Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Roberts and as always I am your good friend and host Steve Roberts and here on a special Tuesday edition of the yard

We're going to talk about egg bowl history today and talk about the history of this rivalry some of the more notable games and of course we're only going to talk about Mississippi State wins for the most part

those are the only games that really matter because Ole Miss cheated in the others now you know what I'm saying we're going to talk about Mississippi State wins, for the most part. Those are the only games that really matter because Ole Miss cheated in the others. Now, you know what I'm saying. We're going to talk about kind of the history of the rivalry. You know, I've written a couple books about the history of this rivalry. I've learned a lot. I want to share some of that with you today. Probably some things that you're unaware of. A lot of people don't understand the genesis of this rivalry. And so we're going to break

some of that down. There are not a lot of good tidings, I guess we would say. It has always been a toxic

rivalry from the very beginning. And when I wrote Stark Villains, the very first chapter is contentious from the

beginning. It has always been contentious. Of course, we have these carpet baggers that show up in the

media, guys like Hugh Kellenberger and people like that, oh, it's never been this bad. Guys,

it's always been bad. There are times it's been less bad than others, but it's always been bad.

I suspect it always will be. And I think we're all really fine with that arrangement. You know, people are like, oh, you know, it's just another game. It's not just another game. It's just not. It's about, you know, the old culture versus agriculture type shirt. You know, who do you think clothes and feed you, idiots? But we're going to talk a little bit about that today.

Have a cool top 10 list today, The Rock of Mississippi.

A couple of those bands are always special to me.

For maybe reasons you're unaware.

We'll talk about that.

We'll talk about preview in Ole Miss tomorrow.

A lot of people said, you know, Steve, you ought to do the show every day.

I don't know that I could.

I don't know that I have the time or the patience.

But this week, rivalry week, you can get four shows.

And then on Thursday, we're going to play a football game.

And hopefully we can win that football game.

I can assure you, based on recent conversation,

that Dr. Mark Keenum has expressed his desire to win the football game.
