Mississippi State overcomes tumultuous season to make unexpected postseason run

OMAHA, Neb. -- After his team's second win in the College World Series on Tuesday, Mississippi State interim coach Gary Henderson was asked about his team's plans for the upcoming days.

The Bulldogs (39-27), by virtue of starting 2-0 in the tournament, earned two days off before having to take the field again on Friday versus Oregon State (2 p.m. ET, ESPN). Henderson noted that his team would practice twice, then his voice trailed off. He was confused.

"Uh, I'll be honest with you," Henderson said to a reporter, puzzled. "What day is today?"

You'll have to forgive him.
