Ole Miss fans loudly react to Lane Kiffin at the start of ESPN’s “College GameDay” in Oxford, Mississippi, as the show sets up the Week 3 matchup between Ole Miss and LSU. Multiple outlets report that boos and vulgar/NSFW chants about Kiffin are heard early in the broadcast, drowning out the usual on-air sounds and coverage.
The reaction is tied to Kiffin’s return to Oxford. He left Ole Miss after the previous season and is now back to face his former program with LSU. Fox News and the New York Post describe chants that include explicit language, while Yahoo Sports adds that the animosity reaches its peak as the broadcast gets underway. All accounts frame the moment as a highly negative, crowd-led response that disrupts the early “GameDay” segment.
