There will be no Thanksgiving Day football for the Magnolia State’s two biggest college football teams.
Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports that The Egg Bowl, the annual game between Ole Miss and Mississippi State, will be played this year on Black Friday (November 29) rather than on Thanksgiving Day.
Also according to Dellenger, the game will kick off at 2:30 pm for a national broadcast on ABC.
The Battle for the Golden Egg has been played on Thanksgiving Day 23 times.
The last time the game wasn’t played on the holiday was 2016.
This season’s game will be played in Oxford.
The 2024 Egg Bowl, between Mississippi State & Ole Miss, is shifting off Thanksgiving and onto Black Friday, sources tell @YahooSports.
The Rebels & Bulldogs kick off at 3:30 pm ET on Nov. 29 & will be televised on ABC – a major viewership spot for deeply rooted hate.
