Besides Auburn being in the same state, Tennessee Bama game has held much more weight on the history of the two programs in games. It is definitely a bigger rivalry than Egg Bowl and Deep South Rivlary. Only two games that could be ahead are the cocktail party and iron bowl. The Texas rivalries aren't really SEC rivalries. Theyve only been played on an SEC schedule one year lol

---

It depends how you define the actual rivalry. Historical significance as you said or a hatred that doesn’t ever stop. Neighbors that try to one up the other because of their school affiliation. Or when the rivalry starts turning you have beat writers working with attorneys for phone records of a head coach, or boosters hiring a PI in the late 90s to prove the other was cheating, even getting a coach fired from their job after a couple days because he got an assistant job at one of the feeder high schools that churn out D-1 guys. That coach was also a part in creating a message board and doing everything possible to bring down the other school. Many know who I’m referring to. One that not only fans engage in but also the teams regardless of where they came from and turns into at least a few scuffles if not a brawl.

A lot of Ole Miss fans say LSU is their biggest rival, but really it’s because they know it makes MS State fans going into a frenzy. Maybe if they didn’t grow up in the state it may be viewed that way. As far as all out hatred and bitterness the Egg Bowl is probably up there at the top.

I told me 9 year old the other day in the deer blind that we don't have much longer before he is required to be back in the woods with me. I am God awful at calling and turkey hunting in general. Just started a few years back. But I am pumped to get out there and try again this year. My office is in a "downtown" area of a smaller city in the BR area. Someone in that area that has their personal residence recently started raising turkeys at the house as pets, and I walked outside week before last hearing a turkey gobble and the hair stood up on my neck

---

I can’t wait to take my boy. He’s still got a couple of years but I’ve heard them gobble in the deer stand this year and it’s like my mind flips. Nothing better. Good luck to ya’ll this year

Obviously early but in the little time he’s played and the drive that saved the Georgia game this guy looks a lot like another qb from a few years back.

I agree with you on the 3 games you chose as your favorite but obviously for opposite reasons. 2003 for obvious reasons, undefeated in SEC play, etc. This year because of the lead almost the entire game and the missed points in the 1st quarter. It sucks because it looked like Ole Miss was the better team and pulled an Ole Miss. 2014 teams were fairly similar and played a close game and probably had an effect the following week losing to Auburn and getting drilled by Arkansas then TCU in the bowl game

Yep. 3 nights for the Oklahoma weekend a guy got $11k for an air bnb.

Kiffin was better. A big part of Sark's success came down to having two elite QBs in Tua and Mac Jones.

This. People forget Kiffin had Blake Sims, Jake Coker, and a freshman Jalen Hurts as his quarterbacks

That 2019 4-8 stings on these charts

It fricking SUCKS that y'all don't have Judkins anymore

Freshman Judkins I agree. Last year’s version that self centered, whiny, and had his own OL not wanting to even pick him up off the field, I’m good. Had 3 more carries in ‘22 than ‘23 while having 409 more yards. Average dropped from 5.7 to 4.3 YPC. Total tds were the same but if you look at the drive summaries for the games, he was getting a lot of 1-3 yard tds as opposed to some of the longer runs as a freshman.

He was still very productive but after the Peach Bowl performance watching how the players were around him, and during the game you could tell something wasn’t right.

I won’t worry about a specific RB with Kiffin as head coach. Ole Miss has finished top 5 in the SEC in rushing every year since he’s been there with last year being the worst at 5th. Prior to that Ole Miss was #1 in 2020, #3 in 2021, and #1 in 2022

Pick a year for the Egg Bowl. ‘97 was the best. 2018 was pretty good since it started with AJ Brown and Jonathan Abram with a freshman Matt Corral trying to get in it and have a State player save him from a beating. Multiple players had to leave the game but only ones that had no involvement in it. Refs couldn’t get the players numbers right for either team when they were being ejected

What ever happened to DJ? Never even hear of the guy now. Guy was like World #1-2 for a few years then dipped to LIV and made that money and he is irrelevant in these American tournaments now.

Got his money and doesn’t care anymore. Probably spends his time snorting coke off of Paulina’s tits. Time and money well spent.
