TCU of Ft Worth, TX, is the local representative in the college baseball finals. (They beat # 2 Texas to clinch a spot in the finals)
They are formally known as The Texas Christian University Horned Frogs! (What's a horned frog?)
And they've earned their trip to Omaha for the college baseball finals.
Today, TCU started its quest for a title with a nice win over Florida State: 8-1
Stefan Stevenson has a good analysis of the TCU team:
"So you're suddenly a huge TCU baseball fan, huh? That's OK, there's plenty of room on the bandwagon as it arrives in Omaha for today's opener against Florida State.
Is it a shock the Horned Frogs are in the College World Series?
Not really.
TCU was one win away in 2009.
Before the season began, players and coaches talked in matter-of-fact tones about their stated goal: Omaha.
TCU has good pitching and they play defense. And they look like a "team of destiny", the kind of club that could win it all in 2010!
Go TCU!
