I'm really glad I got to see FSU when they played at ASU. They were a pretty damn special team and peaked at the right time.

 

[Horn69]

Hook'em!!!

 

[Texas Wahoo]

All I can say is wow. What an amazing run for the last 4 weeks.

 

[bishophorn]

Really good to see them win their first national championship. A good buddy of mine from computer training days is smiling now in the "Big Valley".
Way to go dogs!

[Tailgate]

Well done.

Gald to see them pull it out as well.

[eflow24]

Unbelievable really. Awesome to watch!

 

[hornpharmd]

Wow. One of the top 10 stories of the year I think.

Had to win conference tournament to get into field of 64 post season. Was first #4 seed to make the CWS since 1999.

I especially like this quote:

Kind of a letdown though. Georgia looked totally whipped from the first pitch yesterday.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Congrats to Fresno. They certainly did pull together as a team, and they did it the hard way as a #4 seed.

Congratulations to a team that proved you don't have to be the biggest dog in the fight, just the scrappiest.

I wonder how David Hernandez is feeling after transferring from Fresno State.

I especially like this quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It goes to show you don't need that first-round draft pick on your team to win that national championship," left fielder Steve Susdorf said. "You need 25 guys. We were all committed to the team. No one was about himself."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This team was held together by gauze, tape, and spirit.

The quote is also why we haven't been back in the last couple of years. Less superstars and more team play.

Amazing sports feel-good story, especially the fielder who drove in all six runs in the final game despite having the extremely painful torn thumb ligament. Most people pick the underdog in a neutral situation, and there was none bigger than Fresno State this year in the CWS.

 

[cochamps]

I am stunned that a team from the left coast won the whole thing.
