  SPEAKER_01: I remember you came up here with your family, uh, one of the first games up here that we got to see each other.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: And um, I wasn't going to games back then because the Delta variant was really bad.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: And then I started going to games now since I got the booster.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, so gonna uh go to the egg bowl, man.

  SPEAKER_01: Can't can't wait to uh to get there.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be a it's gonna be a good one.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: So what was your first game back that you went to?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: The Alabama game.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Right, yeah.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: That was the first game.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: So I've been to Alabama, Kentucky, and uh and the Tennessee State game.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's so awesome.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if we used to have uh seats.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um well I started going to games uh when I was in the fifth grade with my grandparents, and we sat on the uh west side of the stadium, and uh and then uh later on through the years, I ended up moving over to the club level and been there for a long time.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: Mainly I went over there because of the the bad weather with CF and the rain.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: I could go inside when it's when it was really cold and bad and stuff.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: So so I've been there for years, and then last year, you know, we didn't go to all, so we we stopped our tickets in the club level.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Since I live up here now, I was like, well, you know, if we go to the games and it gets cold and rainy, heck, I just go home and watch it.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: So uh decided to uh get tickets on the uh west side of the stadium again.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: And I I had I keep ticket stuffs from previous years, and I pulled out the ticket stuffs from when I was uh little and uh I found the exact same row that I sat on with my grandparents and looked, looked at it, looked at the seating chart, and I got seats down right from where I sat when I was an 11-year-old boy.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Same row as where I sat with my grandparents, so it's pretty cool.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: Man, that's crazy.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just right, it's a great seats, man.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because uh, I mean, we're you know, I think about 30 rows up from the field on the 40-yard line on the on the west side of the stadium.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: So a lot of great memories.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Matter of fact, the first game when the Alabama game was the first game we went back to, and uh uh me and my mom went to the game and uh sat down, and uh the guy sitting right next to him is this old cat probably in the 80s, comes and sits right next to him.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: He starts talking to me.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: I looked at my mom, I was like, I got Dada sitting beside me.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: That was my granddad, what I call my granddad, so it's funny.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: God talked my ear off the whole game, like he would let my granddad talk all the time.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: So it was uh that's pretty special to be back over that that side.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, get back going to games and sitting over there.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's weird, like for whatever reason, I never had season tickets, so I just kind of get get whatever tickets and every time I've always been on the west side, the west side, and I think the only time ever sat on the east side was when we were students there in the student section, right?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so I don't even know what it's like on the east side anymore.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_02: And um, it's funny, like we we usually go to one or two games a year, and usually my wife doesn't go, she's not a big football fan or anything, but um, we went one year.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: My father-in-law usually finds us tickets because he has friends that alumni there and everything, and so he found us some tickets.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: It was an Arkansas game.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: I think it was like the first time like my wife was gonna come to a game up there.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, Oh, yeah, we're gonna get y'all some good seeds, and everybody's gonna have a good time and everything.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: And so we get there and he's like, Okay, uh, well, here's y'all's tickets, and uh, I'm sitting over here with my friend, and so he gives them to us, and I'm like, Okay, so we start we start going in and then we start like walking up the ramp, and we just keep walking and walking and walking, and it turns out we're at the very top of the stadium.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: We're up there with all the Arkansas fans, and it's like 45 degrees and the wind's blowing like 30 miles an hour, freezing cold up there.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: We're playing Arkansas, and I'm pretty sure we were losing, and I kept hearing the woo pig Suey like the whole game.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_02: And so then, of course, my wife is like, I'm not, I'm not going back to a game uh up there, and and so like I think her dad felt bad about this, about those tickets because I think he had he ended up having like I think like on the club level or something like that, yeah.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: And so ever since then, he's been like he's like made sure that we get really good tickets.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, like try to be in the shade or something like that, and so that's hilarious.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: But we got to sit this year for the first game.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: We sit up there at that club level, it's like covered, and that's nice because you got your own bathroom up there and your own uh concession stand and all that stuff.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: So was that is that kind of in the end zone area or what what no?
