College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, Colleges and military academies Mississippi State University is a Land-grant university located in north east-central Mississippi, United States, in the town of Starkville and Historic coaching hire Mississippi State made history on December 1 2003 when it hired Sylvester Croom as its head football coach The University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, is a public, coeducational Research University located in Oxford The University of Mississippi, also officially known as Ole Miss boasts a long and colorful football history which includes the formation of the first football team in the state While the 2 teams have played each other since 1901, with 2003 being the year in which the 2 teams had played each other 100 times and now having played each other a total of 104 times, the first game officially known as the "The Battle of the Golden Egg" was in 1927. [1] While it is called a "Bowl", the game is not a postseason bowl game, but rather a regular season Southeastern Conference (SEC) game for both teams as they are both SEC members in the West Division.

Up until 1926, Ole Miss had claimed only five wins in the previous twenty-three meetings of the teams. When Ole Miss beat what was then known as Mississippi A&M College 7 to 6, the Ole Miss fans were celebratory, rushing the field, some trying to tear the goalposts down. A&M fans did not take well to the Ole Miss fans celebrations, and fights broke out all over the field between the schools' fans. Some A&M fans defended the goal posts with wooden chairs, and several injuries were reported. Ole Miss and A&M students vowed then that such an incident should not happen again. The result was the "Golden Egg", a trophy to cool the heat of battle - the trophy, not the goalposts, would be the winners' reward. The name derives from a large trophy which has been awarded to the winning team each year since 1927. The trophy consists of a large football-shaped brass piece mounted to a wooden base and traditionally symbolizes supremacy in college football in the state of Mississippi for the year. Mississippi ( is a state located in the Deep South of the United States The footballs used in American football in the 1920s were considerably more ovoid and blunter than those in use today and similar to the balls still used in rugby; the shape of the football on the trophy naturally depicts a football from the era when the trophy was first awarded. American football, known in the United States and Canada simply as football, is a competitive Team sport known for mixing strategy with The 1920s is sometimes referred to as the " Jazz Age " or the " Roaring Twenties " when speaking about the United States and Canada Rugby football (usually just " rugby " may refer to a number of sports through history descended from a common form of Football developed at Rugby School The trophy thus, to modern eyes, more resembles an egg than a football. An egg is a round or oval body laid by the female of many animals consisting of an Ovum surrounded by layers of Membranes and an outer casing which acts to nourish The awarding of the "Golden Egg" was instituted in 1927 by joint agreement between the two schools student bodies.

The game is a typical example of the intrastate rivalries between several public universities in the U.S. These games are usually between one bearing the state's name alone, and the land-grant university, often styled as "State University". The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Land-grant universities (also called land-grant colleges or land grant institutions) are institutions of higher education in the United States that have Like most such rivalries, it is contested at the end of the regular season, in this case on Thanksgiving weekend, sometimes on Thanksgiving Day (or, in recent years, Thanksgiving Night) itself. Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American Holiday, which is a form of harvest festival. At one point the level of rivalry was such that a victory by one of the schools in this game could salvage what had otherwise been a poor season. This was however proven not to always be the case when in 2004 Ole Miss won the game but fired its coach, David Cutcliffe, the next week, following a disappointing season.

For many years this game was played at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, which seats approximately 62,000 spectators. Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium is an outdoor football Stadium in Jackson Mississippi, USA There were several reasons behind this. Besides being centrally located in the state, at the time it was the only venue in the state capable of seating the anticipated crowd; for many years Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford seated only about 32,000 and Scott Field in Starkville seated only about 31,000. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium at Hollingsworth Field is an outdoor football Stadium located on the University of Mississippi's main campus in Oxford Mississippi. Oxford is a city and the County seat of Lafayette County, Mississippi, United States. Davis Wade Stadium is the home playing venue for the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team Starkville is a city in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, United States. Both have been considerably expanded and are now capable of accommodating the crowds which can realistically be expected, and both on-campus venues have been continually upgraded to the point where they are actually superior in amenities to Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, so the decision was made to move the game into a home-and-home series in the 1990s. The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 It was decided that the on-campus atmosphere is generally better; the game is now more useful for both schools as a recruiting tool, and this has the additional advantage of only requiring the bulk of one team's core fan base to make a road trip rather than both of them as was previously the case.
