That game is one for the ages. The resulting publicity is incalculable. 

The second inning with Jose was free advertising. He said nothing but good things and was openly rooting for our team. (While sitting in Yankee stadium in his uniform.)

I had a friend (OU grad) call and ask how much we paid Trevino for that recruiting pitch.

ORU won a game in 1978 CWS??? Obviously didn't know that.... TheEagleman thought we lost both games...thanks for the history lesson!! 🤑

I am hoping we get to play Florida on Sunday night.  ORU beat them in the NCAA tournament in basketball, so why not in the World Series.  They are #2 in the nation and have some guy that hit 31 home runs this year and most likely will be a 1st round draft pick.  Bring on the best!

That recruiting pitch to all the Texas ball players was strong.

Of course, we didn't as not necessary, Jose clearly loves and appreciates ORU, but it would have been worth every penny if we did!!! 

I was talking to my daughter after the game, she's a University of Florida grad and I was telling her we will play the gators if they win tonight and describing our win, the 8th inning etc.  and she stopped me and said that she had never heard me so passionate about baseball! This team is amazing!! Go Eagles!!
