The Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Mississippi kicked off on Thanksgiving, and on a holiday where being grateful and friendly to others is precedent, that was exactly the opposite of what the Bulldogs and Rebels brought to the table.
The two teams broke out in a benches-clearing brawl at the end of the 3rd quarterer that resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on every single player from both teams, all 170 of them.
