Washington, D.C. - Congressman Tom Cole (R-OK) introduced H. Res. 1500, which congratulates the University of Oklahoma men's baseball team on their College World Series National Championship. After introducing the resolution, Congressman Cole and Coach Skip Johnson released the following statements:

"As my fellow Oklahomans know, Coach Skip Johnson and the OU men's baseball team pulled off one of the most historic triumphs in NCAA baseball history this past season when they beat the University of North Carolina in the College World Series. After making it through the Atlanta Regional, our unranked Sooners ended up outscoring their remaining opponents 90 to 28 - and as a diehard OU fan, I am so proud. This is why I introduced House Resolution 1500, congratulating the team and recognizing the hard work that led to the Sooners victory," said Congressman Cole. "As always, Boomer!"

"We are appreciative of Chairman Cole and the House of Representatives, as well as the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents, for their unwavering support of our program. We felt the whole state behind us on our run to Omaha and the national championship. Just like the state of Oklahoma, our program is built on the values of hard work and commitment to something bigger than yourself. Our players bought in on the greater goal and the passion of our fan base was on display for the entire nation," said Coach Skip Johnson.
