Good for them, I thought blowing the 8 run lead on Friday would've done them in.

Plus, they gave up like 16 home runs in the Regionals and Super. Hard to overcome.

They have been good for awhile. We've played lots of good games against them, including in regionals. I knew they would get there one of these years

There’s a reason I wanted nothing to do with them being the four seed in the Fayetteville regional. The committee apparently doesn’t follow college baseball as much as I do.

Oral Roberts is a prosperity gospel peacher that's roasting in hell. And the university is currently training the next generation of prosperity gospel swindlers. Just like they trained Kenneth Copeland, Ted Haggard (with bonus meth and male prostitute), and Joel Osteen.

frick the Blow Job Bobs They're the only Cinderella I cheer against, because they're the worst kind of crooks.

That Fresno team will always be the most famous Cinderella in all likelihood, but they were actually pretty loaded in hindsight. Several big leaguers on that Fresno.

Just read into the history of Oral Roberts University. Definitely some dark stuff about his son committing suicide

I don’t think they last terribly long in Omaha, but they’re on the more favorable side of the bracket. TCU vs ORU in what will likely be the first game of the CWS is an interesting matchup.

You want to know what is ironic? ORU has 5 players from Arkansas backyard (Springdale, Bentonville, Lowell), 2 of which start as infielders. ORU makes it to Omaha. DVH and Arky watch from home

I had no idea the school was in Oklahoma I figured it was up north.

Also from glancing at his Wikipedia for about 30 seconds I think I agree with you.
