CELEBRATE A WIN: Patrick Mahomes explodes with joy after Texas Tech’s shocking win over Oklahoma—Epic reaction goes viral as fans say Chiefs star nearly lost his mind in unbelievable college baseball thriller…
When it comes to supporting his alma mater, Texas Tech University, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is as passionate as they come. While his professional life is dominated by Super Bowl triumphs, his college loyalties run deep, and a recent, unbelievable college baseball thriller – or rather, a softball thriller – saw the NFL superstar unleash an epic reaction that has since gone viral, with fans declaring he “nearly lost his mind” in the nail-biting finish.
The game in question was the Women’s College World Series (WCWS) semifinal on Monday, June 2, 2025, a showdown between Mahomes’ beloved No. 12 Texas Tech Red Raiders and the seemingly invincible No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners, who were chasing an unprecedented fifth consecutive national championship. What unfolded was a drama-filled contest that kept spectators, including Mahomes, on the edge of their seats until the very last pitch.
Texas Tech, making its first-ever WCWS appearance, had held a steady 2-0 lead for much of the game, thanks to a masterful pitching performance by NiJaree Canady. The Red Raiders were just one strike away from a historic victory, poised to dethrone the reigning champions and advance to the championship series. Then, in a moment of pure, heart-stopping drama, Oklahoma’s Abigale Dayton hit a two-run, game-tying home run with two outs in the top of the seventh inning.
For any fan, this would have been a gut-wrenching turn of events. For a fiercely loyal alum like Mahomes, who was undoubtedly glued to his screen, it was an emotional rollercoaster. His initial reaction, captured in a now-viral social media post, was a terse, “!! !! !!” conveying a mix of disbelief and frustration at the sudden shift in momentum.
But Texas Tech was not to be denied. In the bottom of the seventh, the Red Raiders rallied. With runners on second and third, Lauren Allred stepped up to the plate and delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly to right field. Mihyia Davis, a blur of motion from third base, tagged up and beat the throw home with a head-first slide, securing the shocking 3-2 victory for Texas Tech and ending Oklahoma’s dynastic run.
The immediate aftermath saw an explosion of pure joy from Mahomes. His follow-up tweet, all in caps, perfectly encapsulated the raw emotion of the moment: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!! @TexasTechSB” accompanied by a GIF of a waving Texas Tech flag. Fans instantly recognized the unbridled passion, sharing and retweeting his reaction thousands of times. Comments flooded in, with many echoing the sentiment that the Chiefs’ star “nearly lost his mind” watching the unbelievable college softball thriller.
Mahomes’ reaction resonated deeply because it highlighted his genuine, unvarnished fandom. Despite his own immense success and composure under pressure on the NFL’s biggest stages, he reacts to his alma mater’s athletic contests with the same intensity and unfiltered emotion as any other devoted fan. This relatable aspect of his personality further endears him to the public. He’s not just a detached celebrity; he’s a true Red Raider, experiencing every high and low with his beloved school.
This epic victory sends Texas Tech to the WCWS championship series against in-state rival Texas, a matchup that promises even more fireworks. And while Patrick Mahomes will be busy with Chiefs’ OTAs, one can be certain he’ll be keenly following every pitch, ready to unleash another viral reaction should his Red Raiders continue their improbable run. His uninhibited joy is a powerful reminder that even for the greatest athletes in the world, the love for their college roots remains a pure, unadulterated passion.
