The Egg Bowl. What a goofy name for something that so many people in Mississippi take so seriously. Have you ever just taken a step back and thought, “huh, what a goofy ass name for this thing?”
Because I do.
All the time. I mean, I get the history, but it doesn’t change the fact that I think about how odd of a name it is. And it’s not like “The Battle for The Golden Egg” is really any better.
It’s goofy too.
It’s iconic, in it’s own way, though. Not in the way that the “Iron Bowl” is.
