OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway
Opening statement:
"Were excited to get started, I think that's a general statement every year. I clearly understand the excitement and the buzz around the program right now, with the high preseason rankings and a lot of quality student-athletes returning to represent the University of Oklahoma. It's a luxury that we have with all the returning players and the experience we got last year, even though our hearts were broken, and even though we wanted more last year, I think it's left a taste in our players mouths and our program to get back to Omaha and accomplish our goal of winning a National Championship.
"So we've made great strides in a very short time, but it's not the goal were looking for, were looking for a national championship and were looking for winning a Big 12 Championship, which has eluded this program. So there are some lofty goals and I think a lot has been made with the interviews and the conversations that I've had about us being the hunted and I don't see that as being any different. To be honest, every year when we start in this clubhouse, there are awful high expectations of the student-athletes and of the coaching staff and I don't see that changing. We have honestly believed every year that we could win a Big 12 Championship, we could get to Omaha and we could compete for a national championship. We fully understand, and I think with our experience back in the 90's and the luxury of being an assistant coach here when we won a national championship, that you have to get lucky, you have to get breaks and get some calls to win a championship. But really what we control is giving ourselves the best opportunity to go out and get a bid and host a regional and super regional and make the road to Omaha through Norman, Oklahoma. That's what our goal will be this year, along with winning a Big 12 title and getting back to the new ballpark (in Omaha)."
