What used to be true about the egg

Bowl:

When emotions were the only determining factors notwithstanding a gust of wind and a former ticket manager ref, in the eggbowl, you could tell early who had the emotional advantage in the game.

Anyone think that will be the case tomorrow?

I think if either team falls behind by two possessions they'll begin to falter. Three possessions and it's over. There just isn't that much to play for, for either team. If both come out fired up we'll be in for a good game. I no longer have delusions of OM winning by four scores.

Neither team has the talent to make up for coming out flat and getting whipped early.

Uhh, isn't TSUN playing for a bowl berth?

Sure. But at the end of the day its still going to be a hollow victory for either team. many times in the 80s one team was playing for the hall of shame or poulan weed eater bowl. What is at stake really is the misery of the other fanbase. The rest is window dressing

I couldn't give a **** about that bowl game. The extra practices would be nice, but firing the whole defensive staff would be much nicer. Perhaps Freeze can convince the team that the bowl game matters, but it doesn't matter.

Actually the last two years we came out playing like we didn't give a crap in the egg bowl. Team looked like they weren't prepared and didn't have any fire like it used to be.

Fine. I'll bite, Jung. What kind of psychology / sociology lesson is behind your change of Avatar.

Herd instinct

Or, random misfirings of neurons.
Who the hell knows.

Strangers to ourselves.

Freeze puts more of an emphasis on the egg bowl than Mullen and has overperformed in that game compared to the rest of their season. Mullen has downplayed the game since the firing of Nutt. I really don't understand why, but he definitely has.

I expect more of the same tomorrow. Freeze knows his cult needs a common enemy and rally point. They will come out with their hair on fire and we will come out for tea and crumpets.

I hate to agree but I think you are right.

Birmingham Bowl for the 2nd time in 5 years for Rev. Freezus Christ...sigh.

I hate to tell Mullen, but beating Ole Miss is one of our expectations... he will go on the PIP if he doesn't win this year...

15-20 over 3-4. Bowl ban of some kind. No show cause for Freeze, but we have to buy out Sirmon's contract, hire him, and build his family a house in Memphis using the opportunity fund. These are JungRebel's predicitions.

And now, to be fair, there was nothing cryptic about the avatar answer. If we're all being honest...

Two ****** teams playing for the golden egg. Just like the mid 2000s egg bowls. Except now basketball is no longer a bright spot for MSU
