In the first game of the doubleheader, the Ole Miss Rebels will host the Mississippi State Bulldogs in their annual Egg Bowl contest. The game, which will be played at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss., is scheduled to kickoff at 3:30pm ET on ABC, per the report.
The 2024 Egg Bowl, between Mississippi State & Ole Miss, is shifting off Thanksgiving and onto Black Friday, sources tell @YahooSports.
The Rebels & Bulldogs kick off at 3:30 pm ET on Nov. 29 & will be televised on ABC – a major viewership spot for deeply rooted hate.

Highly support My Georgia Bulldogs playing Georgia Tech playing on Black Friday evening during Thanksgiving Weekend.
Also support FOX Sports Colin Cowherd to end USC long standing rivalry vs Notre Dame & that way USC will play UCLA every Thanksgiving weekend & at that same time Notre Dame play various ACC opponents to continue it’s scheduling agreement.
