in the incoming class, are only two of the 16 newcomers who were ranked the nation’s 16th best.
The Sooners will need contributions from both the returners and newcomers to get through a grueling schedule that features 11 opponents, for a total of 27 games, that participated in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
Five of those NCAA participants from 2009 (Arkansas, Kansas State, San Diego State, TCU and Texas) recorded 40 or more wins a year ago, while Arkansas (College World Series), TCU (Super Regional) and Texas (College World Series) advanced deep into the tournament.
Oklahoma kicks things off on Feb. 19 in a four-game series at Tony Gwynn Stadium. The slate also features appearances in tournaments in Jacksonville, Fla., Corpus Christi, Texas, and Norman with games against Jacksonville, Mississippi State, Richmond, South Florida, Stephen F. Austin, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, UCLA, Valparaiso and Western Illinois.
“Year in and year out we look to schedule some of the best non-conference competition in order to prepare us for the grueling Big 12 season,” said Golloway. “This year’s schedule is once again evidence of that.”
The 27-game Big 12 schedule begins at home against Baylor (March 19-21). OU also welcomes Texas (April 1-3), Missouri (April 9-11) and Kansas State (April 30-May 2) for three-game sets. The Big 12 road series include Nebraska (March 26-28), Texas Tech (April 16-18), Texas A&M (April 23-25) and Kansas (May 21-23).
The Bedlam Series, presented by The Oklahoman and Oklahoma Farm Bureau Insurance, will be held April 13 and May 7-9. Game one between OU and Oklahoma State is a non-confer-ence game in Stillwater on April 13. The last time the series was played on a campus site was in 1996. OSU will return the trip to Norman in 2011. The Big 12 series begins on May 7 in Tulsa at Drillers Stadium. The teams return to Oklahoma City for the fi nal two games of the series slated for May 8 and 9 at the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark.
PRESEASON RECOGNITIONLast season, the Sooners fi nished a half of a game behind Texas in the Big 12 and joined the Longhorns as one of two national seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Sunny Golloway and company are primed for another championship run in 2010.

SEASON PREVIEWCATCHERS AND DEPTH CHART
CATCHERSReturners: Bryan Groth, Ross Hubbard and Tyler OgleNewcomer: Max White
In 2009, J.T. Wise was the best catcher in the nation and had the awards to prove it, being named the Johnny Bench Award winner and Big 12 Player of the Year.
A trio of Sooners this season will look to fi ll that void with sophomore Tyler Ogle expected to start opening day. OU has depth behind the plate with senior Bryan Groth, the only Sooner with three years of experience in the OU program, senior captain Ross Hubbard and freshman Max White.
“The position was a question mark heading into last spring and look at the year that J.T. had,” said Golloway. “We have talent and experience at the position and are confi dent the group will help lead our pitching staff. This program has a history of producing qual-ity players at the catcher position and the coaches believe another will emerge.”
As a true freshman, Ogle made seven of his 26 starts signaling the pitches, but most of his time was as the team’s designated hitter, where he opened the season in the starting lineup. In 43 games, Ogle hit .302 with 17 RBIs and then went on to play catcher in the Texas Collegiate League over the summer.
“Tyler showed a lot of poise last year and developed even further in the TCL,” added Golloway. “He has the offensive and defensive skills necessary to be successful.”
Hubbard saw a lot of time this fall behind the plate after fi nishing the 2009 campaign as OU’s designated hitter. He brings power from the left side of the plate.
In three years as a Sooner, Groth has impressed coaches with his defensive skills and he looks to show off his bat in 2010.
Despite losing four arms to the 2009 Draft, OU still returns 111 appear-ances (48 percent) of the 320 appearances made last season.
Zach Neal and Bobby Shore, both projected to start in the rotation, helped lead Howard College to a 63-1 record and a NJCAA National Championship in 2009. The duo combined to win 24 games.
OU has hit over .300 in each of the last four seasons and ranked second in the Big 12 in 2009. In addition, the Sooners have recorded a .300 or better clip in Big 12 play in three of the last four years.
Ryan Duke’s 16 saves in 2009 is the second best total in OU history. The right-hander enters the season as OU’s fi rst preseason All-American since David Purcey was honored prior to the 2003 campaign.
The Sooners cracked 91 home runs a year ago, the most since the 1998 OU club. Only 24 of those dingers return in 2010, including seven from Casey Johnson.

