Cadets carry game ball from Oxford to Starkville
An Egg Bowl tradition was born Monday in the cold and rain.
Winding through pine trees and the cotton fields lining Mississippi Highways 9 and 82, Army ROTC cadets from Ole Miss and Mississippi State carried Thursday’s game ball from Oxford to Starkville.
The 98.1-mile journey — dubbed The Egg Bowl Run — began at 5 a.m. Monday.
