I screamed so loud on Rowe's HR, I woke my youngest daughter up. Momma wasn't happy but she knows this is TEXAS sports!

Robin Ventura: Right now, it's gonna be very difficult to try and keep your emotions in check...you're Cameron Rupp of not tryin to hit a home run. You know, he hit two home runs in his last game when they faced Arizona State. It...It will creep into your mind. It's difficult when a guy has a change up like this.

Sean McDonough: and that is ripped to deep center, way back, Kipnis goes to the wall...it is GONE!!

Hey Ventura...as you just found out...WE'RE TEXAS *****!!!

Let the biggest party in all of Omaha commence on Monday. Texas and LSU for it all. It's the CWS dream matchup.

 

[Wild Bill]

I kind of expected Rupp would come through with at least a base hit, and maybe a long ball, but never in my wildest dreams did I think Rowe would go yard. That took the wind out of me. This team is a team of destiny!

 

[Oilfield]

Do not bet against this group.

 

[CowtownHornfan]

So much for small ball!

 

[vball]

I am continually amazed at this team's will to win.

 

[leehookem21]

unbelievable!!!

 

[Hu_Fan]

funny... on the 3-1 count I said, 'don't swing, don't swing, d-o n-o-t swing..."

But he did

 

[DGScott975]

as much as I love Omaha can we just move this series to Minute Maid, BBQ and crawfish for everyone

 

[Hornswaggled]

I'm glad it wasn't you batting, Hu!

 

[HI_McDunnough]

YARD....YAGER BOMBS....YARD!!!....YAGER BOMBS.....!!!

 

[Orangeblood90]

, I love this team!!, but they sure give me a few more gray hairs every game.

So Rowe's walk-off homer is the last walk-off homer in the CWS since Chance Wheeless' walk-off homer against Baylor in 2005.

 

[Tama_Horn]

Rupp's HR was the longest in the CWS that I can remember. Rowe...

I love this team! Hook'em!

 

[KazooMan]

Another great coaching move by Augie - re Conner's comments right after the game - "I looked over at Augie, and I got the sign to swing away, and I was surprised. We had been taking the first pitch most of the time." And then he went on to say that he was looking for the changeup, because that is what the pitcher had got him out on the last time up. Smart coach, smart batter, game over.

[orangeblack&gold]

Great part of the order to have up.

HAAAAAA!!!

Hope Tigger sleeps on any part of our lineup. Gone baby Gone baby GONE!

Damn, I love this TEAM.

Going to get a steak at Gorat's to celebrate.

I was at work, heard a roar and then saw people running around the restaurant. Even people that "didn't give a ****" were caught up in the moment.

This is why I love sports and competition. Thank you guys for giving us some great memories.

We've got some more to make.. BEAT THE HELL OUTTA LSU!!!
