Most folks don’t typically imagine Auburn vs. Mississippi State as a historic rivalry with drama to spare. But, in its own way, it kind of is. And we’re not just talking Cam-gate, though that definitely got a little nasty. No, Auburn’s beef with the ‘bell clan can technically be traced to the early days of the series.
In 1919, thanks to Mississippi State quarterback’s habit of jumping knee-first onto the heads of prostrated Auburn players, Auburn coach Mike Donahue called the Bulldogs the most unsportsmanlike team he’d ever seen and vowed that Auburn would never play them again as long as he was coach.
