WATCH: Ole Miss football offers support to basketball program by trolling Egg Bowl losers Mississippi State
Very few football fans, outside those living in Oxford, picked Ole Miss to win last season in Starkville — but that’s exactly what happened.
In one of the biggest upsets of the SEC season in 2017, the Rebels brought the Egg Bowl back home and get to hold it for at least another calendar year thanks in part to an explosive offensive performance from Jordan Ta’amu and Jordan Wilkins.
With the Ole Miss basketball program set to travel to Starkville this weekend for a showdown on the hardwood, the football program’s social media team decided to offer up some support and remind the team that no trip to Starkville, no matter how daunting it may seem, is unwinnable.

Hey @OleMissMBB, heard you’re going to Starkville this weekend. We know you’ve had some recent success there, and it reminded us of our Thanksgiving trip. #TBT
Good luck Saturday and #BeatState! #HottyToddy pic.twitter.com/M8wIwk1SkT
