2026 College World Series Recap + Omaha Storytime + Full Season Recap

The 11.7 podcast season recap (live on YouTube) opens by congratulating Oklahoma on a national championship and calling its postseason the toughest path to a title, highlighting wins over the Citadel, Georgia Tech (including big comebacks), Kansas, and an SEC-heavy CWS route that ended with a 13–2 game three win over North Carolina. The hosts break down key game moments including a North Carolina baserunning blunder, Kyle Branch’s 3-for-4, 6-RBI performance, and debates over Scott Forbes’ pitching moves involving Jackson Rose, Walker McDuffie, and Jake Glauber, while praising Oklahoma’s bullpen usage of LJ Mercorius. They recap Oklahoma’s uneven SEC season, discuss West Virginia and Troy’s Omaha impact and mid-major scheduling/portal realities, touch on an MLB proposal requiring two years of college, review viral 2026 tweets, and share Omaha travel, tech, and fan-interaction stories before closing the season.