PITCHING STAFF
PITCHERSReturners: Jason Chowning, Ryan Duke, Jeremy Erben, Kaleb Herren, J.R. Robinson, Michael Rocha and Jarrett Semler. Newcomers: Brandon Bargas, Luis Collazo, Ryan Gibson, Drew Harrison, Jordan John, Jack Mayfi eld, Zach Neal, Bobby Shore, Derek Vaughn, Drew Verhagen, Max White
OU returns nine letterwinners from the 2009 campaign, but the coaching staff has to replace a majority of the starting rotation which included Andrew Doyle and Garrett Richards. That drafted duo combined for 17 wins and made 19 starts last season.
However, nearly 50 percent of the team’s appearances return for this year’s run, led by seniors Jeremy Erben and J.R. Robinson and juniors Ryan Duke and Michael Rocha. The quartet makes up 83 of the 111 appearances back from the 2009 squad. They are joined by a talented recruiting class that gives the OU coaching staff an opportunity to match up with left-handed hitters with four lefties on the 18-man staff.
“Everyone knows about the importance of pitching and we have a deep and talented staff that allows us to manage from both sides of the plate.
“The challenge of maintaining that high level of competition in college baseball is in the recruitment of quality athletes – which we have done,” said Golloway. “A lot of the players we signed in the fall knew they had the opportunity to come in and play right away. That is why they came to Oklahoma. We feel very good about the youth of this team because that youth is going to turn into experience quickly.”
Duke has experienced the most success among the veterans after fi nishing 3-1 with 16 saves in 2009, a total that ranks second all-time in a single season at Oklahoma. For his efforts, Duke was named a third team All-American following 2009 and was tabbed a preseason All-American prior to the 2010 season. The last Sooner to hold that preseason distinction was David Purcey, a fi rst round draft pick, in 2003.
“The most important thing to me is a closer and we have that,” said Golloway. “If we had Ryan in that role two-to-three years ago, we are probably winning the Big 12 Tournament and advancing to Omaha. Duke gives us confi dence going into every game. He makes this team believe that we can win day in and day out.”
While the role of closer is locked up by Duke, competition for the starting rotation is heated. The recruiting class will fi ll a majority of the starting roles with the exception of Robinson, who is penciled in as the projected No. 2 after making seven starts in 2009.
“J.R. gives us a quality left-handed arm in our weekend rotation which allows us to switch a lineup around during a three-game series,” said Golloway. “He was slowed last season with a back injury but we expect him to return to his true form that saw him really excel in the junior college ranks.”
A pair of junior college All-Americans make up the remainder of the projected weekend rotation. Zach Neal, who led Howard to the NJCAA National Championship with 13 wins, 104 strikeouts and nine walks in 89 innings, will get the nod as the staff’s ace. Bobby Shore won 11 games at Palomar J.C. with 91 strikeouts in 97 innings pitched.
“We have a lot of confi dence in those two,” said Golloway. “They were the top two start-ers in the fall and really led their teams in the Red/White Series with two wins apiece. They know how to win and have experience at the collegiate level.”
True freshmen Ryan Gibson (LHP) and Drew Verhagen (RHP) complete the rotation.
J.R. Robinson will give OU a left-handed arm in the weekend rotation in 2010.

SEASON PREVIEWINFIELD AND OUTFIELD
INFIELDReturners: Caleb Bushyhead, Garrett Buechele, Ross Hubbard and C ameron Seitzer
Newcomers: Danny Black, Cale Ellis, Drew Harrison, Chad Kettler, Jack Mayfi eld & Max White
The OU infi eld will look entirely different with the exception of Garrett Buechele at third base this season. The sophomore’s return solidifi es the corner position for the fi rst time in Norman since Ryan Rohlinger, now with the San Francisco Giants, was drafted following the 2006 Super Regional. Buechele is not only a savvy defender, but carries a hot bat with a .353 average in his fi rst season. Freshman Max White will back up Buechele.
“Garrett got better and better as the season progressed last year,” said Golloway. “He be-came more comfortable with his play and his teammates and it showed down the stretch. He was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and an All-American. We expect more of the same from Garrett. He is the son of long-time pro and coach and he understands the game extremely well.”
Joining Buechele on the opposite side of the diamond is another son of a former Major League veteran, Cameron Seitzer. A steady performer in the batter’s box and in the fi eld, Seitzer’s freshman season was cut short a year ago with a wrist injury after 37 games and 25 starts. Seitzer started the season with a bang, homering in his fi rst at-bat in the season opener, and fi nished with a .307 average with four homers and 21 RBIs.
“We are excited to see Cam’s development in year two,” said Golloway. “He gives us a solid defensive presence at fi rst base and gives us a big bat from the left side. And we have two other big, right-handed hitters in Ross Hubbard and Drew Harrison.”
The biggest question mark in the Sooners’ infi eld exists up the middle. Gone are Bryant Hernandez at short and Matt Harughty at second and fi ve Sooners are battling for starting jobs. At short, highly recruited freshman Chad Kettler, a 24th round selection in 2009, is the projected starter if healthy (back) and junior Cale Ellis, a standout at Seminole J.C., could also step in right away. Junior Danny Black, another 2009 draftee, is projected to start at second base while sophomore Caleb Bushyhead brings experience from last season. Freshman Jack Mayfi eld is the wild card with the potential to step in at either middle infi eld spot and will also see action out of the Sooner bullpen.
OUTFIELDReturners: Elliott Blair, Chris Ellison, Kaleb Herren, Casey Johnson
Newcomers: Tyler Brady, Ricky Eisenberg, Jarek Pritchard, Cody Reine and Erik Ross
The Sooners’ outfi eld is perhaps the deepest group on the squad with nine players pos-sessing the talent to see the fi eld at some point either as a starter or defensive specialist.
“The amount of talent we have in the outfi eld is unprecedented,” said Golloway. “We have up to nine guys who can help us at any given time. We are excited to have two returning starters back and see how the recruiting class can help us.”
Casey Johnson, hailed by the Sooner coaches as a natural hitter, brings the most experi-ence to the group and will start for the third straight year, with most of his starts coming in left fi eld. Johnson played in all but one game last season and hit over .300 for the second straight year.
“He is one of the best overall hitters we have seen,” said Golloway. “He was hampered with a hand injury last season but has a chance to lead us in 2010.”
Moving from right fi eld to center fi eld will be sophomore Chris Ellison. The speedy product from Norman brings fi ve tools to the starting lineup.
Junior Ricky Eisenberg is projected to start in right and complete the OU outfi eld. In 2009, Eisenberg starred at Cypress College and, like Ellison, brings fi ve tools to the table.
Elliott Blair and Kaleb Herren solidify the outfi eld with experience to the position, while Tyler Brady, Jarek Pritchard, Cody Reine and Eric Ross enter their fi rst year in Norman.
OU is looking for big things from Cameron Seitzer after a strong start in 2009.

He moved to the athletics department in 1979 as the Director of Sports Information, wearing many hats along the way as well. He contributed to football radio broadcasts for 24 years and was the Sooners’ baseball voice for 17 years. Treps was on the broadcast team for four national champions - 1974, 1975 and 1985 football, and 1994 baseball.