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's like the mid-level, like on the west side.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_02: You just you kind of go like halfway up okay, yeah.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's right by the press box.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're covered there in the elements and stuff.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: So that's pretty cool.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, awesome.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: So but anyways, but it's turned out to be a good season.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: I was I was a little worried about it at first, but we won some games we weren't supposed to win.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, well, the way I look at it, man, I I really think we should be nine and two or ten and one, you know, the Memphis game and the and the um Arkansas games.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: We those were we had those games, both of those were wins, in my opinion.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: And then LSU we had that game at the end.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: But then it, but then you think about it, and like there are games that we won that we shouldn't have really had no business winning, like and Auburn and NC State.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: So they kind of equal everything out in the end.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess we are kind of where we're supposed to be, but it does sting to know that you had two losses for sure that are wins, really, with the refs, you know, screwing us, but it is what it is.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm just anxious to see.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: I guess uh we can keep a lot of things have to happen, I think, for us to make it to the sugar bowl.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: I hear that um uh let's see what has to happen.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh LSU has to upset Texas AM, uh Louisville has to upset Kentucky, and we have to beat Ole Miss, and just a lot of things have to happen that for it for that to happen.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, I think our main thing is because if Ole Miss beats us in the egg ball, they're they're going to the sugar bowl.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's the main thing is to keep them from going.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I know in previous experiences in 15 when we had Dak and 17, I know for a fact that if we'd won those games, we were, I think, going to the sugar bowl, and they kept us out of both of those games.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's time to get revenge on that and keep them out.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm still bad about that 17 game with Dick Fitzgerald, man.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's it's just revenge, man.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: Revenge ankle.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, but uh yeah, so it's just uh a lot of a lot of good memories through the years of the egg bowl.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you want to uh rewind and maybe talk a little bit about some of our favorite memories of the egg bowl, and then towards the end, the end we can maybe give some of our predictions about what we think is gonna happen this week.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's funny.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, we said that um I had to go to um uh a wedding in Jackson a couple weeks ago with my mom, and and I'll uh to pass the time around, we're talking we were playing uh Auburn that day, and I was like, I can I can recount every Auburn Mississippi State game I've been to since 1992.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: So I went through all of them, and then I said, Well, I'm at it, let me do LSU, let me do Alabama.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think my mom was tired of me talking about it, but man, I could go on and on.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: So, but for Ole Miss, man, I think I did that one as well.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: The first game I I remember going to, I think it was in the either 1989, 89 or 1990.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: That was before the games were moved on campus.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: We were playing at uh Memorial Stadium in Jackson, which by the way, this past weekend, Deion Sanders and Coach Prime, they had I think the largest crowd in that Memorial Stadium history there for the Alcorn State, Jackson State game.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: So it was rocking.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: You see those videos from that?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: No, I didn't know that.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you have to look it up.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was jam-packed, man.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: It was insane.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, um, man, we would park in Fondren and walk over there.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: I told my hom one, you know, crime in Jackson has always been a bad thing.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: I remember when I was little, someone got stabbed in that Colbes uh cleaners over there across from Walker's drive-in right there on uh I guess North State Street.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: And we had to we had to walk from Fondren Church to the stadium because that's where we parked, Fondren Presbyterian.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: And we had to walk by the cleaners.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember like, I'm not looking that way.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to dodge myself because there was like a um stabbing there.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: So that's vaguely remember those games like that.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: Oh risking their life all the way back then, going walking to the game.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: And of course, those games, uh Ole Miss one.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Max actually, uh Matt Luke's brother, former coach at Ole Miss Tom Luke, I think, was a quarterback at Ole Miss, and they and they beat us.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: And then and then in '91, which is 30 years ago from right now, hard to believe.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um the series switched back to campus.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: And um, and that was Jackie Sherrill's first year, and and uh and Billy Brewer was a coach at Ole Miss that year.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: And uh there were there were some uh issues between Billy Brewer and Jackie Sherrill in the media that week, going back and forth and uh just kind of fun, you know, jabs at each other and and the rivalry and the getting back on campus.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: And uh I went to that game.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: I always say that October 1st, 1992 game against Florida, Thursday night game is my first game to go to Mississippi State and Starbucks, but as a season ticket holder.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I did go to this egg ball in '91 uh with my grandparents.