By now, everyone knows that the Egg Bowl is one of the most-heated rivalries in all of college football.
It didn’t take long for Mississippi State coach Joe Moorhead to get initiated into the fray, as the Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels got into a huge scuffle in the immediate aftermath of Thursday night’s 35-3 Mississippi State victory.
As you can see in the videos below, when Ole Miss deputy AD Michael Thompson interrupts a midfield celebration, Moorhead wasn’t having it. He called out Thompson and the Rebels as he left the field:

Clearly, these two teams don’t like each other, and even in the aftermath of a blowout, there was fighting going on by both teams.
Fortunately, things were diffused before they got even more out of hand, and Mississippi State headed back to Starkville with the Egg Bowl trophy.