SEASON PREVIEWBIG 12 CONFERENCE
A CONFERENCE OF EXCELLENCE
The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the fi eld and in the classroom as it enters its 14th season in 2009-10. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 34 team crowns and over 400 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued through 2008-09 as Texas A&M captured national titles in men’s golf as well as men’s and women’s outdoor track & fi eld. The league placed two teams in the Bowl Championship Series for the fi fth time and had a team play for the BCS National Championship for the sixth season. In addition, two volleyball teams advanced to the semifi nals of the NCAA Championship and Oklahoma played in the Women’s Final Four. Missouri softball and Texas baseball punched tickets to the College World Series.
Among individual honors, Sally Kipyego (Texas Tech) became the fi rst NCAA Division I female or male runner to win three consecutive cross country national championships. She was named the Honda Award winner for the third season as the nation’s top female cross country athlete, becoming just the eighth athlete to win the award three times in any sport. Jenny Barringer (Colorado) claimed the Honda Award for Track & Field while Oleksandr Nedovyesov (Oklahoma State) was named ITA/Campbell’s Tennis Player of the Year.
For the fourth time in its 13-year history a Big 12 student-athlete won the Heisman Trophy. The Big 12 also established a high-water mark, as for the fi rst time in the 74-year history of the Heisman Trophy four of the top fi ve vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma).
Over the past fi ve seasons a total of 13 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including each of the past 12 seasons.
The Big 12 leads all conferences with its six appearances in BCS title games. League squads have played for the football national championship six times in the last nine years with berths in 16 BCS games overall, including two each in 2007 and 2008. The Big 12 led all conferences with fi ve teams ranked in the fi nal 2008 BCS Standings. In addition, an all-time high nine league players earned consensus All-America recognition this past season, more than any other conference.
In basketball, 10 women’s and nine men’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. The six men’s Final Four participants since 2002 are tied for the most of any conference. Numerous national honors have been won by basketball student-athletes during the league’s history. The Big 12 had a national player of the year honoree for the third straight year when Blake Griffi n (Oklahoma) was the consensus winner in 2008-09. Courtney Paris (Oklahoma) gave the conference a consensus All-America selection in women’s basketball for the ninth straight season.
The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the fi eld, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game offi cials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.
Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball in 2006 and 2007 by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the fi rst athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In its history, the conference has over 330 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season.
The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the fi eld success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons.
At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards.
Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 225 scholars have received over 1.3 million in postgraduate fi nancial aid through the fi rst 13 years of the program.
The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & fi eld, outdoor track & fi eld, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fi elded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & fi eld, outdoor track & fi eld, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.
The conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor University, University of Colorado, Iowa State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University.
The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 45 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint.
The conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series.
In the last several years the Big 12 has increased its bowl agreements and expanded television opportunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN and FSN. Most recently, the league renewed and expanded its multi-year arrangement with ABC/ESPN, Inc. The new contract began in 2008-09.In its fi rst 13 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.1 billion to its 12 member institutions.
The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in 21 sports. The conference offi ce is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
The Big 12 introduced a two-division, pool play format for the championship in 2006. Each of the eight teams competing is guaranteed a minimum of three games.
Results from the league’s 27-game round-robin conference schedule will determine the eight seeds for the Championship. Seeds 2, 3, 6 and 7 will compete in pool play on one side of the bracket, while seeds 1, 4, 5 and 8 will play in the other.
The two teams with the best record within their bracket will advance to the Championship game, with the winner earning the Big 12’s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. Head-to-head competition will break ties within each bracket. In the event that more than two teams are tied for the top spot within a bracket, the highest seeded team will advance to Sunday’s winner-take-all championship game.

SUNNY GOLLOWAYSunny Golloway has led the Sooners to four NCAA Regional Finals, 170 victories and a top 25 ranking in each of his five years at the helm of the OU program. In 2009, the Sooners accomplished another program first by earning the No. 7 national seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The 2009 season also was highlighted by Oklahoma hosting another NCAA Regional and making its 32nd appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Sooners were 43-20 overall and 17-10 in Big 12 play.
OU finished half of a game out of first place in the conference standings in 2009 and dominated the award circuit with seven All-Big 12 honorees, including the Big 12 Player of the Year in J.T. Wise and the Big 12 Freshman of the Year in Garrett Buechele. The league honors were program firsts since the Big 12’s inception in 1997 and were followed up by Wise being named a consensus All-American and the first Sooner to receive the Johnny Bench Award (top catcher). Wise was one of four Sooners awarded All-America status in 2009 and joined a group of nine Sooners to be selected in the 2009 MLB Draft, a Big 12 high last season. The nine selections tied the nine selected under Golloway in 2006, the third most in program history. Since 2005, 29 Sooners have been drafted with Golloway at the helm.
The 2009 season was the second time the Sooners hosted a NCAA Regional in four years. In 2006, Golloway led OU to the NCAA Norman Regional title and became the second coach in NCAA Division I history to guide his club to a Super Regional Appearance in his first year at the helm. The NCAA regional title was a program first since 1995.
Including eight seasons (1996-2003) as the head coach at Oral Roberts and his record at OU, Gollo-way is 505-254-1 (.665). The winning percentage ranks in the top 25 nationally among active head coaches with a minimum of five years of experience.
The Sooners posted a 36-26-1 overall record during the 2008 campaign and advanced to the champi-onship game of the NCAA Tempe Regional.
OU finished the 2007 season with a 34-24 overall record and eight Sooners received All-Big 12 recognition from the league’s coaches. In addition, Aaron Baker was named a Freshman All-American and Aaron Ivey was named ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year.
In 2006, his first full year as head coach, Golloway guided the Sooners to a 45-22 mark, a third-place finish in the Big 12, an NCAA regional title and the program’s first Super Regional appearance (format originated in 1999).
The Sooners’ run in 2006 was the best in Norman since the 1994 and 1995 teams made back-to-back appearances in the College World Series. OU was one win away from making the program’s 10th ap-pearance in Omaha after Golloway and the Sooners dropped a best of three series to then-No. 1 Rice.
Not only did the Sooners enjoy a top 10 ranking for three weeks during the regular season, but they finished the year ranked No. 9 (Baseball America) and led the nation in fielding percentage with a .983 mark (highest in school history and the second best mark in NCAA history).
Golloway was named the eighth head baseball coach at the University of Oklahoma on July 15, 2005. His appointment was made after successful stints on the Sooner staff as an assistant and interim head coach, and a strong eight-year run as the head coach at Oral Roberts.
In 2005, Golloway was elevated from associate head coach to interim head coach on May 1, when Larry Cochell resigned. Golloway rallied the program to a 12-6 mark down the stretch and led the Sooners to a berth in the NCAA Tournament, including an appearance in the Ole Miss Regional final.
When Golloway took over the Sooners in 2005, the team was 23-20 with a seventh-place Big 12 mark of 7-11. The team won its last three Big 12 series to move its overall record to 35-26 and its Big 12 mark to 14-13, good for a fifth-place finish.
Golloway, an assistant coach at OU from 1992-1995, returned to OU from Oral Roberts prior to the 2004 season. In his first season back, the Sooners returned to the top 25, recorded the program’s highest finish (second place) in Big 12 Conference history and made a return to the NCAA Tourna-ment, hosting a regional tourney.

