Hope everyone complaining about the egg bowl is happy now

This. On the most recent Thanksgiving game, I was the only one in the house with the Egg Bowl on. Everyone else was watching the NFL game.

Well technically we did tell the SEC what we wanted. We said we did not want to play on Thanksgiving anymore and got our wish.

Well shit... that is my golf time.

We'll be there no matter the date or time. Want to be featured in a better time slot or date? Don't go 2-10 the previous season, 2-2 in OOC and 0-8 in the SEC. Will we even get to fire up our LED lights this season? Do they work at 11:00 AM?

I think it will all work out as long as om has an equally tough/easy game the week before as the DOGS. For years it always bothered me the years Dogs had a brutal SEC game and they always seemed to have a patsy........maybe my memory is just shot. I guess until the DOGS become a viable physical ball team again it probably won’t matter.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I'm pretty sure we played East Tennessee State before playing the Egg Bowl in 2022 while Ole Miss had Arkansas on the road. I definitely remember years where it was the other way around too.

That is another thing I didn't like about playing on Thanksgiving- it essentially gave both teams one less practice day a week to prepare for what is basically the biggest game in Mississippi. And yeah I know we focused some on Ole Miss the week we played ETSU but it's another distraction.

Would have been better if both teams had a bye week the Saturday before the Egg Bowl which would have given the players on both sides more time to rest and prepare for the Egg Bowl.

With it being on Friday or Saturday no it's not as big a deal.
