Belle Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If the Dawgs win this series we'll be back to the College World Series and I'll be there with my little brother to cheer 'em on! GO DAWGS!! Mississippi State plays host to Clemson in a best-of-three series starting Friday with a trip to Omaha on the line. And the fans are responding. Lines snaked out of the MSU ticket office for much of Tuesday, and order takers were swamped. "(They're) probably as excited as they've been in several, several years," said Templeton, who expects more than 10,000 fans for each game. Two wins will send the Bulldogs to the College World Series for the first time since 1998. One recent MSU grad, Camp Murphy of Flowood, said the postsesason run has reminded him of MSU's glory days, when it went to the College World Series six times and played in the postseason 16 times over a two-decade span. "Finally, it seems like we're getting back to where the majority of Mississippi State fans feel like we should be and where we were in the late 1980s," Murphy said. "Especially, given our athletic woes during football season, this is something to be proud about." He'll be celebrating it in the Left Field Lounge, the most famous area at Dudy Noble Field, the place Sports Illustrated once deemed the top spot in the country to watch college baseball.
