Tim Elko And Ole Miss Just Kept 'Believing' They Could Win It All Through Adversity

Omaha, NE- The word 'belief' can be a strong word to rely on when you're going through some of the toughest times of your career, especially when you're questioning the decisions you've made. This point was made by Ole Miss first baseman Tim Elko as he sat at the podium, answering questions about just winning a national championship.

It was after a loss to instate rival Mississippi State where Elko made a phone call to his sister, asking her the tough questions on what was currently going on with his ball club. There was a point in the season where the Rebels were 7-14 and clinging to postseason life, but his sister kept hammering home one word: believe.

Now, that's easier said than done, but for the veteran Elko, it was a word he kept preaching to his teammates during a trying time.
