LSU’s Glittering Baton Rouge Bait for Lane
After LSU’s 5–3 start and a 49–25 loss to Texas A&M, Brian Kelly was shown the door, launching the Tigers’ coaching carousel. Paul Finebaum argues Lane Kiffin—restless despite his Oxford “nirvana”—can’t resist the LSU opening, even though he’s been linked to Florida. Finebaum predicts Kiffin covets Baton Rouge’s tradition and spotlight. Yet voices like Cam Newton warn that chasing others’ legacies (Meyer, Orgeron, Saban) in Gainesville or Baton Rouge could eclipse Kiffin’s own narrative-building at Ole Miss.
If coaching gigs were Tinder profiles, Lane Kiffin’s right thumb would be burnt off. He’s swiping right on every hot opening like a caffeine-fueled job hopper at a football buffet. Sure, Ole Miss is his cozy den, but LSU’s bayou bling is whispering sweet nothings about even bigger paydays—and we all know he’s got commitment issues.
Odds On for Rebel Rally Under the Lights
No. 7 Ole Miss (7–1, 4–1 SEC) hosts South Carolina (3–5, 1–5 SEC) in Week 10 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Lane Kiffin warns of explosive Gamecock defense and LaNorris Sellers’ elusiveness. Vegas lists Ole Miss as 12.5-point favorites, with a moneyline of –520/+385 and an over/under of 54.5. The night kickoff on ESPN promises an electric atmosphere, with Kiffin urging a sellout to fuel playoff hopes.
Nothing says “we’re desperate for attendance” like begging students to show up at 6 p.m. on a school night. But fret not—when the spread hits double digits, every Rebel die-hard will magically materialize, chanting like extras in a student-film production. And Vegas? They’re just printing odds while fans print parking passes.
