Ole Miss Football Releases Magnolia Bowl Hype Video Narrated by Eli Manning

What makes rivalry? That was the question answered in the Ole Miss Rebels’ hype video this week prior to their game against LSU.

Eli Manning is very familiar with rivalries. During his time as a quarterback for the Rebels, he saw plenty of action against teams like LSU and Mississippi State, and once he moved to the NFL with the New York Giants, he became accustomed to taking on the Dallas Cowboys and other division foes.

Manning returned to his Rebel roots this week when he narrated the team’s hype video before the annual Magnolia Bowl against the Tigers. You can watch the video below.

Manning highlighted some of the ‘big names’ and ‘bigger moments’ that have made this a historic rivalry, and he was part of a number of those matches during his time at Oxford. The Rebels defeated LSU at Tiger Stadium in 2001 before the Tigers would win the SEC championship later that year. Ole Miss also fell short in Manning’s senior year against LSU in a loss that prevented the Rebels from reaching the SEC Championship Game.

“It’s time for a new chapter in a legendary game,” Manning said in the video. “These moments are why you came here.”

This year’s Magnolia Bowl has a lot at stake. The winner of the game is still quite positive about their chances of a spot in the College Football Playoff, while the loser will suffer their second loss of the season and still have a lot of work to do to reach the postseason field.

Kickoff on Saturday is set for 6:30 PM CT, and the game will be broadcast on ABC.
