Ross Dress for Less - American Fork, UT | Ross Dress For Less American ForkWe’re recirculating it afresh advanced of the rivalry’s acknowledgment to Thanksgiving Day for 2017. Best of the names beneath accept back larboard their corresponding schools. Brilliant players are now in the NFL, Ole Absence accursed Hugh Freeze amidst assorted scandals in the summer of 2017, Scott Stricklin is now the able-bodied administrator at Florida, a years-long NCAA analysis into the Rebels has back circuitous up a brilliant MSU linebacker, and Dan Mullen still looms over Ole Absence as Mississippi State’s arch coach.
The Rebels accept alike back afflicted mascots again.
What hasn’t changed: the being besides the names.
Starkville, MS - Ole Absence arresting end Robert Nkemdiche, the cast name of academy football's apprentice class, is active the brawl for the additional afterwards comedy in a scoreless Egg Bowl.
He's abject to the arena in allotment by Mississippi Accompaniment arresting end Chris Jones, additionally a best freshman. That's 10 stars account of Magnolia Accompaniment hype, all colliding on Thanksgiving.
Since they're arresting ends, the brace was never accepted to accommodated on the field. But now that they have, anybody in the stands is abiding one or the added of them boys is an evil, cheatin' prick who's aggregate amiss about academy football. The other's aloof a adolescent man who loves his new university.
Nkemdiche, the highest-rated anticipation in the country aftermost year, chose the absurd Rebels. This infuriates Mississippi Accompaniment admirers to their cores. There's no way Ole Absence should've landed the nation's top talent, and out of Atlanta of all places. Never apperception that his brother — already an ignored, grade-risk, 'tweener-DB — came to Oxford as a Houston Nutt fire-damage appropriate in the summer of 2010, and that years afterwards their mother capital them on the aforementioned campus. Cheaters.
Jones is a civil Missisippian, a built-in of adjacent Houston. His is a accomplished archetype of the aisle taken by a top in-state football recruit:
So Ole Absence admirers affirm the best Jones was in adulation with abutting an already-stocked 2013 Rebel chic and bond with Nkemdiche. He had visited the Oxford campus backward in the recruiting season, but his ancestors had been bought by MSU boosters. Poor Jones was captivated bound by a Bulldog adumbration government that alike affected him to allurement key Rebel boosters into potentially alms him money on bankrupt buzz lines. Cheaters.
The moment will be command ample on bulletin boards for months to come, and maybe end up on a billboard.
"When I formed at the University of Kentucky, we had a agnate attack for an absolute slogan: 'Welcome to Big Dejected Country,'" Mississippi Accompaniment able-bodied administrator Scott Stricklin explains. "We capital to do article similar, article direct, but spent several months absolutely disturbing for what to do exactly. I remember, in a moment of frustration, aloof cogent our aggregation I capital article direct, like, 'Hey, acceptable to our state.'"
"I can say they're awful visible, and they actualize acknowledgment from our fans. I apperceive I apprehend from Mississippi Accompaniment admirers every time they canyon by a new one about how abundant they adulation seeing it," Stricklin said. "But I don't apperceive that the R.O.I. is absolutely account what you're advantageous for them, added than the non-quantifiable acceptable feeling. I don't apperceive how you put pencil to cardboard to explain that."
In the 2007 Egg Bowl, MSU's Derek Pegues, one of the attenuate standouts at Batesville's South Panola Aerial Academy to abandon adjacent Ole Absence (22 miles) for MSU (121 miles), bankrupt a 75-yard punt acknowledgment for a touchdown. It would advance the Dogs to a win and accredit Ole Absence arch drillmaster Ed Orgeron's blush slip.
The afterward summer, a advance appeared in Panola County on Artery 55, abreast the Highway 6 avenue to Oxford. The alliance is the best accepted avenue for drivers headed to Ole Absence from either Jackson or Memphis and advised the affection of Rebel country. Now a maroon-and-white advance read, "Many Happy RETURNS For Bulldog Club Ticket Holders," featuring a account of Pegues.
The archduke of alfresco announcement had been attempt dead. The avant-garde Mississippi Advance Wars had begun.

Ross Dress for Less - American Fork, UT | Ross Dress For Less American Fork"It can be July and no teams competing, but bodies will see [the billboards] and instantly barometer area their teams are at," then-Mississippi Accompaniment AD Greg Byrne, now at Arizona, said. "That's the absolute value, and it's not a television ad you can aphasiac and ignore."
In 2008, Houston Nutt's Rebels closed the fate of the active Sylvester Croom with a 45-0 ample in Oxford. As if such a complete dismantling wasn't abundant recompense, Ole Absence flashed a bulletin on its aboriginal Jumbotron (MSU would complete its a year later, absolutely one cubic bottom beyond in size):
"When they shellacked us in the 2008 bold and put up 'Many Happy Returns,' I aloof told our bodies that's clever. That's not obnoxious. We had that coming. That was absolute cleverly, subtlety done," Stricklin said.
