I've watched game after game where our guys are getting a treat at first base and wondered what that was about. I looked on line for an explanation without result, I've watched other teams to see if it was commonly done (obviously, it's not), and as a last resort was planning to ask one of you insiders on the sly in person some time. The fact that I never heard a TV announcer comment on it made me think it must be something of common knowledge. I didn't want to ask about it on the board for fear of embarrassing myself, fearing I was unaware of some well known baseball tradition or something from a famous baseball movie I'd missed!! Knowing that it is a creation of this team, a development of the tedium of playing on the road, makes it seem like something really special - almost endearing. I love it now that I know what its about! Ditto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there will be merch in Omaha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of it; kiosks EVERYWHERE: in the stadium, outside the stadium, at Fan Fest in the parking lot, in the downtown hotels, etc. And FWIW: I ordered the white hoodie with the "Oral Roberts" script from the bookstore during Sweet Sixteen week. It said six weeks backorder, I got it in about four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTex Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 A couple optimistic thoughts from the updated "Nitty Gritty" RPI report at https://d1baseball.com/nitty-gritty/2023/: 1. We are now up 9 spots to #49. While arbitrary, this puts us into the 26-50 range that #19 TCU is somehow 3-11 against, as opposed to 12-3 against the top 25, and 9-5 against 51-100. 2. We appear to be the only CWS team that has played in Omaha this year, as a quick look through Creighton's and Omaha's schedule shows only our 3-game sweep at Tal Anderson Field back in April. Too bad Omaha couldn't have arranged for one or two of those to be played at Charles Schwab Field! Update to add #3 - We are now 6-4 against the top 25 RPI teams, which must be the best record against the top tier that any ORU team has had, at least in a long time.

I just don't want ORU to finish last. It's like when you're hiking with a bunch of people and suddenly a ravenous grizzly bear starts chasing everyone. You don't have to be faster than the bear; you just have to be faster than the slowest member of your party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
