The primary players behind the groups that stage the College World Series said virtually everything went right, leaving only a few tweaks and maybe a couple of trims to consider for the event’s second year at its new home in downtown Omaha.
It has gone amazingly well, said Dennis Poppe, the NCAA’s vice president of baseball and football.
Everything went right, actually, said Jack Diesing Jr., president of CWS of Omaha, Inc.
From everything I’m hearing, it went well, said Roger Dixon, president of the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority.
In separate interviews as the CWS wrapped up, the three said not all reviews are in. The NCAA will ask participating coaches for detailed critiques, as they do each year.

The race to be named “Summer Song 2011″ is in full heat. The contenders come from a mix of proven performers and relative newcomers. And the prize is that the tune will be blasted at pool parties, barbecues and road trips well into August (or until everyone is good and sick of it). So what will wind up being remembered as the season’s definitive song? Here are five tunes vying for the honor.
‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)’, Katy Perry
She’s only been in the pop music game since 2007, yet one could make a convincing case that Perry already ranks as one of the all-time-best Summer Song artists.
