A Super Talk Mississippi Media Production.

Another edition of Egg Bowl Memory is joining me now.

Former All-SCC Guard.

Ben Beckwith joins the show.

Ben, a Mississippi kid grew up in the state of Mississippi.

You know, what did the Egg Bowl mean to you before you got to Mississippi State?

Oh, man, it's always meant a lot to me and my family and my friends.

We've always been highly invested in it.

We've always been one of those things, you know, you look forward to.

It's kind of the caps off the football season.

And usually no matter whether both teams are doing well or doing terrible,

it's just something you look forward to.

And it usually ends up being a really good just something you look forward to, and it usually

ends up being a really good game. One way or the other, whether both teams are bad, both

teams are good. It's usually, you know, everybody comes to play that day, and it's always

been something that Thanksgiving is kind of, you know, around here and around my part

of the world of Mississippi, it's always Thanksgiving and the egg ball go hand in hand.

So to say that it's important, it would be an understatement, and we always look forward to it, and just as much as we do, Thanksgiving Day turkey, you know, it's just kind of like, you know, you plan on having dressing for Thanksgiving, you plan on having the Egg Bowl around Thanksgiving,

and it just kind of goes hand in hand.

So it means a lot to us and my friends and family for sure.

I haven't asked anybody else, and I've talked to a couple other players this week,

but when you think about this year, there's going to be two football games after the Egg Bowl.
