Bedlam Baseball
By Jake Trotter
OSU’s Andrew Oliver (5-2, 214 ERA) vs. OU’s C.J. Blue (6-2, 4.50 ERA).
The Sooners are saving Ryan Duke (6-4, 3.28 ERA), who has been their best pitcher of late, for Sunday. That’s probably the smart move.
OSU’s pitching on the first two days with Oliver and Saturday starter Tyler Lyons (9-2, 3.39 ERA) has been tough. But on Sundays, the Cowboys have struggled some on the mound, bouncing back between starters Matt Gardner and Tyler Blandford.
The OU Track team heads to Boulder, Colo., this weekend for the 2008 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships, May 16-18, at Potts Field on the camups of the University of Colorado.
The OU baseball team had three of its players named to the 2008 Academic All-Big 12 teams on May 15. Senior Jarod Freeman led the way with first team honors and senior Drew Roberts and sophomore Aaron Baker received their first such accolade and were named to the second team.

I confess, I miss Bobby Maze.
And it has nothing to do with his playing ability. He’s the most underrated interview subject to put on a Sooner basketball jersey in quite some time and it’s a shame we only got to enjoy him for one year.
Why am I talking about Bobby Maze? Well, after a successful junior-college season in Kansas, he had committed to Maryland. But he changed his mind. Now he’s going to Tennessee, where they are allegedly calling him “The Solution.”
At least that’s what he told the Knoxville News Sentinel. You can’t make this stuff up.
