ESPN wanted a permanent pairing to play on Turkey Day, and LSU would not agree to that. Egg Bowl stepped up to fill the void.

ESPN has been looking for an annual Thanksgiving night pairing and apparently has found one with the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. They will begin playing the series on Thanksgiving in 2017.

And just a couple of years ago, the Aggies were all "we dictate the series with LSU" and "SEC honors our tradition of playing on Thanksgiving" on the Rant.

Now, we don't even play on Thanksgiving at all.

That crap went out fast.
