The Mississippi State Diamond Dawgs completed a season that will not soon be forgotten. One thing many fans wonder is how this team, which struggled so badly for the first half of the season, became one of the best teams in the country down the stretch. Could it have been all the adversity the teamed faced from the start?
To show the full picture of this debacle we have to go back to the beginning of fall training where the bulldogs could not practice on their home field due to the new stadium construction. Instead they had to travel to Jackson Mississippi to conduct scrimmages against one another.
