The Mississippi State Bulldogs will keep The Egg for another year, after a dramatic 24-22 win over the Mississippi Rebels on Thursday night during the biggest game of the year for both teams in Oxford.
But the real trophy might have to go to MSU's inside receivers coach Drew Hollingshead, who thanked a reporter that Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin had sparred with earlier in the week.
Earlier this week, the sports director for WCBI News Jon Sokoloff issued this report:
BREAKING: #OleMiss HC Lane Kiffin plans to step down as the Rebels coach Friday and head to Auburn to become the Tigers next head coach, according to sources
Sources say the Tigers haven't officially offered the job to anyone yet.
So Lane to Auburn is happening. Story soon.
