It has been an extremely challenging week across many states this week due to severe winter weather making just about every aspect of daily life difficult. The sports landscape has been no different, and Oklahoma has had a hard of a time as anybody.
Sooners basketball had their game with Texas postponed twice before being bumped indefinitely, and now Oklahoma baseball has had their season-opening series canceled for a third time this week per a report from D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers.
Originally, the Sooners were set to host Southern at L. Dale Mitchell Park in Norman for a three-game set running Friday-Sunday. But, weather canceled that so Oklahoma scheduled games with Wichita State set to be played in Round Rock, Texas on Saturday and Sunday.
But, once again, weather issues took that series off the board. Miraculously, the Sooners managed to find a third new opponent in Texas A&M-Corpus Christi but yet again, with boiling water notices in the area and just general difficulties with the weather, the games got the axe again.
With boiling water notices and more still present in much of Texas, including Corpus Christi, @OU_Baseball is no longer traveling to @IslandersBSB this weekend. #Sooners still searching for a destination.

We haven’t received official confirmation from the team yet on what this means going forward, but it would seem like despite great effort Oklahoma will be inactive on opening weekend. If that is the case, they will turn their attention to a Tuesday night matchup with Stephen F. Austin at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