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: And uh I remember the the um the fans, all Miss fans, were sitting on the east side of the stadium, the far right by the M Club.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: And we we won the game.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: And towards the end of the game, about the fourth quarter, they start us all started exiting out, and everybody was raising up their keys.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I was a 10-year-old boy at the time, and I was just absolutely loving it.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I think our friend of the show, I think Kevin Bailey told us that told me back then that he was going to that game, so I always laughed myself.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I bet Bailey's leaving the stadium right now, but uh, along with some other ones, and uh so that was cool.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: And then and then the next year was 92, we played it in Oxford, and uh I went with my grandparents to that and gosh, we parked on the highway outside of Oxford in Oxford.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and uh we walked from the highway all the way to the stadium.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: It seemed like it was miles and miles away cold, man.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: Head on long johns.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: I remember waking up that morning driving from Canton up to Oxford, and uh we sat, um we sat on uh I don't know what side of the stadium it was, it was pretty high up.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I watched this and it went down to a goal line stand in that game.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, people that listen to this podcast will know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: That game is known as the stand.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: We had to uh well, it was back and forth, back and forth, and and our starting quarterback that year was Sleepy Robinson, and he got hurt.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: And and um Greg Plump came in as a backup, and uh we had the ball uh right in position to score.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, it was cold, damp.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think it might have been raining that day, some, and uh and we had four tries to get it in, and we could not punch it in.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: And I thought we did.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: I remember uh jumping up and down.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: I said, We got it, we got it.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then these this kid right next to me was decked up in all mis gear, and he was jumping up and down.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, What are you laughing at?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I go, We got it.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: He said, He said, No, you didn't.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: We won.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: I looked around, the whole stand was going crazy.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, No, so we oh man, so yeah, and then um and then the next year went back to Starville, and uh my grandparents who like uh said always took me to the games, they had a wedding that day to go to.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: So uh my mom went with me, and that was the first game that me and my mom went together to at Mississippi States.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: My grandparents couldn't go and we won.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: We won again uh that year, dogs won again.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that was in '93 and then '94.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it was in Oxford, and we went back again.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, my granddad, uh, I mean, he was late 70s that and uh so his good friend who worked at the bank in Kenton and was a Dalhardt old Miss fan, he got him a uh a parking pass, and we parked right near the stadium.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: They and they hooked him up, man.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: He he went all out for him, got him a golf cart, ride up to the stadium.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: We rode with him in that thing, and and uh it was cold.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: And I had this little brown cowbell.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: They vividly remember uh ringing it, but sneaking in at the stadium, ringing it.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: And old Miss had a uh running back named Doo Innocent that year, and the whole crowd was saying, dude, like that.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: Sounded like booze, and and uh it was cold, rainy afternoon.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: I remember I was sitting with my granddad, my mom, and my grandmother was were sitting in another another seats, which is kind of weird.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: We're separated like that.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that's just the way the tickets came.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: And anyway, we won.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: We won that year in '94, and and uh it was a great season in '94, actually.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: And um here's the interesting fact about the 94 season was the first game.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, Tennessee and Mississippi State played each other here in Starfield that year.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: And that was Peyton Manning's first uh first start uh as a freshman, I believe.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: And that was on the road in Starville, and we beat Tennessee.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: So 94 was a great year.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: We capped off with a um a peach bowl.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: I went to that one and uh we played NC State that year.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: That was cool.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: And then 95 went back to state.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: We lost that game.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it was a tough, uh, tough one, tough season.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, lost it.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: But the memory I have for that game is after the game, uh, one of my dear friends now, uh, his name is uh Brian Anderson, he was a starting center for the football team that year.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I I my grandparents would always take me up to the uh media days and fan days at the beginning of the season, and I had a good relationship with Coach Cheryl.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: And and I met uh Brian Anderson and and his now wife uh Leanne, and and they kind of took me under it.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: So after the game, I went on the field and Brian gave me his uh his jersey that game.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: So I I still have that that jersey.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: I used to hang it up and had it up in my wall when I was a kid, and I still had it hold on to it today, and we're still good friends today and a lot of good memories.