Oddly, one of the games I’ve been most looking forward to this year is between two programs I’m largely indifferent towards: the Thanksgiving Egg Bowl.
This has always been one of the nastiest rivalries going, and rarely is the game a close one, but over the past few years, the stakes have been raised. To call this intrastate showdown acrimonious, would do a disservice to the word. These towns, these fans, these schools, the programs truly hate one another (Check out #EggBowlTwitter if you want the worst of the internet.) That seething anger was ratcheted up several hundred degrees with Narc Dan Mullen and his boys turning state’s evidence against Hoin’ Hugh and the Oxford Coterie of Corruption.
