Thankfully, the Egg Bowl is back where it belongs - on Thanksgiving Day!
Instead of the usual Thanksgiving Day lunch with Mama and Jerry, this year,
Charles and I had Thanksgiving lunch at The Little Dooey...
Yum, that's some good bbq!!
After lunch, we made our way to Campus Book Mart where
we met Jackie Wayne Sherrill...
The guys in front of us were one for State and one for Ole Miss, and
we had a great time just listening to Jackie's conversation with the one for Ole Miss!!
After ringing our cowbells during the Dawg Walk, we stuck on our
game day stickers...
and made our way to our seats...
We can't wait to see the expansion completed!!
The Bulldogs took the field for pre-game warm-ups...
and we enjoyed a hot dog while watching them...
The Famous Maroon Band...
got everyone excited for the Dawgs to take the field...
The game was an exciting one!
Damian Williams, our freshman quarter back, played pretty well for his first MSU start against our rivals.
The Bulldogs scored first - finally in the second quarter -
but right in the final seconds before half time, tsun scored and tied the game.
They came out and kicked a field goal early on in the 3rd quarter and the game remained
10 them 7 us for the longest time...
It was fun watching Kendrick Market make some great defensive plays!
Everyone rang loudly when Dak Prescott entered the game in the 4th quarter!
With the way he played, you could not tell he had been out with an injury for
the last few games.
We were able to tie the game with a little over 2 minutes left in the 4th.
The MSU faithful rang loudly and thought we had cause to celebrate with
another field goal attempt for the win at the end of regulation -
unfortunately, it was no good.
So, the Egg Bowl went into overtime...
and what an overtime it was!
Pressure from the Dawgs caused Ole Wallace to fumble in overtime,
leading to a Mississippi State victory!
Oh,
it was...
SO...
exciting!!
Charles and I
loved seeing Our State Our Trophy on the jumbo tron!
We had SUCH a FUN time in Starkville cheering on our Dawgs!!
