It should have been the "Whiskey and Beer Bowl". I personally think calling any game that is not really a bowl game a bowl game is just silly.

I know folks from Ole Miss who call it this...


They should. It has obviously been a good luck charm for them, as we've never won it.

But LSU and Ole Miss are both on the same side of the river.

In twenty years people won't remember they're not supposed to like it.

The game is called that since it is highly unlikely that Ole Miss will go to any bowl games. That way they can hang banners claiming that they played in the Magnolia Bowl and the Egg Bowl right next to their West Co-Champs banner.

I'm guessing Magnolia was the most non-offensive title they could think of.

Ole Miss wanted to call it The Nutt Cracker Bowl, but LSU objected......