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: So uh uh we lost that game, but I got his jersey and we got great pictures, and and we're still friends today.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what I remember in '95.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: 96.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: I did not go to that game.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh first egg ball I'd missed, and it was cold and rainy.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: It was in Oxford.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't go, but we did win.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um funny story about that one is um that on that particular game, uh, Tommy Tumberville was the coach, and we had a rough season in '96, and um things were going bad our way.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, you know, in the Clarion Ledger paper in Jackson, they would have these letters to the editor, and uh people would write in uh their thoughts.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's crazy they did that.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: They and they would publish some.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: And someone was bashing Coach Cheryl, and the season was bad, and all that sort of stuff.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember I was I'd had it, and I knew how he took me under his wing and what a great guy he is.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: And people didn't know that side of him.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: I knew so I said, I'm writing, that's writing now.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sick of it.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm writing something in.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: 15 years old.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: I wrote something clearly letters to my mom.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, Don't be surprised, they don't publish it.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: You're only 15.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: Lo and behold, they published the uh published my article letter to the editor and write it to Coach Cheryl and tell him about what all he's done for me and about the the year, and and uh and uh yeah, it was just uh it was it was really cool.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: And uh Tommy Tupperville, I remember quoting that, said something like, Well, if the weather wasn't bad, then we would have beaten state that day.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: And and I said in the article, I was like, Hey, state played in the exact same weather and we won.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, and anyway, we published it, and and um the coach Cheryl thanked me for that.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: And uh he sent me actually got it right here, a piece of the goalpost from that '96 season where we knocked off Alabama for the very first time uh since 1980.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: So that was a big, big game.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't go to that game because it was cold and rainy, and that was the first time they tore down the goal post uh start with that scene.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: And uh 96 was a rough year, but we had we had good uh some good wins in it.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: 97 season.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um you know, we played back in Starble, and uh that was the last game that I went to with my granddad, uh, was the 1997 egg bowl.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, he had a stroke in in the 98, the summer of 98, and wasn't able to go back to another game again.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I vividly remember the 97 egg bowl being the last game that I went with my granddad.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: But the cool thing about that egg bowl is compared to today, which is hard to believe, you know, if you win six games today, you're going to a ball game.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: And that year, um, both teams finished, I believe, seven and four that year, and uh and we got beat the last second.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: They went almost went for two.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: Stuart Patrick was the quarterback, and they beat us by one point and uh um at the last second, going for two.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, and we both finished with winning records, but we didn't go to a bowl game.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: They ended up going to the music city bowl, playing Randy Moss and Marshall that year in the Music City Bowl.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: But uh hard to believe that with seven wins didn't get you to a bowl game in '97, but that's just the way it was back then.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um 98.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I was sitting at my uh grandparent, my other grandparents' house in Richland, uh eating Thanksgiving uh lunch with them.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: And my mom called and said, Hey, I got a ticket for you for the egg bowl if you if you want to go.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't planning on going, it was in Oxford.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Heck yeah, I left.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we drove up to Oxford, and um the ticket we got was in the uh middle of the olmus section.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: There was uh someone in my mom's uh a kid in my mom's classroom, family was diehard Ole Miss fans, they couldn't go, so they offered it to me.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they knew what they were getting into when they were offering the ticket for me.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but brought me in that game.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: 98, yeah, as you know, was the bet was the best year since state history.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: We won the West that year, and uh I snuck my cowbell and then I was just raising hell in the middle of the old miss section.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh my mom was embarrassed, but I didn't care.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was just uh we beat Ole Miss, we won the West that night.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: It was just a great feeling.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: I think someone said, You're not gonna get out alive here with that cowbell, son.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I turned around, just rang it in his ear.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: I was obnoxious in those days, that's for sure.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but had every reason to be.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: We we we won the West.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh 99, everybody knows about that game.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: The kick, the pick, you know, we intercepted it, they went for it and threw it, threw a pass downfield.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Eugene Clinton got it, bobbled it, intercepted it, ran it back.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: We kicked Westfield kicked a field goal.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: We won.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: Hard to believe we tore down the goal post that night.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: Can you believe that?
