Lane Kiffin thanks crowd for Week 5 effort, challenges them for Week 7
Prior to Ole Miss’ Week 5 game against Kentucky, Lane Kiffin wasn’t happy with the fan support that Ole Miss had been receiving at home games. In response, Ole Miss fans came out in massive numbers to cheer on the Rebels.
Lane Kiffin noticed the fan support and took to Twitter to thank the fans for their effort. Using lighting and megaphone emojis, Kiffin said that the crowd was great for all four quarters and that they made a difference in the game.
After that, Lane Kiffin also issued a challenge to the fans. Do it again.

Lane Kiffin’s tweet was a quote tweet from a post made by the team’s account. That post gave a point of view look at what it’s like to take the field as a football player at Ole Miss. The video starts in the tunnel, showing Jaxson Dart walking through the tunnel, before turning to come out of the tunnel onto the field at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
In the video, Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is full and the crowd roared for the Rebels. It’s the atmosphere that Lane Kiffin has wanted, and it’s the atmosphere that he’s hoping for going into Week 7’s game against Auburn.
Lane Kiffin wants to avoid rat poison
Prior to playing Alabama, Ole Miss has another four games to go. However, there is already a lot of hype about the meeting between the two. With that, ESPN’s Chris Low took to Twitter to praise Ole Miss’ balance between offense and defense. He also compared Ole Miss to Alabama.
Naturally, Lane Kiffin’s reply to Low was that this was another example of rat poison. In this case, he also asked Low to leave both teams alone. Somehow, this probably won’t be the last rat poison that Kiffin needs to fight off before Ole Miss and Alabama meet in November.
