For the first time in program history, Mississippi State fans can ring cowbells with a ring on their finger.
Mississippi State won the College World Series this year, defeating Vanderbilt 9-0 in Game 3 to bring home the first team sport national championship in school history. This College World Series win is Mississippi State's first win in 12 trips and makes MSU the seventh current member of the SEC to win a College World Series.
"your lose the first game of this series, and you're sitting there and you know how bod our community, our school, our program wants this trophy," Mississippi State coach Chris Lemonis said. "We talked about it Saturday night, how it wouldn't be easy. When you're going to do something legendary for the first time, it's going to be tough. It's pretty surreal right now. But the reason we are champions right now is we're tough."
