The 2018 Egg Bowl is almost upon us. This year, the Mississippi State football team will meet up with the Ole Miss Rebels on the night of Thanksgiving yet again. The Bulldogs and Rebels have met up on Thanksgiving Day in recent years and it’s become something of a trend again for the two teams to meet up then.
There’s plenty of discussions surrounding whether or not the rivalry game should be played on Turkey Day with a key argument against the game being played then is how it affects fan attendance.
Students often leave town and head on home for the holiday.