OKLAHOMASTAFFSUNNY GOLLOWAY
As an assistant on the accomplished OU coaching staffs of the early 1990s, Golloway made three trips to the College World Series, including the 1994 National Championship run. Golloway’s impact has been felt in other areas of the program as well. Four of OU’s recruiting classes since his arrival have ranked in the top 20 by baseball publications, including the 2007 group of newcomers that was tabbed the fourth best in the country by Collegiate Baseball, the highest rank-ing since 1987 and tied for the second best in program history.
At ORU, Golloway posted a mark of 335-156 record (.682). He coached 16 All-Americans, three Freshman All-Americans and 26 of his ORU players were drafted or signed professional contracts. He was honored four times as Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year by his peers (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002). Golloway also garnered Coach of the Year acclaim from the Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 and 2001 and was nominated on two other occasions in his career.
Among his many laurels as the ORU head coach, Golloway shaped the successful careers of 34 all-conference selections, four conference Players and Pitchers of the Year and one conference Newcomer of the Year.
In his final six seasons at ORU, Golloway was responsible for turning the Golden Eagles into one of the nation’s winningest programs. The program flourished under Golloway’s guidance and tallied 277 wins in that time, an average of more than 46 victories per season, and a .731 winning percentage.
Golloway and the Golden Eagles dominated the Mid-Continent Conference after joining the league in 1998, winning six consecutive regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to six consecu-tive NCAA Regionals. ORU was an amazing 85-5 in conference play over his last four seasons.
Golloway’s strongest postseason run with Oral Roberts came at the end of the 2002 season. The Golden Eagles, fresh from winning their fifth consecutive Mid-Continent Conference Tournament title, stunned home-standing No. 14 Wichita State in the opening round of NCAA Regional play. ORU then knocked off the Shockers again the next night, before falling to Arkansas in the Regional final. The national media and baseball coaching community took notice as the Golden Eagles ended the season ranked No. 21 by Collegiate Baseball and 20th by the NCBWA.
Golloway is a former Team USA assistant and head skipper of several collegiate summer teams. In the summer of 2002, he was selected to serve as pitching coach for USA Baseball’s National Team. Under his direction, the team recorded the lowest ERA in its history. Golloway also helped lead Team USA to a silver medal at the first-ever FISU World Championships in Messina, Italy. Team USA also won the championship at Haarlem Baseball Week in The Netherlands.
During his first stint in Norman, Golloway helped guide the Kenai Peninsula Oilers of the Alaska Baseball League to consecutive National Baseball Congress World Series championships in 1993 and 1994. As a result of his successes in those back-to-back years, he was named the NBC Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994.
Counting the Sooners’ national championship in ‘94, Golloway won an amazing three national championships in a 12-month period. Coaching for several high-profile teams has given Golloway the opportunity to help mold many outstanding players. Among those who have come under Golloway’s tutelage are current Major Leaguers Mickey Callaway, Ryan Christenson, J.D. Drew, Braden Looper, Greg Norton, Doug Mientkie-wicz, David Purcey and Ryan Rohlinger.
Although born in Springfield, Mo., Golloway grew up in Stillwater, Okla., and graduated from Stillwater High School in 1979. He attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Junior College in Miami, Okla., for one year before transferring to Oklahoma Christian College where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1984. He has done graduate work at the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma. Golloway and his wife, Charlotte, live in Norman. The couple has three children: Sunni Kate, 24, Taylor, 20, and Callen, 10.
Golloway has accumulated 505 wins over his 13 years as a head coach. Excluding the 2005 season where he won 12 of 18 games as an interim head coach, Golloway has averaged 41 wins per season.
Golloway ‘s .665 winning percentage ranks No. 15 nation-ally among active coaches in Division I baseball. See page 68 for a complete list.
The number of players taken in the MLB Draft during Gollo-way’s 13 seasons as a head coach. As an assistant and head coach at OU, 61 Sooners have been drafted under him.

