Egg Bowl Streak

One of the more enjoyable things a State fan will ever experience is watching an Egg Bowl win in Oxford.
For those of us there in 2016, it's something we won't forget. It was a fun fun game to witness.
This is the truth.
Then after the win you go out on the town with your rebel friends and family. Listen to them cope by talking about how nice Oxford is. Just nod and agree. It’s the only comfort for their broken souls.
The ones where we win big (like that one) and totally take over their stadium are even better.
Of course, losing in Oxford, especially when we expect to win, is the worst.
Consecutive streak? 4. Yeah. Not impressive, but I'm states away.
Never really had a problem in Oxford. Don't know what you guys are doing wrong.

8 in a row for me this year. Made 26 in a row from 1979-2004. In 2016, sat next to a gentleman and his wife that had been to everyone since 1964!
I was kicked down the endzone stairs b4 security and threatened by a bunch of pricks who had us out numbered about 15 to 2. Ive watched relatives get arrested after wins. I seen cars with windows bashed in and a **** on some dudes hood. I walked thru the grove 1 time and got heckled worse than what youd expect in a rivalry...if 5 of us hadn't had cowbells (weapons) i know a bunch would have fought us.....im sure time has gotten my memory so theres likely more
I've been to a few Egg Bowls in Oxford but never have seen State win (2000, 2002 or 2004, 2006, 2014).
In 2014, OM had just lost to Arkansas 30-0, so i bought tickets last minute thinking State would win easily. Thinking of doing that again this year.
I went to 12 out of 13 between 1999 - 2011, missing only the 2008 debacle (which ended up being the greatest thing to ever happen to our football program). 9 straight from 1999 - 2007.
I wish I could say the same. Went to the 2012 and 2014. It sucked. 2014 was particularly nasty. Had some pretty disgusting vitriol spewed at me and my wife. Haven't been back since.
I used to enjoy it more, but the last 4 I've been to is 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017. Three of those were gut punches. It hurts bad to lose to them, especially for me. I wish I could handle it better, but I man I hate losing.
I was there. My record in Oxford watching us play is 2-0 and I want to keep it that way. It was a pretty unbelievable three week run for us. We beat Alabama the same day that Arkansas lost to Tennessee and all of a sudden we had a chance to win the West if we won out which of course we did by beating Arkansas and Ole Miss.
I'll never forget "We're going to Georgia!" Or the at least 200 Mississippi Highway patrolmen surrounding the goal posts. That was the game where Col. Reb (this was when Ole Miss had a mascot that wasn't a bear or a shark) ran through the band.
The other one I went to was 1996 and it was a really weird game. We won the game on all defensive scores 17-0 and the field was a complete mud pit. Well, Matt Wyatt scored on a 2 point conversion too.
I've been to Oxford twice, 2000 and 2012. After 2012, I'm never going back again. I was in college, had stuff stolen out of our tent. Had a drunk guy scream insults at my little sister which led to things obviously get escalated. So my egg bowl streak is only going to be counted for games in Starkville
This will be number 40 for me. I was in the 3rd grade my first EB. I was in the end zone during the loss when our kick was blown back through the uprights and was on the 50 during the kick-pick-kick win. Lots of memories.
My son hasn't missed one since his first, which was Croom's last. It was in Oxford and he was 8 years old. Before the kick-off he said "Dad, I don't like this place." I replied "Son, you're wise beyond your years."

In my 50+ years of life, I've never been and never will go to an athletic event there whether its football, baseball or whatever. I don't miss them anywhere else but I absolutely refuse to travel to where that many pretentious pricks gather in one spot.
This will be my 26th Egg Bowl over the last 29 years. Last one I missed...
was Ed O's last game in 2007, so 11 straight. Interestingly, the 3 I missed were all won by State... 1993, 1996, 2007. Have only missed 1 in Oxford since being moved back to campus.

Lamar from Starkville, and if you're from Starkville you know Lamar, is going to his 56th straight Egg Bowl tomorrow. Started when he was six. Said his dad saw 45 straight so between them they probably have 70+
