LSU Fans Fly Lane Kiffin Troll Banner Over Ole Miss’ Stadium
LSU coach Lane Kiffin's return to Ole Miss is bringing a lot of excitement, including a message that flew over the stadium.
Fans of the LSU Tigers created a buzz by flying a banner above the Ole Miss Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, for Saturday's highly-anticipated matchup against their rivals. The banner, sporting the message "Daddy's back! Geaux Tigers!" and showcasing images of the returning coach, was spotted at Hollingsworth Field. This act of support quickly went viral online, with over 6,600 likes and 37 comments on an X post detailing the incident.
While some expressed admiration for college football, others voiced concerns about the safety of those flying the banner and questioned the motivations behind it. In the days leading up to the game, LSU's quarterback Sam Leavitt's injury status was a hot topic, shifting from doubtful to questionable to available to play. Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding, who previously worked under Kiffin at Ole Miss, even exchanged texts with the Tigers coach about Leavitt's availability.
The game, set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, promises to be a competitive showdown between the No. 7 and No. 8 ranked teams.