Garrett Richards was a player you pinpointed last year as a standout out in the fall and then he became a first round pick. What returners came out and displayed some of that same ability this fall? Even though I don’t have him penciled into the rotation, Michael Rocha is going to pitch and he could lead our team in innings pitched. He can be a spot starter in a midweek game or on the weekend. He has the ability be a setup guy out of the bullpen like Chase Anderson was last year. We need to replace that role and Michael and Jeremy Erben can fill that void. They have the experience to stabilize games until we hand the ball over to our outstanding closer in Ryan Duke.
What are some of this club’s strengths?No question about it ... depth. We have a chance to manage this club better than ever before. This team has interchangeable parts across the board. We have four middle infielders, three players at first base and designated hitter, eight or more outfielders and depth behind the plate despite losing J.T. Wise. This team has speed and power off the bench and left-handed arms in the rotation and out of the bullpen. That gives us the ability to use multiple arms on both sides of the mound, different base run-ners, defensive specialists and designated hitters or bunters throughout nine innings and across a 56-game schedule.
What are some of this club’s weaknesses?Inexperience. Baseball is like no other collegiate sport and it’s certainly different than professional baseball because we don’t have a 15-year veteran at shortstop every year like Derek Jeter. There are too many players you have to replace every year with graduation and the draft. We lost seven underclassmen to the draft last season. After the 2008 season, we returned almost the same club in 2009, besides Mike Gosse, and were a national seed in the NCAA Tournament. That is the difference a year of experience makes. This is a young club that has a chance to play together for several years to come and we are excited to get them seasoned.

Who do you expect out of this recruiting class to have the biggest impact?Zach Neal and Bobby Shore. Here are two guys projected to be in our starting rotation, so, obviously, we are expecting big things from them. They know how to win after leading Howard to a national title last year. They are JUCO players and we need some experience and poise in the rotation. Their team was 63-1 last year and they combined for 24 wins. Neal reminds our coaching staff of Andrew Doyle. He is big, strong and he’s poised and confident. Neal is a strike-throwing machine. Shore is a really good three-pitch mix guy. He is hard to hit.
The success over the past five years is well documented with the 2006 Super Regional, regional final appearances, individual awards, etc... What can fans expect in the next five years under Golloway?While we have accomplished a lot of firsts over the past five years with the Super Regional and the national seed last year, this program is still extremely hungry. Our fans should expect great things because that is what we expect. I have always believed that everything in life is about building a foundation. We have established a solid foundation here in Norman and now we need to win championships, and that of course starts with conference titles. We were a half of a game behind Texas in 2004 and 2009, so in the next five years we need to win our share of Big 12 Championships. We have been close in the regular season and in the conference tournament. With the quality of our league, you can argue that is harder to win this conference than get to Omaha, but that can’t be an excuse. It has to motivate us to strive for the best. We have players who expect to host regionals and understand the importance of that in getting back to Omaha. I would hope in the next five years, instead of saying we have been in four out of the last five regionals finals, that we will have four or five appearances in the College World Series. Instead of saying we have a regional champi-onship and that we dog piled in Norman, we want to dog pile in Omaha. We won a national title in 1951 and another in 1994, and we need to win another national title. I think our administration, this program and our fans expect nothing less.
The Sooners recorded a lot of firsts in 2009 with the program’s first national seed, Big 12 Player of the Year and Johnny Bench award winner.

Assistant coach Tim Tadlock, who joined the Sooner coaching staff on August 10, 2005, has placed Oklahoma among the nation’s elite with highly ranked recruiting classes in each of his four seasons on the Sooners’ staff.
OU has also thrived at the plate under Tadlock with above .300 batting averages in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, including the Big 12’s second best mark last season at .317 overall and .300 in conference games. In addition, five OU hitters were selected in the last draft, giving OU 14 in the last four years.
J.T. Wise led the 2009 class of hitters with a fifth round selection after becoming the program’s first winner of the Johnny Bench Award (top catcher). Wise was named the Big 12 Player of the Year while Garrett Buechele was named the league’s top freshman. Ryan Duke, Buechele and Jamie Johnson were all named All-Americans. Also drafted in 2009 was Johnson (seventh round), Bryant Hernandez (ninth round), Aaron Baker (11th round) and Matt Harughty (26th round).
Tadlock had an immediate impact on the Oklahoma baseball team in his first year on the staff. In 2006, the Sooners posted the team’s highest batting average (.323) in more than seven years. Tadlock also helped the squad record its first batting average over .300 in conference play since the 2000 season. The 2006 Sooners hit .313 in the Big 12, compared to a .256 mark in the season prior to his arrival.
The Sooners’ success at the plate played a major role in the program’s first Super Regional appearance in 2006 and Tadlock also helped six Sooners earn All-Big 12 honors.
His first order of business on the OU coaching staff was to help coordinate the recruiting efforts. His success was immediate as the 2007 class was ranked fourth nationally by Collegiate Baseball and 11th by Baseball America. The No. 4 ranking is the second highest Oklahoma class and the best since the 1987 newcomers were also tabbed fourth.
Most recently, the 2010 class, which included four players selected in the last MLB Draft, was ranked No. 16 in the nation.
Tadlock came to Norman after nine successful seasons as the head coach at Grayson County College in Denison, Texas. Under Tadlock, the Vikings posted an impressive 435-130 (.770) mark and won two NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) National Championships in 1999 and 2000. Tadlock was named the NJCAA National Coach of the Year following the championship seasons.
Tadlock led his club to five NJCAA College World Series and conference championships. In addition, Grayson also won five District V championships and produced eight All Americans under Tadlock.
From 1997-2004, he had the highest winning percentage of any collegiate baseball coach in the country for two or four-year institutions at .774. While at Grayson, Tadlock also served as the school’s athletics director, a position he began in August 2000. Under his tutelage, numerous players have been drafted and excelled in Major League Baseball and its minor league affiliates. Among those are John Lackey (LAA Angels), Brian Tallet (Toronto Blue Jays), Victor Diaz (Houston Astros), Jason Alfaro (AAA-Pittsburgh Pirates), Jeremy Fikac (AAA-San Francisco Giants), Kevin Thompson (AAA-Pittsburgh Pirates), Andy LaRoche (Pittsburgh Pirates), Trey Lunsford (AA-San Francisco Giants) and Ryan Rohlinger (San Francisco Giants). He recruited and coached former OU players Andrew McGuire (2003-04),Garrett Patterson (2004-05) and Daniel McCutchen (2004-2006). Before his stint at Grayson, Tadlock was an assistant coach at Hill College in Hillsboro, Texas, a position he held for four years and took shortly after graduating from Texas Tech. As a Red Raider, Tadlock was an everyday shortstop and helped Texas Tech to a 42-18 overall record in 1991, the program’s first 40-win season. Tadlock attended Hill College for two years before finishing his bachelor’s degree in physical educa-tion in May 1992 from Texas Tech. He also attended graduate school at the University of Texas at Tyler and earned his master’s degree in education in August 1994. Tadlock and his wife, Kelly, have two children, Chloe (7) and Benjamin (5), and reside in Norman.

