What's the Egg Bowl trophy?

Golden Egg: a football-shaped brass trophy on a wooden base, first awarded in 1927; it looks like an egg because footballs of the 1920s were rounder than today's.

How did the Egg Bowl start?

Mississippi A&M, now Mississippi State, beat Ole Miss 17-0 in Starkville in the first meeting in 1901. In 1926 Ole Miss ended a 13-game losing streak with a 7-6 win, its fans tried to tear down the goalposts, and the fight that followed led students from both schools to create the Golden Egg the next year. The "Egg Bowl" nickname came later, from Clarion-Ledger sportswriter Tom Patterson in 1979. The game closes the regular season on Thanksgiving weekend, alternating between Oxford and Starkville, and was played in Jackson from 1973 to 1990. Its named games include the 1983 "Immaculate Deflection," when the wind held up a State field goal try, and 2019, when Elijah Moore's touchdown celebration penalty pushed back an extra point that Ole Miss missed in a 21-20 loss.