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: We beat Ole Miss and tore down the goalpost, which is kind of weird, but we did.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: That was 99.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh and then 2000, uh, that was our freshman year in college, and um, I didn't go to that game.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was in Oxford and Rainy.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't go, we lost, didn't you know, went to a bowl game anyway, snowball that year.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: But uh 2001, uh uh terrorist attacks, you know, the egg bowl was not the last game of the season that year for us.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: BYU was, which I'm still mad.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: We lost that game with all the uh most ridiculous I've ever seen.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: You probably remember that one.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but uh you remember that 01 egg bowl was Kevin Fant versus Eli Manning.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: And everyone was like, This is the matchup, this is a matchup, and lo and behold, we beat Eli.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: And Kevin Fant, I remember they made bumper stickers that said Kevin Fantastic.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone's like, Kevin Fant can be better than Manning because we beat Ole Miss that year.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: They were a little wrong on that one, but it was fun.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: That was a crappy year.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: Did the tire deal happen after that?
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, that was the next year, the fall of O2.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yeah, but uh yeah, we won that egg ball, only won three games in 01, but that was one of them.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: I was happy happy to get the egg, you know.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh 02, we played in Oxford.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't go.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we lost.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: We we were starting to trend downhill.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, oh three, same deal was Coach Cheryl's last game at state.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_01: It was cold.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Eli's senior year, and they just smoked us.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, we we broke out the uh uh helmets that look like Alabama.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: We had white with the number numerals on them.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: We'd never worn those before.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh that was a just rough night to be a state fan that night.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Eli Manning's last game, and Coach Coach Cheryl's last game.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: But and then 04, we talked about that earlier, Brandon.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you you uh you came by uh it was over Thanksgiving, and um, I guess I followed you up.

  SPEAKER_01: End zone.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: I saw Coach Daryl in the bathroom.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he was sitting in the stadium in the stands with us that game.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but uh yeah, that we just weren't good in those years.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um oh five, you know, uh I did an internship at Disney um in the fall of 2005, and I was determined to come home.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: I had never missed uh egg bowl, I hadn't I had not missed egg bowl in Starble, you know.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: So I was like, I'm determined to go and uh flew back home, got a ride with a friend of our ours, uh John Pitts, to the game.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't have a ride back, which is crazy because my flight back to Orlando was the next day.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, I found one after the game.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: But um, I remember vividly remember from that game.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: I went to the bathroom at Davis Wade, called Disney, said, I'm not gonna be able to make it to work today.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and uh didn't even think about you know the fans and the crowd.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Noise and stuff, but I did.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: I called and we won.

• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: But I left the game early with the people I was with left and I left with them.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: And as we're walking out, we're getting a position to kick a field goal, whether it was to tie it or send it to overtime or win it.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: I can't remember, but we tried to get back in the stadium and they wouldn't let us in.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: So we lost we missed the field goal, so it didn't matter.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_01: The next year, 07, we did the same thing.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, we kick a field goal.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Adam Carlson kicks that one.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: We went at the buzzer.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: That was memorable because it was Coach O's uh final game, and uh he he went for it a fourth down.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: Derek Peghees runs it back.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: We have that billboard printed out to see many happy returns.