Mike Bell completed his second season in Norman working with the OU pitchers in 2009 after spend-ing the three previous years at the University of Tennessee, where he helped lead the Vols to the College World Series in 2005.
Bell was named an assistant coach at Oklahoma on July 16, 2007, and in addition to his pitching coach duties, he assists with the program’s recruiting efforts.
Four hurlers were selected in the 2009 MLB Draft under his guidance, including first round pick Garrett Richards. Richards was the Sooners’ second first round pick in the last three years but the first pitcher since 2004 (David Purcey). Andrew Doyle (fourth round), Chase Anderson (ninth round) and Antwonie Hubbard (26th round) joined Richards in the 2009 draft class.
Also in 2009, the Sooners registered 495 strikeouts, the most by an Oklahoma staff since 1998. In addition, Ryan Duke (third team All-American-NCBWA) became the first OU pitcher to be named an All-American since Jeff Bajenaru in 2000. Duke led the Big 12 with 16 saves and ranked sixth in the nation. Duke and Doyle also also collected All-Big 12 second team honors last season.
While at Tennessee, Bell built a reputation as one of the top young coaches in the game as he worked with the Vols’ pitching staff and was in charge of recruiting. In three years, he helped produce three All-Americans, three All-SEC honorees, the top four all-time winningest pitchers and four of the top eight single-season strikeout leaders in school history.
On the recruiting front, Bell helped Tennessee collect back-to-back recruiting classes that were ranked in the top 15 nationally by Baseball America, including a 2005 class that was ranked sixth best in the country.
Bell’s hurlers have also fared well in the Major League Draft as three of his six selections at Tennessee were taken in the first two rounds. In 2007, James Adkins was selected in the first round (39th overall) after becoming the school’s all-time leader in strikeouts with 380. In 2006, Luke Hochevar was tabbed the draft’s No. 1 overall pick (late first round pick in 2005) and Sean Watson, one of the program’s top closers, was also drafted in 2006 in the second round.
In his first year in Knoxville, the Volunteers returned to the College World Series for the first time since 2001. That same year, the pitching staff set a school record with 568 strikeouts and posted a top 25 ERA at 3.61. In addition, Hochevar won the 2005 Roger Clemens’ Award and was named the SEC Pitcher of the Year after he led the nation with 15 wins and set a Tennessee record with 154 strikeouts.
Prior to his stay at Tennessee, Bell, a 1996 Florida State graduate, spent two seasons as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at Florida Southern College (Division II). At Florida Southern, Bell and the Mocs were 79-35 overall and the 2003 and 2004 pitching staffs each ranked in the nation’s top 20 in ERA.
Before transferring to Florida State, Bell began his collegiate career at Pasco-Hernando Community College in New Port Richey, Fla., where he was a two-time All-Sun Coast Conference selection.
At Florida State, Bell, a pitcher/first baseman, and the Seminoles made back-to-back CWS appear-ances in 1994 and 1995. During his FSU career, Bell posted a 14-4 overall record with a 3.00 ERA. He struck out 120 batters in 137 2/3 innings pitched and was twice named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll.
After his collegiate career, Bell was selected in the 20th round of the 1995 draft by the Montreal Expos. He spent three years in the Expos organization (1995-97) and three more with the Baltimore Orioles (1998-2000). While in Baltimore, he advanced to play two seasons with the Orioles’ Class-AA team, the Bowie Baysox, in 1999 and 2000.
Following a six-year minor league career that saw him win 28 games and record 18 saves with a 2.99 ERA, Bell took over as head baseball coach in 2000 at Brandon High School in Brandon, Fla. Under his direction, the Eagles won the 2002 Class 4A-District 9 Championship and Bell was recognized by the Florida Athletic Coaches Association (FACA), as the Class 4A Coach of the Year, and by the Tampa Tribune, which tabbed him as the Hillsborough County Coach of the Year.
Bell was a two-time all-area selection at Riverview High School in his hometown of Sarasota, Fla. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Florida State in 1996 and is married to the former Alicia Favarato. The couple has a daughter, Alexis Leann (3), and a son, Kyler (1).

OKLAHOMASTAFFUNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions.
Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his long-time support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965.
In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty.
As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education.
One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholar-ships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appre-ciated property to universities in 1993.
Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he insti-tuted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state govern-ment contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history.
During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government pro-grams and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress.
For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional cam-paign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administra-tion and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock.
Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year.
Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.
In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the uni-versity’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university.
Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has devel-oped and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies pro-gram, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty fam-ily apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.
The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new pro-
grams. Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have
been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18.7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 mil-lion addition to the Michael F. Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communication; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83.5 million stadium project. The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center.
Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.
In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universi-ties in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university.
Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universi-ties to teach.
Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from

OKLAHOMASTAFFVP/ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
Principle Centered Leader …Visionary ... Passionate Advocate for Student-Athletes ... Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values ... Builder of Championship Programs
The success of the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department is known throughout the world of intercollegiate athletics. The last decade may stand as one of the most successful in school history and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998.
Castiglione’s Sooner team has worked to create a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are reached with regularity. Excellence is the norm at OU, and the Sooners’ sports programs, student-athletes, coaches and staff are committed to that standard.
For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow”
With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents, Castiglione has gone about creating a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none.
Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in nine of the last 11 years. Through his insistence that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 11 years. In 2009, the department increased its direct support of the academic mission of the University by increasing its annual commitment to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million to OU Academics.
The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998.
In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal.
That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and
the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration.
His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.
The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching a graduate class in Marketing & Development.
In his tenure, OU has celebrated seven national team championships and more than 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating student-athletes and record-setting grade point averages for Sooner teams; dramatically increased donor giving; huge increases in ticket sales for all sports; major facility improvements, and development and construction of new facilities.
Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to almost $200 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics.
Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director.
A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing.
His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at national and conference level. He chairs the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served two terms as chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. A member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes.
A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.

SEASON RECAP
The 2009 Sooner baseball team advanced to the program’s fourth regional fi nal in the last fi ve years under head coach Sunny Golloway. OU received the nation’s No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament, a program fi rst, and fi nished the campaign with a 43-20 mark, the second most wins since the Sooners won the 1994 National Championship.
While OU’s 32nd appearance in the NCAA Tournament fell short of reaching Omaha, the Sooners had plenty to celebrate throughout the season as they fi nished second in the Big 12 standings (half game behind Texas).
For the second consecutive season, Oklahoma led the Big 12 in hitting, dominating nearly every offensive category while hitting the fourth most home runs in school history with 91.
Senior catcher J.T. Wise was named the Big 12 Player of the Year and third baseman Garrett Buechele was named the conference’s top freshman. Wise, Jamie Johnson and Bryant Hernandez were all named to the All-Big 12 fi rst team while four other Sooners, including Buechele, were selected to the second team.
In addition, Wise was named the Sooners’ fi rst, fi rst team All-American since 2000 and was recongized by all four major outlets. Wise also became the program’s fi rst recipient of the Johnny Bench Award (nation’s top catcher) and was a semifi nalist for the Golden Spikes Award (top player).
Buechele was tabbed a freshman All-American and Bryant Hernandez was selected as a fi nalist for the Brooks Wallace Award (top shortstop).
Ryan Duke, the Sooners’ closer, and Johnson were tabbed third team All-Americans. OU has never had four different individuals earn All-America accolades in the same season.
The Sooners excelled in the classroom as well with four Academic All-Big 12 members.
Below is a look at some of the other highlights throughout the 2009 season:
SOONERS RACK UP BIG 12 AWARDS
For the fi rst time in school history, OU had both the Big 12 Player of the Year, J.T. Wise, and the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Garrett Buechele, named in the same season. Wise is the third Sooner to collect the conference’s top honor and fi rst since Rick Gutierrez in 1994. Dar-ron Cox also won the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1989. Buechele is the fi rst Freshman of the Year honoree for OU. Ole Sheldon (2004), Greg Dobbs (2001) and Mark Redman (1994) were all named the conference newcomer of the year.
OU PLACES SEVEN ON ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS
OU led the conference with a combined seven All-Big 12 fi rst and second team members. Bryant Hernandez (INF), Jamie Johnson (OF) and J.T. Wise (C) were named to the All-Big 12 fi rst team. The last time OU had a fi rst team member was in 2004 (Jarod McAuliff and Russell Raley) and 1998 marked the last time at least three Sooners were named to the fi rst team (fi ve members). OU also had three fi rst team honorees in 1997. Also in 2009, Aaron Baker (1B) Garrett Buechele (3B), Andrew Doyle (SP) and Ryan Duke (RP) were named to the Big 12 second team.
FOUR SOONERS NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12
Four Sooners were named to the 2009 Academic All-Big 12 teams on May 14. Seniors C.J. Blue and Trey Sperring led the way with fi rst team honors and senior Matt Harughty and junior Chase Anderson were named to the second team. The selections were career fi rsts for each of the four Sooners. Oklahoma has had at least two honorees on the academic all-conference team since 1993.
BIG 12 SERIES WINS
The Sooners won seven Big 12 series in 2009, tied with Texas for the Big 12 lead, and reached the total for the fourth time since conference play began in 1997. In each of those years, OU hosted a regional (2009, 2006, 2004 and 2000) and advanced to its fi rst Super Regional in 2006.
OU, Texas and Kansas State were the only teams in the Big 12 to win 40 games in 2009. The Sooners were fi rst in the conference to reach the 40 and 30-win plateaus. OU’s 40 wins dur-ing the regular season is a program best during the Big 12 era and the most since the 1989 team won 42 regular season contests.
HOME SUCCESS
Oklahoma was 24-4 at home during the regular season after outscoring opponents 260-131. The Sooners started the year 14-0 at home and won its 14th home game in as many chances on March 29 against Nebraska. The perfect start was the second best by an OU team at home. The winning streak was snapped by Nebraska later that day and totaled 16 games dating back to last season. In 1974, OU started that campaign 17-0.
RECORDS FALL IN SOONERS’ 29-4 VICTORY
The Sooners’ school record 11 home runs at Kansas State on March 22 tied a Big 12 record (OSU hit 11 versus Chicago St.) and was two shy of tying an NCAA record. OU hit fi ve home runs in the fi rst inning of that game after sending 17 batters to the plate to score 13 runs (one run shy of tying school record). In the fi fth inning, OU hit four dingers to plate 11 more runs. OU’s 29 runs in the game is tied for the fourth most runs scored in school history and the most since 1986. The 27 hits on March 22 at KSU were three shy of the school record and the most hits recorded by an OU team since Feb. 17, 1991 (29 vs. Kearney State).

