In the end, Ole Miss got its revenge on Lane Kiffin in the most satisfying way possible
Kiffin's return to Oxford did not disappoint. The Rebels surged, the Tigers rallied, and then Trinidad Chambliss stole the show and Ole Miss sent its former coach home with an 'L'.
On Wednesday night, Ole Miss fans gathered at the historic Lyric Theater in Oxford, Mississippi, to host a roast of former coach Lane Kiffin. Darts were thrown at cardboard cutouts of Kiffin, a bust of him was unveiled, and attendees ridiculed him from a microphone. Three days later, on Saturday, the LSU football team faced off against Ole Miss in a game that Kiffin had coached for the Rebels.
The Rebels, led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, put up a strong fight but ultimately lost to Ole Miss 32-24. Despite their loss, Kiffin couldn't help but acknowledge his gratitude for the past six seasons he spent at Ole Miss, and he praised the atmosphere at the stadium during the game, as it was unlike anything he had experienced before.
