Men’s College World Series: Magical ride ends in first title for Ole Miss Rebels. It feels like sitting in the concourse of a ballpark you’d never been to before this day, 600 miles from home, wearing an Ole Miss baseball jersey T-shirt and sobbing openly, so overwhelmed you can’t even stand up and watch the trophy celebration happening on the field below. NHL Colorado Avalanche Champs 2021-22 Stanley Cup Champions Unisex T-Shirt, That’s how it was for Ed Thompson of Memphis, Tennessee, who drove through the night Saturday to be in Omaha for Game 2 of the Men’s College World Series finals, the game they won 4-2 over Oklahoma to ice that title. “I saw them win Game 1 and I just stood up off the damn couch and started driving. I got me a ticket and I ain’t telling you how much I paid,” he choked up, “but it was damn worth it.” How does it feel to see your school finally win its first officially recognized men’s national championship — in anything — since the school fielded its first football team in 1893?
It feels like leaning over the left-field grandstand railing, waving a $100 bill at the Charles Schwab Field grounds crew, or anyone else who might be interested in earning a Benjamin for filling their empty stadium cup with some red warning-track dirt or maybe even a few blades of grass.
That’s how it was for Lynn and Terry Becker, who cashed in vacation days to come to Omaha late last week. “I want to put some in a jar on my desk,” Terry said. “She wants to sprinkle it all in her flower bed.”
How does it feel to watch your team go from being ranked No. 1 in the nation to falling out of the rankings like a balloon with no air, drop to 7-14 in SEC play and have the fan base and media calling for the head coach’s job? Then, go from being one of the last four teams invited into the 64-team NCAA baseball tournament to being the last team standing?
It feels like standing on your seat and holding your baby, born in the midst of that season, knowing she won’t remember it but that you can tell her later that she witnessed what generations of Ole Miss fans never had before. All amid chants of that coach’s name, belted by a decidedly powder blue-clad crowd of 25,972. “MIKE BI-AN-CO!” Clap clap clap-clap-clap!
That’s how it was for the Lincoln family of Hattiesburg. As father Jack held his infant girl aloft “Lion King”-style, he joined in the cheer and confessed, “Yeah, okay, back in May I wanted him fired, too.”
It feels like a 40-something-year-old man jumping into the air and trying to catch confetti as a gust of Nebraska wind sent it into the bleachers. It feels like taking selfies with your grandpa in his “OleMAHA” baseball cap while he talks about Archie Manning against Alabama. It feels like not-so-patiently standing in line for $40 “Ole Miss NCAA Men’s College World Series” championship T-shirts just pulled from boxes tucked from behind the counters of the NCAA’s official souvenir stands.
It feels good. It feels even better than expected because it wasn’t expected.
“That’s the best part of it,” explained pitcher Dylan DeLucia, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the series despite not pitching in the finals. “No one thought we could do this. Even after we won Saturday night [to take a 1-0 lead over Oklahoma] it was still out there. That makes this even better to us. That’s what makes this group so special.”

Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche lifts the Stanley Cup after defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game Six of the 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Final at Amalie Arena on June 26, 2022 in Tampa,
The Colorado Avalanche won their first Stanley Cup Final in 21 years on Sunday when Nathan MacKinnon scored one goal and set up another to spark a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay.
The Avalanche captured the National Hockey League’s best-of-seven championship series four games to two for Colorado’s third NHL crown after 1996 and 2001.
“It feels like disbelief,” MacKinnon said. “It’s hard to describe. To see all these warriors battle, it’s unbelievable. Words can’t describe what I feel right now.”
With the emotional road triumph, the Avalanche denied the Lightning a third consecutive title and fourth overall.
Colorado defenseman Cale Makar was named winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Makar, a 23-year-old Canadian, scored eight goals and added 21 assists in 19 playoff games.
“All the work these guys have put in, it’s just so awesome to be part of them getting rewarded,” Makar said. “I’m just so proud of the boys.”
He smiled as he looked at the Stanley Cup.
“You see that thing as a kid, grow up with pictures of it on the wall,” Makar said. “It’s surreal. It’s amazing.”
Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos opened the scoring 3:48 into the first period off an assist from Czech left wing Ondrej Palat. It was the Canadian center’s career-best 11th goal of the playoff run.
MacKinnon netted the equalizer 1:54 into the second period, an angled shot just inside the near post for his 13th goal of the playoffs.
The Avalanche seized the lead by the final margin with 7:32 remaining in the second period on a goal from Finnish left wing Artturi Lehkonen, his eighth of the post-season, off a pass from Canadian center MacKinnon.
The Lightning pulled goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy in the dying seconds for an extra attacker to try and score an equalizer, but could not stop the Avalanche from hoisting the Stanley Cup.
Colorado players dropped their sticks to the ice and hurled their gloves into the air to begin their celebration after the final second ticked off the clock.
In a trophy ceremony minutes later, Colorado players took turns lifting the trophy over their heads and passing it to teammates, many pausing to kiss the hardware as they skated around the ice.
Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog thought of those who helped nurture his championship dreams as he skated with the Cup, his dream made real.
“That’s 20-plus years of dreaming and wanting it and working for it,” the Swedish left wing said. “It’s the culmination of a lot of years and working for it. It’s incredible. I still can’t believe it.”
“They just want to win so bad and do whatever it takes, and it all adds up and makes us a hard team to play against,” he said.
“The expectations we put on ourselves to be great, to work on ourselves. We had eight or nine come-from-behind wins. That’s hard to do.”
The only team in NHL history to trail 3-1 and rally to win the Stanley Cup Final, as the Lightning attempted to do, was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs.