  SPEAKER_01: We were the better team in 12, and and and they had Dante Moncrief, he kind of went off and and uh they beat us.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then 13, everybody knows about that one.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's the one Dak came off the bench, and we had no business winning that game.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: They were better than us that year.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: And Damon Williams started, Dak came off.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: He could feel the crowd just feed off of him coming into the game and winning it, and then uh Bo Wallace fumbling it in the end zone and getting the ball.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: And uh everybody laughed about Bo Wallace gonna be bringing rock in the uh New Year's Eve because he knows how to drop the ball.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: That was everybody laughed about that.
• 24:22

  SPEAKER_01: And then 16.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't go.

  SPEAKER_01: We're getting blown out.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: We weren't very good in 16.
• 24:56

  SPEAKER_01: He got that game and really won.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh 17, everybody knows about that.

• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, What?
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I remember that.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: I was I was in Madison, and uh yeah, that game for some reason that game was late, it was going on late, and yeah, like every single person in uh my parents' house has gone to bed except for me.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I was sitting there watching it, and when that happened, I mean I was just losing my mind, and like nobody in the whole house is awake, didn't even know what was happening.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: You do you remember?
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_01: Do you remember the Russians watching that game?
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: I still love that.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: They were watching it and they're like, Oh yeah, when he when he lifts his leg, and then they start laughing when he misses the extra point.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: Or the Russians doing watching the egg ball.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's just hilarious thinking about that.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: And then and then uh and then last year was a covet year.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, I didn't go, it was in Oxford.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Austin Williams, I remember he fumbled it towards uh the end zone, but we had a chance to come back.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: But uh maybe I'm hoping he gets revenge.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh he had a great game last week, three touchdowns.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: Will Rogers is slinging it.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: Man, you got Mike Leach, you got Lane Kiffin, National News, everybody knows about it.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: We're both good.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: We can stop them from going to the sugar bowl like they did to us.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I'm just really fired up, really excited.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: Can't wait to get out there.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, hopefully for a good game, you know.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_01: But you're usually uh the game where both teams are trying to get bowl eligible.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's not the case this year.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: Both teams are really, really good and highly ranked, and and uh should be a good one.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: So really looking forward to it.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_02: So what do you what do you think is gonna happen?
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_02: Do you have a prediction?
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I I don't.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: Every time I pick state to win, we lose.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_01: And every time I pick all miss to win, we win.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess I should pick all miss and doing that way.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I really really, you know, my granddad was at the game uh in '83, and it's uh when they kicked the ball in Memorial Stadium, Ole Miss uh State kicked it, and the wind blew it off, and it was going good.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_01: Chat Crystal called it, said kick's going good, and then it just went the wind literally blew the kick off.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: My grandmother said, My granddad was so mad he he store he left storming back to the car.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: The parking lot didn't say a word.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_01: So you with egg bowl man, you never can tell.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you got being like a dog, you got bowas fumbling, you know, always antics going on, fights, pregame fights, fights during the game, all that sort of stuff.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Lane Kiffin said yesterday that maybe I came to state to uh to to bring love and spread the love between the two rivals because it got so toxic between Mullen and Freeze.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_01: But as I said, I think he's new to the rivalry, man.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: Man, there's no love lost in this in this rivalry, man.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: People, people, people hate it, man.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_01: They always will, you know.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: People can't understand that.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_01: Why can you hate Ole Miss?
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_01: Why can't you hold on this?
