The Egg Bowl, officially known as the Battle for the Golden Egg, is the annual game between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The game got its name from the trophy the teams play for, The Golden Egg.
The Golden Egg was first introduced to the rivalry in 1927, according to Ole Miss. When Ole Miss broke a 13-game losing streak in the series by winning the 1926 game, the Rebel fans stormed the field in hopes of taking down the goal post, according to Ole Miss. This led to fans of then-Mississippi A&M getting upset and a brawl breaking out with chairs being thrown, according to Ole Miss.
