Remember the Titans

Because the Texas Longhorns sure will:

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- After struggling at the start of the season, Cal State Fullerton ended it in championship style.

Jason Windsor pitched a five-hitter, Kurt Suzuki's RBI single capped off a three-run seventh inning and Cal State Fullerton won the College World Series with a 3-2 victory over Texas on Sunday.

The Titans (47-22) won the best-of-three championship series 2-0 _ a surprising end to a season they started 15-16. The 22 losses are the most by a national champion since Stanford had 23 in 1988.

Don't remind me. I watched Fullerton's semifinal series with South Carolina last week and loudly opined that I would much prefer Texas face Cal State for the championship than the #2 seed Gamecocks. Teach me to open my big fat mouth.

Congratulations to the Titans, well played.

Bunch of California punks.

Augie's guys should have showed some class and accepted that 2nd place trophy. They were not robbed of the title as the '72 Olympic hoops team was.

A classless move by the 'horns

I guess that everything is bigger in Texas - including the babies. They have a bunch of overgrown ones playing baseball in Austin.

What a classless, classless, childish stunt.

Uh, what are you guys talking about? I didn't watch the presentation, so apparently I missed something.

The Longhorns and their coach refused to come back out on to the field and accept their 2nd place trophy. They just sat in the locker room sulking.

Ah.

I doubt they were sulking. More likely they were putting a beatdown on Michael Hollimon and Carson Kainer.
