This time next year, we'll be saying goodbye to Rosenblatt Stadium. So at least we don't have that to do tonight.

But after finishing my fourth year here in Omaha, this is always a sad night.

The fans, players, coaches, and other media members and NCAA staff that you meet during these two weeks are nothing like any other event in sports. There's a relaxed professionalism that I've never seen anywhere else. And that's what makes it so fun to keep coming back to.

Whether it was meeting the LSU fans that drove 16 hours from Cajun Country to tailgate everyday at 7am, or any of the other 336,076 fans that packed into this place the last 15 games, they all had a story. And they all shared a love for college baseball.

So we bid farewell to this place for another year. It always goes so fast. We started with 64 teams in the NCAA Tournament four weeks ago. And now we have one.

Congratulations to the LSU Tigers on their championship, and congrats to this city and its people for hosting such a great event every year.

Thanks for following along, as always, it's been a blast.

Goodnight for one final time from Rosenblatt Stadium, where your final score is LSU 11, and Texas 4.