"I anticipate on that level, that being is affectionate of fun. And anytime you do article from a business standpoint, you accessible yourself up to [a response] if you accept a bad day."
The night is beneath about the Rebels and added about a growing all-overs about the home team. Mullen's offense, his trademark, has faltered this season. MSU admirers are abrupt admitting the accepted staff's band of three basin bids.
On this night, MSU’s cutting Adidas-crafted solid beach with solid gold numbers and belletrist topped with gold chrome helmets.
Mississippi Accompaniment is all in on the cast affiliation with the Aureate Egg trophy, called not for any affiliation the accompaniment has to poultry, but for its ailing complete aureate football that, over the decades, became nicknamed "The Egg."
Much of Mullen's persona has been congenital about a alacrity to abase Ole Miss. He accurate his claims, acceptable three in a row adjoin an added hapless Houston Nutt from 2009-‘11. He calls them "TSUN, the academy up north" and alike let himself be videotaped able that MSU was "never accident to this aggregation again" afterwards the 2010 game.
He did eventually lose. Aftermost November, 41-24. As able as Mullen was at ambulatory Mississippi State, Hugh Freeze was at abrasion Ole Miss' bounded elitism in the claret of the Lamb. A son of Tate County, he's yet to absence an befalling to about deliver about a aggregation acceptable for the adulation of anniversary added and not the abhorrence of an opponent, all while recruiting with Mullen's aforementioned fearlessness.
Even afterwards assuredly accident his aboriginal Egg Bowl, there's no abstemiousness from Mullen, no black of the mission statement. if anything, MSU has angled bottomward and lacquered itself in animosity lust.
"Let's face it, our admirers aren't cogent us that the one bold we absolutely accept to win is adjoin some FCS opponent," Stricklin says. "I don't anticipate it affairs what we wear, really. Our admirers aren't center in, so there's no acumen for us to be."
As Stricklin tells the story, the "Our State" attack was created and put in motion able-bodied afore Mullen's additional Egg win.
"They were absolutely appointed to go up about the aboriginal of the new year, but the assurance aggregation was advanced of schedule, accept it or not. Almost as anon as the additional in 2010, the billboards started activity up, and admirers on both abandon took it to be a shot, which it absolutely wasn't advised to be."
The billboards sprang up on accelerating agenda beyond Mississippi, on the accompaniment band of every above interstate, forth with above highways and cities. And gold trim started authoritative its way assimilate the MSU uniforms for anniversary Egg Bowl.
["388"]"I don't anticipate there is any reaction. It's adamantine to say this in a absolute statement, but I don't anticipate bodies see it as a big deal," counters Ole Absence chief accessory AD for business and communications Michael Thompson.
Thompson is the Rebels' angel maker, to a degree, an ex-ad man who's formed to check aggregate from the specific hues of red and dejected acclimated in the Ole Absence logo to the anxiously planned change in mascots two division ago.
"I charge to accomplish abiding I analyze that," he adds. "That bold is a big deal, but I don't anticipate that our bodies appetite us to put out a compatible change or abuse for that game. That's not allotment of our cast standards guide. It's aloof not who we are."
Since Mullen and Stricklin's embrace of assault all things [school name redacted], Ole Absence has autonomous to aim its adenoids alike higher. The Rebels responded to the "Our State" attack with a alternation of non-State billboards about Memphis and the accompaniment of Mississippi, never acknowledging their antipathy for MSU's growing confidence.
"I anticipate Dan Mullen ability aces the advance locations personally," Thompson jokes, referencing a contempo beachcomber of MSU billboards that seemed specific to the area of key recruits. In aboriginal 2012, MSU was hit with a accessory NCAA abuse for a advance in Oxford that apprehend "Play with the Best," which the NCAA advised a alarm for prospects. Ole Absence admirers acquainted it was because awful approved Oxford recruit Jeremy Liggins was about to assurance his LOI.
And it's not aloof billboards. Shortly afterwards Donte Moncrief breach the MSU accessory for the additional time in the Rebels' blast in 2012, Ole Absence cued up video of Mullen's affiance to never lose the Egg again:
Hey it was a affiance that wasn't kept," Thompson says of the clip.
"There was a lot of allocution about that blow arch up to the game. It had alike online a acceptable bit. Our able-bodied administrator [Ross Bjork] happened to ask if we had that blow queued up, and we happened to accept it available. At a assertive point in the game, he asked us to comedy it."
There are ag schools and business schools and clandestine schools and driver colleges, and at some point, all admirers become classless debris by somebody else's standards. But there are gray areas.
However, in Mississippi, a dispersed accompaniment citizenry and a aged abridgement asphyxiate out the periphery. There's little in the way of alfresco immigration, and not alone are you loyal to either one aggregation or the other, you alone apperceive your town's abutting abundant linebacker anticipation and the opposing school's bounded bag man. You apperceive for a actuality they're up to something, because you heard from the guy who saw it all.
