Lane Kiffin has been known for stirring the pot in his rivalry with LSU's Pete Golding. It was expected that this week would bring more of the same, especially after Ole Miss signed highly touted sack leader Princewill Umanmielen, who will be donning Purple and Gold at Death Valley next season.
Fans of both sides have been trading insults and boasts on social media for months now, with the rivalry between LSU and Ole Miss reaching boiling point. While many fans were ecstatic about Umanmielen's arrival, others took a shot at the Rebels' fanbase, prompting one individual to try and stand up for them - none other than Kiffin himself.
On Wednesday, Kiffin called out an LSU fan who had been mocking his program, responding with just two words. The message was clear: we're not going down without a fight.
Kiffin's shift in tone is likely due to the fact that he's accomplished what many thought impossible - landing the best transfer window of any team in the nation. With Umanmielen on board and 11 four-star recruits, LSU's 2026 roster is set to be one of the most talented in history.
Meanwhile, Golding's Rebels program has secured an impressive eight four-stars and 18 three-stars through the transfer portal. While they may not have come out on top this time around, Ole Miss fans can take solace in knowing that Kiffin still sees value in his players.
The battle between these two programs shows no signs of slowing down, with both sides digging in for the long haul. As September 19th approaches - when LSU and Ole Miss finally face off on the gridiron - one thing is certain: the rivalry will only continue to grow more heated.
