Mississippi State Army and Air Force ROTC cadets gather in The Junction after completing the annual Egg Bowl Run [Nov. 22]—a 13-year tradition of MSU and University of Mississippi ROTC teams running a signed football 100 miles between the rival campuses. The event—a precursor to this Friday’s Egg Bowl between the two schools—goes the extra mile with a canned food drive that fuels a friendly competition while supporting local communities. This year, cadets partnered with the Parkinson’s Foundation to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease. Click here to see more scenes of Bulldog cadets going the distance.
