"Sooner fans now have the opportunity to watch live video of OU baseball and softball games in Norman and at other Big 12 venues," said OU Athletics Internet Services Director Jason Matheson. "The Athletics Department has made significant strides in bringing our fans greater access to all of our teams through SoonerSports.com and the O-Zone."

The new SoonerSports.com was launched in July of 2003 with the O-Zone going live in August. In addition to football and basketball coverage, the O-Zone has broadcast soccer, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics events over the past six months. The O-Zone also broadcasts live press conferences from Norman.
