Great read!
This was my first trip to Omaha and it has been a bucket list trip for me since I was 10. I got to experience the Tigers win a championship with my 13 year old son. He and I flew up the Friday before the championship series. I had tickets lined up if they made it there. I was distraught after we lost to Wake. I didn't think we had the pitching to make it out of the loser's bracket. I kept it a secret from him because I didn't want him to be bummed out if we didn't make it. When Tommy hit the homer, we jumped all over my living room celebrating and I yelled "WE'RE GOING TO OMAHA!!!" He thought I just meant LSU was going.
"No buddy...you and I are!"
I'll never forget his face when he realized what I was actually saying..
It's a trip I will never forget, and hopefully one he will always remember. It was special for me to experience that with him.

Very nice. This was my first time going to every LSU CWS game. Still can't believe they played 8 games here!

Me, either. I raised my Omaha record to 10-12.

jeauxburrow - on a personal note, were you able to get through to United about a refund?

Actually going through losing bracket was awesome for fans. We played everyday. I do understand not good for team, but if you went to watch LSU baseball you got your fill. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)
