Cool Relief at Titan House
Diana Lee Roemer continues her report after the Titan's loss to Oregon State.
Midnight, Saturday
Omaha is alive, a giant party in mid-June where tens of thousands are crowding into almost every available space to revel in the annual culmination of D1 baseball. Every shadow is consumed by someone's sweaty body seeking relief. The Roemer-Thorn clan pressed into the mess. We turned over five G.A. tickets to attend the UC Irvine / Arizona State game, only to find our cross-town rivals on the same sad end of the score we would be at later and more worse for the wear, tiring of the sun by the 5th inning and collapsing on couches at the best thing about Omaha: The Titan House.
Forget baseball, the Titan House is the best part of the trip and a lifesaver for those of us seeking relief from the incredible heat here. I don't know who all these fans and alumni are that make the Titan House go around but they're doing an incredible job. We got to see the team after the game at the house – Titan alums had cooked chicken, brats and ribs, and the boys seem ready to face Irvine Monday.
Four top teams, two close games, another climb from the basement for our boys after a 3-2 nailbiter. Let's hope Monday goes a little better.
And now, we play each other.
