Softball royalty is colliding in Norman as Oklahoma ace Jordy Bahl may have just ignited a firestorm within the Sooners’ locker room. After a tight 3–2 win over Oklahoma State, Bahl was asked about the team’s recent struggles with chemistry. Her response was anything but diplomatic.
“Some people ain’t focused on the game. They’re worried about cameras, clout, and who’s trending,” Bahl said, giving a steely look before abruptly ending the interview. Fans and insiders alike immediately interpreted the comments as a direct shot at catcher Kinzie Hansen, who recently launched a YouTube vlog and partnered with multiple fashion brands through NIL deals.
While head coach Patty Gasso tried to smooth things over—saying the team is “just passionate”—sources inside the program describe the locker room as tense. “There’s a divide between the grinders and the influencers,” one player reportedly told a local reporter off-record.
Hansen responded the next day with an Instagram captioned, “Eyes on bigger things. Stay pressed.” That only fueled speculation that a full-blown cold war is underway between two of the Sooners’ biggest stars.
Could this drama threaten OU’s quest for another national title? Or is it just the fire they need to dominate again?
