It's Egg Bowl week. What does that mean? It means one of two things: 1) Mississippi fans having 51 weeks of bragging rights or 2) Mississippi fans not acknowledging you if you bring up the game their team just lost.
So let's jump into some of my Egg Bowl moments.
The first one in Oxford (1992), we get in the stadium and head to our section. As we walk up the aisle, we can't find the row number on any of the rows. We ask a guy sitting near us how he could tell he was on the right row and he said he had to count from the bottom up because none of them are labeled. On our way up the section, I lean over to tie my shoe and find the row numbers. They are on the steps. The steps are painted red. The numbers are painted red.
Seriously, This is what we saw.
(hint: highlight the above line)
Either '92 or '94 up there, after a score, a cheerleader is running the giant MSU flag around the stadium. When he passes behind the Mississippi bench, a couple of players run over and grab the flag, yanking it away from the cheerleader.
Tommy Tuberville proclaiming 'we whipped their butts' after edging MSU 15-14. I believe that was also the year he brought the team out during senior introductions.
Having to sit in their student section in '94 (or '96? geez, I can't remember nothing now).
Being there in '98. From the low of Colonel Reb running through the middle of our band's halftime performance to the high of Dicenzo scoring on a flare pass late in the game. I found a sweet picture of this play taken from the end zone. You can see Tubs in the background with his hands on his head.
'05 running around like a fool showing off my 'Ole Miss Sucks' shirt after J-Rock won the game. I still wish I had a camera so I could have taken a photo of the two chicks kissing to try and get me to give them my shirt.
Yeah, I don't like Mississippi, their team, coaches and some of their fans.