HISTORY & RECORDS
TIMELINE: 1898-1963
FIRST SEASON
- 1898The Oklahoma baseball team begins collegiate play. The Sooners would only play three games during the season and fi nish with a 2-1 record.
BENNIE OWEN ERA BEGINS
- 1906Bennie Owen becomes the fi rst offi cial coach of the Sooner baseball team and guides the squad to a 10-6 record in 1906. Owen would go on to coach OU until 1927 and fi nished his career in Norman with a 142-102-4 (.581) overall record.
SOONERS RECORD PROGRAM-BEST 17 WINS
- 1915Under Bennie Owen, Oklahoma goes on to win 17 games during the 1915 season. Owen and company fi nished 17-4 and the win total remained a school record for the next 20 years.
HASKELL TAKES OVER
- 1927Lawrence Haskell became the Sooners’ third head coach and debuted in 1927 with a 12-5 record and the program’s fi rst conference title. Oklahoma won seven conference champion-ships and was 176-74-2 in the Haskell era.
BACK-TO-BACK CONFERENCE TITLES
- 1927-1935After guiding the program to its fi rst conference title in 1927, Haskell coached the 1930 and 1931 Sooners to back-to-back conference championships. The two squads combined for a 21-5-1 overall mark and a 15-4-1 mark in conference play.
OU WINS 18 GAMES, EIGHTH CONFERENCE TITLE
- 1936For the second time in school history, Haskell and the Sooners won back-to-back titles in 1935 and 1936. The run during the 1936 season produced the program’s eighth conference championship and a school-record 18 wins, breaking a 21-year-old mark.
MEMORABLE NAMES JOIN SOONERS
- 1942After Haskell’s career ended in Norman, another soon-to-be Sooner legend took over the reins when Jack Baer was hired for the 1942 season. Baer wasn’t the only legendary Sooner to begin his OU career in 1942. Baer had the pleasure of coaching freshman L. Dale Mitchell in 1942, a season that saw Mitchell hit .409.
WWII ENDS, MITCHELL RETURNS
- 1945-46After WWII ended in 1945, the Sooners returned to collegiate baseball the following year. Mitchell, who fought overseas, didn’t lose a beat as the Sooner recorded a .507 batting average during the 1946 season. The clip still ranks as the best batting average for a single season in OU history. Mitchell fi nished his short career with a .467 batting average, also a program best, before leaving school early for professional baseball.
SOONERS WIN FIRST NATIONAL TITLE
- June 17, 1951In his seventh season at the helm, Baer guided the Sooners to the program’s fi rst NCAA Championship in 1951. The Sooners went a perfect 7-0 during the postseason run, claiming the title with a 3-2 win over Tennessee on June 17 in Omaha, Neb. The postseason run marked the fi rst time in College World Series history that a team made it through the double-elimination tournament without a loss. The 1951 Sooners fi nished the season with a 19-9 record, breaking the 1936 record for most wins in a season (18). The Sooners also won the program’s 10th conference title in 1951.
SHIRLEY FIRST ALL-AMERICAN
- 1951The 1951 season was not just about the team’s national championship run as Jack Shirley became OU’s fi rst All-American after recording the win on the mound in the championship game. Shirley was a second team member (ABCA - American Baseball Coaches’ Association) and fi nished the year with a 5-1 record and a 1.97 ERA in 1951.
SHEETS NAMED ALL-AMERICAN FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE SEASON
- 1953After earning second team All-America honors following the 1952 season, Gene Sheets was again honored in 1953 for his efforts. The ABCA named Sheets to the fi rst team as the second baseman became the fi rst Sooner to earn two All-America honors. Sheets was also the fi rst, fi rst team honoree in school history and the fi rst Sooner to claim the accolade in back-to-back seasons.
TOMMY JONES TOSSES FIRST OKLAHOMA NO-HITTER
- 1959The Sooners defeat Missouri, 1-0, led by Tommy Jones’ performance on the mound in which he held the Tigers hitless. The no-hitter was the fi rst in school history.
HADDOCK STRIKES OUT 20
- April 6, 1963OU hurler Jerry Haddock tosses 11 innings and records a school-record 20 punch outs as the Sooners complete a three-game sweep of Kansas in Norman. Haddock’s performance broke the record held by Hal Cumberland who struck out 17 batters against Kansas State in 1941. Cumberland’s performance is still the best by a Sooner in nine innings.

- 1972In his fi fth season at the helm, Semore helps guide the Sooners into the College World Series for the second time in school history (fi rst since 1951).

OU WINS TWO BIG 8 TOURNAMENTS IN THREE YEARS
- 1977-1979Oklahoma ended the 1970s with two Big 8 Tournament Championships out of the fi nal three years. The 1977 title was the fi rst for OU in the conference’s postseason tournament and it came after it won the regular season title as well. In 1979, the Sooners once again claimed the postseason championship after fi nishing third in the regular season.
L. DALE MITCHELL PARK DEDICATION
- October 30, 1981The Sooners’ new $1.27 million stadium is dedicated in honor of the former Sooner great and longtime pro. The new facility took Oklahoma out of Haskell Park (pictured below), which was located next to Owen Field, its home since the late 1920s. After the ceremony on Oct. 30, 1981, Mitchell, who played in three MLB World Series, called the day his biggest thrill in the sport.
WITT STRIKES OUT 17 VERSUS TEXAS
- March 25, 1985Future Major Leaguer Bobby Witt ties Hal Cumberland for the second most strikeouts in a game (most in nine innings) with 17 Ks against Texas on March 25, 1985.
