A year after the Egg Bowl reigned as one of the pissiest, rowdiest rivalry games in memory, Thanksgiving in Oxford resumed the tradition. After what appeared to be an Ole Miss touchdown by A.J. Brown to cut the lead to 28-10, a big dustup broke out in the end zone, and yeah, that’s Rebels QB Matt Corral in the middle of it, having his helmet yanked off and all.
Your annual BIG EGG BOWL BRAWL is here, complete with Ole Miss’ QB scrappin’
All after a touchdown that didn’t even count!
Watch up top as MSU’s Johnathan Abram and Brown trade punches, kicking off the whole thing:
Coaches got everything sort of separated. Sort of.
Officials hit both entire rosters with unsportsmanlike flags, meaning any further antics will result in ejections. Ejected players: Mississippi State’s Jamal Peters (the QB helmet ripper), Cameron Dantzler, Willie Gay (for his second unsportsmanlike of the game), and Abram. Brown and Corral could’ve been booted as well.
Most importantly, on the way out, Peters gave us this graceful memento ...
... which called to mind this from the 2017 Egg Bowl, when ejected Ole Miss’ Breeland Speaks happily played the road heel on the way out. Rivalry traditions!
And the touchdown didn’t even count, lol.
