Half unit as I'll just be honest: What Lane Kiffin is doing to his team is truly not cool. I don't begrudge anyone getting a raise of course. And perhaps (well very clearly), I don't know the difference between $9.2 million and $10.8 million. And Kiffin is a giant arrogant you know what; he is Steve Spurrier. But Spurrier won stuff. Kiffin is a great coach that's for sure. Just think all this surrounding can't be good. This might be the biggest Egg Bowl in recent history with all going on and it's also MSU's bowl game. Off-site, I threw $25 down on MSU to win outright. Either the Rebs tuned this all out and just smash or it goes wrong imo.

The swirl of attenton around where Lane Kiffin coaches next season has knocked down this line to seven. Thank you, rumors. Ole Miss is a better team with an ideal matchup, and the Rebels players overlow with motivation. If Kiffin leaves, the CFP committee could dock its rankng, so the Rebs will seek a one-sided win. Ole Miss unleashes star RB Kewan Lacy (second in SEC rushing, frst in run TDs) against a defense ranked 15h in the league for points and yards allowed. Trinidad Chambliss is the latest in Kiffin's product line as a QB whisperer. The perception of teams motivated by needing a sixth win to qualify for a third-rate bowl is overblown. Winning the Egg Bowl is the extent of MSU's inspiration.
