The upstart Fresno State baseball team that won the College World Series tonight, apparently becoming the lowest ranked team to win it, started their run to a national title in my home town, Long Beach, California.
Not only that, but they did so by beating my alma mater, Long Beach State, in the regionals. Long Beach State was only the #1 seed in that regional, and Fresno State was #4 (out of four teams), but hey, if the favorite had won in any of the regionals, or super regionals, or the finals, then there wouldn't be the "Cinderella story" of the underdog Bulldogs to make the College World Series the lead story on Sports Center.
So, way to do your part, Dirtbags*, and not win. The script required it.
* The nickname for the Long Beach State team.
