The biggest day on the sports calendar in the Magnolia State could be moving to Thanksgiving Day, according to Ole Miss Athletic Director Ross Bjork.

Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork says on Finebaum he and Scott Stricklin are in talks to move the Egg Bowl to Thanksgiving on a more regular basis

The huge rivalry game had national implications last season, as both teams entered the game ranked in the top-20. 

Now that both programs have had excellent coaches in place for several years, Dan Mullen at Mississippi State and Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss, anticipation and attention for the Egg Bowl should only continue to rise on the national radar.
