The Magnolia Bowl is name given to the LSU–Ole Miss football rivalry.[2][3][4] It is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the LSU Tigers football team of Louisiana State University (LSU) and the Ole Miss Rebels football team of the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The teams compete for the Magnolia Bowl Trophy.[5] The Tigers and the Rebels first met in 1894, and have been regular opponents in Southeastern Conference (SEC), meeting annually, without interruption, since 1945.[6]
The rivalry was at its height during the 1950s and 1960s, when both teams were highly ranked and during which time both teams claimed a national championship.[7] The rivalry died down from the 1970s to the 1990s, owing to Ole Miss not returning to conference or national prominence since the 1970s and because LSU has seen new rivalries emerge when the SEC split into two divisions in 1992, most notably Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, and Florida.[8] Even though the rivalry has not attracted the same national attention in recent years, it still stirs up passion in both Oxford and Baton Rouge.[9][10]
In 2008, the student bodies of both schools elected to christen the yearly contest the "Magnolia Bowl",[11] the magnolia flower being the state flower of both Louisiana and Mississippi, and award a trophy to the winner.[12] Ole Miss defeated LSU 31–13 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to become the first winner of the new trophy.[2]
The 2007 Magnolia Bowl
It is the second most played rivalry for both teams.[13][14] The 2011 edition in Oxford was the 100th meeting between the two schools.[15] It was also the most lopsided game in series history, as top-ranked LSU defeated Ole Miss and coach Houston Nutt 52–3.[16] In many cases, wins have come in streaks with the longest being 8, (LSU: 1928–1937). The next longest win streak is 6, a total reached by both Ole Miss and LSU. The Tigers won from 2002 to 2007, while the Rebels were able to defeat LSU from 1952 to 1957. LSU leads the series 63–41–4, with Ole Miss having vacated one victory and LSU vacating two.[17][18]