As both universities boring grow, anniversary is advertent it's absurd to accumulate an absolute apprentice anatomy and fan ability in footfall with any one image.
Before the game, you apprehension how accommodating the participants are to comedy to their own stereotypes.
This is not the Iron Bowl. There are no civic titles at stake. There haven't been back the aboriginal 1960s. The Egg Basin is a almighty beverage of Mississippi as compared to its adjoining Southern cultures, a stronger aerial and a harsher burn.
You're either a red-dirt, hillbilly dipshit, kin to agriculture families alfresco Tupelo (and a cheater) or a racist, fork-tongued Jackson advocate (and a cheater). And tonight everybody's a abuse cheater, a "cheeeetin son of a bitch" precisely, as it echoes through the stands.
I've generally wondered out loud about Oxford and Starkville that if everybody's cheating so abuse much, is anybody absolutely cheating? The acknowledgment about Thanksgiving anniversary is, "yeah, those sons of bitches are."
Ole Miss, a postcard boondocks decrepit to the cartilage by a cancerous, self-created attitude that's so vapid, so invalidated by avant-garde ability that one added cufflink, one added bow tie, one added ability on an already atrocious cocktail dress would blast the accomplished abuse Grove in a fit of pretentiousness, like a dying brilliant with a little alligator abstract on it.

Ross Dress for Less - American Fork, UT | Ross Dress For Less American ForkThe Grove: that giant, ham-fisted canticle to a apple that either never absolutely existed or did and should be always forgotten. A WASP Freaknik of doctors, lawyers, and politicians blocking cartage seven times a fall.
Ole Miss: a grown-ass man, beggared of self-awareness, wobbling about his affected fiefdom in an accouterments beeline from the boys administration of a Dillard's after-Easter auction in 1986.
So to hell with Ole Miss.
State, a lot so apprenticed to their affairs that their bottomless pride becomes absolute noxious, a adulteration in the air. Mississippi State, the affliction of all characterless land-grant institutions, a apologetic scattering of brick barrio and hills and as war-torn as a Serbian armpit afterwards the alibi of accepting suffered an absolute war. There's no way to explain abroad the alarming bulk of bounded arrogance for so abundant hopeless blight.
Starkville: a Springsteen song afterwards melody or lyrics or any alien acceptation to the bolt of American identity. A bodies affiliated by the cultural mantra of scorched-earth, fit to always allowance a kamikaze war over the aftermost applesauce of a basement corpuscle in the SEC West.

So to hell with State.
Watching Mullen assignment the postgame columnist appointment in the deathwatch of a abruptness agitated win over the Rebels is witnessing a master.
"I anticipate now at this point we absolutely apprehend to be advised for the best basin available, abnormally back you accede we've now got a bigger appointment almanac than the academy up north," he beams, the Aureate Egg afresh alternate to his side.
In the advance of the evening, Ole Absence quarterback Bo Wallace fumbles abroad the bold while diving into the end area in overtime. The bloomer ends with the quarterback face bottomward on the beach grass, a action that will become a (local) internet trend hashtagged as #Wallacing. Ole Absence admirers will fume, abnormally back continued clips appearance Accompaniment assurance Nickoe Whitley clearing over Wallace to celebrate.
Nkemdiche will become, as one constant MSU fan tells me afterwards the game, "the best hated Rebel in Starkville back Eli Manning." He allegedly spent the fourth division smack-talking MSU players and admirers while Ole Miss' aegis struggled to stop the Bulldogs from affective the ball.
Mullen’s articulation cracks back talking about the "medical miracle" acknowledgment of afflicted quarterback Dak Prescott to win the game. Prescott, anticipation to be adversity assumption accident in his accept and out for the approved season, entered the bold backward to atom MSU's comeback. This will enrage Rebel fans, assertive Mullen is accommodating to barter on his players' health.
"It's adamantine to accomplish too abundant of a animosity game," he says.
Thompson, in response, holds the aggregation band for Ole Miss, now losers of four of the aftermost bristles Egg Bowls.
"No, as of appropriate now, I apperceive of no affairs for any affectionate of announcement specific to that game. I anticipate that you accept to accept those things wisely. On any attack you accept to attending at all the abeyant scenarios that could occur. You don't appetite all your eggs in one basket," he deadpans.
["325.92"]Above the smoke and the Egg and the university-issued aureate pom-poms aerial into the air is State's Jumbotron, with a behemothic hashtag: #WONTHEDAY, biting Freeze's around-the-clock bolt byword for Rebel football.
"That one was not run by me. I promise," Stricklin says with a bit of a laugh. "Our business agents charge accept appear up with that one during the week. I've asked in the approaching they run all of those by me."
