If I remember correctly, there was a story going at that time that the team wasn't washing their uniforms throughout the entire CWS as a good luck thing. I bet those things were good and ripe by the time of the championship game.
I looked, yesterday, at the 1990 CWS bracket. I forgot that UGA lost the opening game of the CWS to Stanford.
This article has all of the regional brackets and the CWS bracket. It looks like they didn't have super-regionals back then.
Here's a good looking-back article on the 1990 CWS champions in the Red & Black.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Looks to me like they beat Mississippi State in the opener of the CWS
Nice article though, a bit of a different format today for sure.

Man. I need to pay closer attention. I just now went back and looked. Stanford beat Georgia SOUTHERN in the opener. Grrr....

Saw this article yesterday. Super Regionals weren't added until 1999

Interesting. One thing I did notice in looking at the 1990 regionals is that there were only 48 teams participating... 8 regionals with 6 teams in each regional (that's odd).
Now there are (I think?) 16 regionals with 4 teams in each, rounding out the 64 teams, which is more what I would have expected.
Good article, thanks for sharing that.

They need to go ahead and expand to 128 teams in the regionals. Everyone needs to get a trophy and feel good about themselves.

The national championship in 1990 was a single game between the winners of the two brackets. Some time later, it became best 2 of 3.

I forgot about that part, too. It was double-elimination to get to the championship, though, which is interesting.
