Norman, Okla. -
The Oklahoma softball team officially opened the 2003 season by hosting the annual preseason luncheon in Norman on Wednesday. Sooner supporters and media members listened to remarks from Oklahoma Head Coach Patty Gasso and selected team members.

The luncheon was catered by Bob's Bar-BQ and hosted by the Villager Inn in Norman.

At the conclusion of the luncheon, the team returned to the OU Softball Complex. Fans and the media toured the facility and the Robert E. Young & Family Locker Room prior to an intrasquad scrimmage. Sooner head football coach Bob Stoops dropped in to help tape up some of the players and posed for photos with the team in the locker room.

The Crimson defeated the Cream, 8-0, in the intrasquad scrimmage that concluded at 5 p.m.

Oklahoma, which began preseason practice on Jan. 9, starts the season at the University of Florida Tournament on February 7. The Sooners open at home by hosting Long Beach State, Alabama-Birmingham and Creighton in the OU/Nike Classic on Feb. 14-16.

Season tickets are available now through the OU Athletics Ticket Office at (405) 325-2424 or (800) 456-GoOU. Fans can also purchase tickets online at www.soonersports.com.
