"You ain't gotta leave the house to have a good time/ I'mma bring the good time home to you..."

Following a disappointing loss in the NCAA Women’s College World Series, the University of Florida Gators were forced to mentally reboot in order to overtake the tough University of Michigan Wolverines during the nerve-wracking final game of the season in Oklahoma City. To re-energize and come back together as a solid unit, the women transformed their trusty Gator bus into a party on wheels, blasting Sam Hunt‘s infectious tune “House Party.”

The Sam Hunt-infused approach must have worked, the University of Florida Gators won the game 4-1 and took home the NCAA Women’s College World Series championship for the second consecutive year. Congratulations, ladies!
