While Oregon State was able to snag the victory late after late game heroics, it was was the Arkansas Razorback fans that filled TD Ameritrade Park Wednesday.
"It's big to our state because we don't have a pro team so everything from the football team, the basketball team, and especially now the baseball team have a big following, you'll see that tonight, you saw that last night."
Arkansas fans came to Nebraska in droves today, with TAC Air saying that 80-100 private jets flew into Omaha for the chance to see the Hogs win their first ever CWS.
"I mean it's not like we have been there to watch all the times that they haven't won it. And this is one time they do get to go and win it and do it would just be really cool if they did," Wit Griffin, Arkansas fan.
