I admit it’s not exactly the normal kind of post for TMV but I had to chime in on one of the best stories to come out of the sports world in quite a while.
The Fresno State University Bulldogs are not exactly who you would pick as serious contenders for a national title. They started out the regular season with a record of 8 and 12 and then turned things around to make it into the national playoffs.
They entered the playoffs ranked 89th and most figured that they would be lucky to make it past a few games but they just kept winning and made it into the College World Series. Even there things looked pretty hopeless. They lost game one of a three game series and went down 5-0 in the 3rd inning of game 2.
But they rallied to win Game 2 by an amazing 19-10 and tonight they completed the run by winning the game and the national title 6-1.
It might normally sound like hyperbole but in this case it is true, literally nobody in the history of college sports has gone from 89th ranked to winning a national title.
So congratulations to the Fresno State Bulldogs….. National Champions.
