I'm just now seeing this about Juice not even being Kiffin's actual dog, so apoligies if German. Juice apparently lives with a handler and was only trotted out with Kiff for PR.
On the list of "Most Ole Miss Things Ever," this has to be near the top.
It's style over substance to the extreme. Here we have a mascot and a town built on self-mythology, where a head coach inventing a pet feels normal because everyone is pretending anyway. Juice isn't just a dog. He is Oxford in canine form. He is a carefully curated, Insta-ready illusion.
Here we had a grown man faking having a dog to make himself more "relatable" to the same type of man who gets a little too excited when the boys wear their powder blue.
This is why Kiffin was actually perfect for Oxord. He didn't clash with the fakeness. He completed it. Kiffin and juice were the living embodiment of a place that values image over truth. Juice was fake, the charm is fake, and the whole program and city run on the same manufactured shine.
And on another note, all of you who parroted what your rebel friends told you about Kiffin never leaving Oxford should have that somewhere in your bio. I never believed that nonsense for a minute. They are us and we are them. They caught lightning with a great coach. It was inevitable that he would use them for a big boy job just like he would have to us.
