About 100 gaming enthusiasts from Mississippi State and the University of Mississippi faced off in the Esports Eggbowl competition this weekend as a crowd of onlookers gathered at Humphrey Coliseum. In 2018, Ï㽶ֱ²¥took home the inaugural trophy and this year played host as the second-year event played out in down-to-the-wire drama, with University of Mississippi edging out the win in final play. Ï㽶ֱ²¥President Mark E. Keenum welcomed players and fans alike earlier in the day for what he called a new era in an old rivalry.Â
