It’s hard to describe, but here’s an old story to try. Back in the late 1990s, an LSU fan named Russell Mendoza was here on his umpteenth trip to the CWS, to follow his Tigers, party the week away. Only this time was different. This time, Russell had cancer. His prognosis wasn’t good. Mendoza canceled some appointments to chemotherapy in order to go to the CWS. He would die months later. But before his final CWS, Mendoza’s doctor asked him what was so important about going to Omaha. “Doc, we don’t know if that chemo is going to work,” Mendoza said. “But the College World Series always works.

The article really echoes the feelings of a lot of Omaha residents, hell at Barretts bar there is LSU stuff hung up 365 days a year.

Your fanbase as a whole is by far the most fun to party with and are genuinely nice people. You have a lot of fans up north rooting for your team to do good these next couple of weeks.
