Which came first, the football or the egg?
In Mississippi, if someone tells you to “Go to Hell!” it’s time for a ball game. And not just any old ball game, either; it’s time for the most fierce and infamous matchup in the state. It’s time for an Egg Bowl.
Next Saturday, the Rebels and the Bulldogs will face off in the state’s favorite and most heated rivalry. Ole Miss will be defending its two-year winning streak and leads the series 63-43-6. It will be the teams’ 113th meeting, their 89th Egg Bowl and the topic of Thanksgiving dinner conversations, maybe even arguments, for SEC fans across the nation.