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's just something you're uh you're you're born with.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: So ask Alabama fan why they hate Auburn, same deal.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, no, you don't hate the person, but you just you don't want them to win in the game.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's just the way I've been brought up.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_01: No, no ill will toward any Ole Miss people in general, but just I hope they lose every game.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_01: I hope we win every game.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's just the way it is, it's rivalry.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I know should be uh should be good, should be good.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_01: Good uh good Thanksgiving feast, man.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_01: I like the egg bowl on Thanksgiving, man.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: So the whole world's watching it makes it makes it better, I think.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's funny, like I did when I was a kid, my dad was went to Southern Miss, so right I didn't really care either way, Ole Miss First State, until I actually went to Mississippi State.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: And then once I went, once I went went to Mississippi State, man, I hated I hated Ole Miss winning anything.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_02: And uh but it's crazy though.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, um Kevin Bailey friend of the from the program we talked about earlier.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_02: I remember I went to uh some Ole Miss games with him and his grandpa, Goggy.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_02: I think his name was Goggy.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: And man, he was the greatest guy.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_02: He was just uh the greatest, greatest guy, old guy, and um would would give you a hug, you know, invite you in for dinner, didn't you didn't even know you.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_02: And he was an old miss fan.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: And sometimes I think about people like that.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I don't I don't hate all oldness fans, but but I still just have a hard time pulling pulling for him.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think I mellowed out a little bit as I got older, but I still just in the back of my mind, I just hope they lose every time, and I just can't help it.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm not I'm not as obnoxious as I used to be, but I still hate them, man.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_01: I hope they lose every granddad would say uh yeah, it's just uh it it's crazy how it's hot it's like that with it's just a rivalry, man.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's just what it uh what it is.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: But it's uh it's a lot of fun.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: Can't wait to see see what happens with it.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, I was so I was feeling pretty good about it.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I thought we had a good chance to win, and then I I've seen the weather forecast and I'm a little worried about it because we're you know it's supposed to be raining and cold and raining, we hadn't seen that yet.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's supposed to rain like 80% chance or something like that.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_02: And um, so that I don't know how if that slows us down or not.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, maybe maybe our receivers can still catch catch the ball and not have any problems with it, but if it turns into a running contest, I don't see it being good for us, but I don't either.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta give a shout out to a friend of the show, Chris King.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I remember when me and you were and him were in high school and junior high, he would give me so much hell about the egg bowl man.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: He was a diehard old miss fan, you know.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_01: Just give me that hell all the time.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_01: That 98 game, I remember rubbing it in so much to him when we won and won the West that year, and lo and behold, he's a state fan now.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_01: So it's uh it's pretty pretty crazy, man.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh knowing that you remember that?
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_02: You probably remember me and him getting into well, his his dog's name was Johnny Reb.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: I used to have a boxer named Johnny Rebels.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I remember that.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_02: I remember that big old miss fans.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_02: And thank King.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's you know, he's a 49ers fan too.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so every time the Saints lose, he's always trying to give everybody a hard time about that.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, well, it's been a lot of fun.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be a good Thanksgiving.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, and before we wrap it up, I want to remind everyone while why we're doing this podcast to begin with, why where we started it, you know, jonypacker.com, branding it with the sunglasses and and just spreading the word about CF and letting people know about my fight with CF.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, I've been so blessed to be able to go to all these egg balls, and especially now since I got tricafta, which I I don't think I'd be alive without it.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: And and that all goes back to CF and money raised to help help uh come up with new drugs like tricafta, but they're not they're not done yet.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_01: There's always room to uh uh there's like I said, there's 10% of people with CF that don't have a uh uh modulator.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_01: So um, so if you're listening to this, we're we love having fun talking about stuff, but the serious part of it is that people out there with CF still don't have uh effective treatment, some of them don't, and I want them to feel like I do, man.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh uh people that have CF that are on it because it's really changed my life.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: And and I'm so blessed to be able to like, for instance, it's gonna be cold and rainy, you know, and I'm not even worried about that.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_01: Before I wouldn't even go to the game, I'd worried I'd be coughing, getting sick of stuff, and I don't even cough in the cold anymore.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_01: So it's just an absolute miracle.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, so anyway, if you're listening to this, I really encourage you to check them out, johnnypacker.com, go into the stores, brand is in Collardville, or you can come and start.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: Well, check them out, it'd be a great Christmas gift for someone.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and knowing you're giving uh someone glasses and then don't doing something at the same time to help someone uh who needs it is uh is really the reason behind everything.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_01: So I just want to throw that in at the end.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh it's it's just crazy just uh to listen to you talk about all those games you've been to and and just knowing everything you've been through and the fact that you've been to pretty much most most of the egg bowls since you've been alive.
• 32:57
