2020 Eggbowl

[bolddogge]

I ALWAYS go to the Eggbowl. My first one was back in 1978 when my folks took me down to Jackson for the game and to visit with family and their long-time friends. Regardless of the expectations or locations, I’ve watched the Eggbowl in person for the last 41 years (and my son the last 12). I’ve sat through a tornado warning, watched a field goal that was headed right at me be blown back through the uprights, pre-game fights, mid-game fights, post-game fights, fog roll in so thick you couldn’t see the opposite sideline, Croom’s last stand (the only game I’ve ever left early), and the great kick, pick and kick. Unfortunately, this COVID-19 junk has put our streaks in jeopardy. Although I fear the outcome, I’m doing my best to make it into the game this year. So if you know of anyone from the enemy camp with a couple of extra tickets, message me please. My son and I always behave ourselves in enemy territory so the source of the tickets don’t need to worry about sitting next to a couple of obnoxious drunks. Another plus is that I just found out from a blood donation that I have the covid antibodies. So they also don't have to worry about me giving them the 'rona and vice versa. I already posted in the ticket exchange and put a post on FB. Fingers are crossed…

The supply/demand will change based on the outcome of SC/UM this weekend. (if Covid doesn't win out)

If the cocks beat the sharks, your chances of finding tix increases.

There will be some on stubhub. Just a matter of how they finish if prices are reasonable.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

They gonna beat the crap out of us.

 

[oxfordrebel22]

I highly doubt it even happens, at this point

 

[Dawgbite]

I have serious doubts that we play another game this year. I doubt we have the minimum players available to play.

 

[Mafiadawg]

We need to just quit. We’ve literally gone woke and then broke.

Mr. Mafiadawg, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That would be fine with me! Keep my streak alive without having to go to Oxford in 2020.

Because the puppy was a dog. But the industy, my friend, that was a revolution. MSU football rules!!!

Sorry if this has been discussed, but am I right in how postponed games are being handled:

If neither team already has another game rescheduled to Week 15, they play the postponed game Week 15. If one or both teams already have a game rescheduled to Week 15, they don't play the game.

If so, the following games would already be cancelled:
Georgia @ Missouri
Alabama @ LSU

And with eight teams already playing postponed games Week 15, more games are likely to be completely lost.

Am I understanding this correctly?

That’s my basic understanding, as well. Except, now they’re saying a lot of them may also be played Dec. 19th. For example, A&M game is cancelled this weekend, and they’re saying it’s all but a formality their game against Ole Miss next weekend will be, because there’s no way they’ll have the numbers to play by then (due to protocols, etc.). So, I assumed that game wouldn’t be made up, but the ones that might actually know are saying both sides are very optimistic it will be played on Dec. 19th, after they makeup the Tennessee game on Dec. 12th.

It’s going to be really weird playing two games after the Egg Bowl, assuming it happens. The only other times we’ve done that are when we go to SEC Championship game and our BCS or CFP game!****

NOPE! Played BYU after Egg Bowl in 2000.
That’s the night we had to beat the refs as well and well... they were too much to overcome.
Was on the sidelines that night and THE WORSE officiated game I’ve ever seen.
There was another similar one in StarkVegas too in the 90’s but I don’t recall who that was against but we loss that day as well.

I also intend to go, but I don't believe Ole Miss has divvyed out tickets to that game yet. Remember they didn't really give out season tickets, they're doing it on a sort of rolling game-to-game basis. Once they finally put out tickets, they should start appearing on Stubhub, etc.

You’re thinking of 2001 In Starkville i believe

I was at that game. It think it was in 2001, but I had forgotten it was after the eggbowl. And yes, the officiating was terrible! I remember JWS saying in the press that was the worst called game he had ever participated and the only game that he would say the officials swayed the outcome.

Looking to keep my 27-game egg bowl streak going as well.

Yeah Ole Miss played Vanderbilt after Egg Bowl that year, too. That was due to 9/11, of course.

Side note on that - those first games back after 9/11 was as United as I’ve ever seen our country. I remember the entire stadium singing “God Bless America” after the national anthem and locking arms.. I was going, but it still gives me goosebumps. I obviously don’t want another tragedy, but sure wish we could find a way to all come together again.
