Definitely like the others say pulled for you all throughout the whole entire tournament. Way to go Sooners congratulations! Glad y'all want it all. I was a little worried after Carolina won the second game. Just reading some of the fans that was thinking Oklahoma was not going to be able to make it with the pressure on them. But boy did y'all deliver? Congratulations Sooners

Nebraska fans hated Colorado fans way worse than OU fans.


That may have had something to do with CU's "new money" vibe at the time. Or maybe it was how Colorado fans had a habit of throwing AA batteries at opposing teams..

Now we all look forward to the OU series next year playing the defending champs. Will be packed houses on the road.

This conference insane. There isn’t a dearth of programs dying (and spending tons of $) to do what you just did. Enjoy it. Could easily find yourself fighting for last in the conference next year (ask me how I know )

Great run to be honest what's not to root for

OU and Nebraska rooting for one another??? They were bitter rivals in the Big 8 and Big 12.


Rivals - yes. bitter no. Growing up a Sooner fan in the 70's and 80's, there was a respect there. We talked a bit of smack, but it came with respect. Dr. Tom and The King put on displays for us that couldn't be beat. My wife went to her first Nebraska game at a Big12 Championship in KC. We tailgated all day, and she was so confused. The fans of the two teams acted like old friends. The occasional fan from CU, ISU, KSU would come by and were treated like outcasts. It was quite funny! I didn't know any Sooner fan that rooted against Nebraska when we weren't playing each other. Bill Callahan while there did a good job of turning OU fans off, we all cheered when they fired his arse.

Nebraska hated OU more because until Colorado got good. They didn't have anyone else. And the entire time Nebraska fans hated Colorado fans way worse than OU fans. And OU fans hated Texas and OSU fans way more than than Nebraska fans.




Colorado was pretty easy to hate though. Some of the worst fans ever.

Baseball doesn’t have near the amount of trolling as other sports on here. First, the SEC is just loaded with talented teams top to bottom and it’s a given that every team will have ebbs and flows throughout the season.

Y’all were a solid club that got hot, believed in themselves, and played top tier ball. No one can argue that and you have to respect and give praise to the teams that finish.

tRant is far more civilized with baseball than football or basketball.

We congratulate you because it's just college baseball. Win the natty in football and it's a completely different attitude.

It's odd hearing LSU fans compliment the team


In all fairness as it relates to baseball, this is like Jeff Bezos complimenting you for your promotion to mid market manager.

I think most of the newcomers of the conference also underestimate how funny it is to see yet another team win a natty before Arkansas.

Just calling it like we see it.

I tell my son you don't have to brag b/c if you're good other people will brag for you.

In the SEC, baseball fans have a lot more camaraderie with each other. Yes, we want our team to win but almost all of us appreciate good baseball. And all of our teams make each other better because it is so competitive. So congrats to Oklahoma. You absolutely earned this Natty.

I think the difference between SEC baseball and damn near every other NCAA sport, is this:

we can all win. Thus we don't fear each other. It's more like "yeah, join the crowd" when another SEC team does it.

Congrats man. This was a magical post season for Oklahoma.

Lost last 4 weekends of season
Lost first game in sec tourney
Went 14-16 in conference
#11 placed team in the SEC

Post season, the Sooners become a juggernaut and beats

Acc champ in regional 2x's
Big 12 champ in supers 2x's
Sec champ at cws 2x's

Then beat UNC twice

Magical imo. Congrats.

Game recognizes game! As an LSU fan growing up going all the way back to my teenage years watching the runs in the 90s I can certainly recognize and appreciate a true, meant to be, magical team run when I see it! Tip of the cap to them boys for finishing the job! Boomer Sooner fellas!

dude trust me I agree. I have NEVER got support from other conferences in my entire life. This feels diffferent. The love and support I have seen from LSU Georgia, Ole Miss Arkansas I can never explain. THANK YOU SEC
