The Fans of Mississippi State Bulldogs had been witnessing the games of their team in the field for a long time – they have cheered with every victory that are achieved with efforts and mourned for every losses incurred. It was unfortunate to take note however that the history of the school didn’t manifest much victory as more of the losses were noted. The Bulldogs have been struggling in their performance in the football field since 1905, and for most people outside the state they are becoming a team that will not be of much concern to their opponents. Their fans can always be seen following their standings with high hopes that they will emerge and turn the tides of fortune in their favor.

Conference concerns
Taking a glance at Bulldogs’ history, you can conveniently say that they are just one of the teams that wouldn’t seem to pull it all together. Well, it will be wrong to say that. The truth is; Mississippi State is suffering from a disadvantage of a major concern; they are playing the NCAAs Southeastern Conference or (SEC). All football enthusiasts are aware that SEC has that reputation of being the strongest in the nations’ conferences historically speaking. It is dominated by motivated major league teams like the Louisiana State, Alabama and Florida; the SEC is comprised of difficult conferences which is makes success a difficult thing to achieve. The nations’ best players in high school want to play on teams that win regularly; that is why recruiting for Mississippi State is never easy.

For a high school superstar it is obvious that when being recruited in the SEC by teams that are not considered to be that famous in winning games it would be a turn off, especially those who want to make it big in the college ranks. Given an option to choose to play for a strong team that is outside of the SEC like Texas or the Ohio state, for example – or playing for the SEC teams that are considered to be weak like the Mississippi State; an average player would most likely to choose the Texas or Ohio state over the Mississippi State. Their thinking would be that it would be worthless to put an effort playing for a team that doesn’t seemed to have a chance in winning their conference title.
Will there be a change of tide?

The structure of the SEC in terms of team performance is seen by most analysts to stay the way they are as it was in the recent years – Louisiana State, Alabama and Florida competing over the Conference crown and for a Bowl Championship Series. The Bulldog fans see the radiance of the spirited team on their field practice. There are many factors that should make the bulldogs not lose hope, the combination of veteran and young talents on the field is a good start in the foreseen progress that the team will eventually accomplish.

The battlefield positioning however can often bewilder even the most optimistic forecast; Mississippi State will surely be sharing the same dilemma on the next season. Beginning with the selection of the quarterback; it is junior against freshmen the competition between Tyler Russell and Chris Relf is building up, and there is this vast predicament on running back, the final organization of the starting team has already been decided. One thing for sure though, the fans of the bulldogs will constantly occupy the stands cheering unconditionally for the team that is representing their school.
