An Egg Bowl tradition continues Nov. 19 when Mississippi State University and University of Mississippi Army ROTC cadets partner for the 11th annual Egg Bowl Run.
Ole Miss cadets will carry the ball from Oxford to Calhoun City, where they will hand it off to MSU cadets for the second leg of the nearly 100-mile run to Starkville.
The ceremonial game ball will be delivered to Davis Wade Stadium at the completion of the run Sunday evening. It will be signed by the MSU and UM coaches.
A food drive also will be held along with the run as the ROTC units bring canned goods to the Calhoun County food pantry for distribution to those in need.
Food drive donations can be dropped off at MSU’s Army ROTC headquarters in Middleton Hall.
Along with the traditional run, an overseas Egg Bowl Run was recently held in Kuwait, carried out by 92 members of the Mississippi Army National Guard’s 168th Theater Engineer Brigade, 185th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade and 1-155th Combined Arms Battalion.
MSU and Ole Miss supporters ran their football 84 miles for the second time since the first such event on foreign soil in 2018.
The Bulldogs and Rebels will face off Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, in the Egg Bowl at 6:30 p.m. in Davis Wade Stadium. The game will be televised on ESPN. (agnolia State Live 11/15/23) Running for the Golden Egg: Mississippi ROTC cadets continue tradition - Magnolia State Live | Magnolia State Live
