Today the MSU bulldogs had a huge comeback win against their in-state rivals, the Ole Miss Rebels. It was a big game for MSU as a win would have made them a shoe in for a bowl bid for the first time since 2000. But bigger than that, a win would be against their biggest rival. Now i know many of you have a favorite college team, and you think your rivalry games are big too. Let me assure you they aren’t on par with this one. ESPN used to show the egg-bowl ( MSU vs OLE MISS ) every year on thanksgiving. It drew good ratings and huge crowds. You were guaranteed an eventful game as both sides hated each other. Unfortunately the powers that be over at ESPN decided to discontinue broadcasting the game, so it was moved to Friday. A DAY THAT I HAVE TO WORK! After a quick call to Dish Network to activate the local channels on our work tv i plopped my butt down in front of the office tv and watched my bulldogs go for the glory. After the first half i was pretty concerned. Ole Miss lead 14-0 at half time and the third quarter didn’t get any better. But as with every year during the egg bowl you better not count a team out until the very end. Stringing together a few good plays the bulldogs finally put a TD up on a rollout pass to the runningback Dixon who struggled most of the day running due to an overstacked defensive line. The Rebels quickly went 3 and out and I thought this is it. But no luck. Again the rebels got a chance but three and out it went. This time the bulldogs ran back the punt for a TD. Then after a big defensive stand and a couple key passes and a run by the QB the bulldogs kicked a field goal to win 17-14. It really was an amazing comeback. I think the biggest key was when the rebels decided to go for it on a 4th and one and failed. They were up 14-0 in the 4th quarter and they go for it. BONEHEAD but i love you for it. GO DAWGS!!!!!
