00:03 Another game 3.30 Eastern in the SEC, Ole Miss and Alabama.
00:08 Get your popcorn ready here, Mark Zeno, as Alabama wins 24 to 10.
00:13 Nick Saban versus Lane Kiffin,
00:16 one of the more marquee head coaching matchups.
00:18 Alabama wins, they cover the seven, game stays under 55.
00:23 Do you take anything away from Tuscaloosa, Alabama?
00:26 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:29 >> Lane Kiffin won that, that's what I took away.
00:32 This was the year to do it, and he couldn't do it.
00:36 And his offense only scored ten points.
00:38 I didn't even get a chance to truly watch the game in earnest,
00:42 because so many other things were going on at that time that I was more invested in
00:45 monetarily.
00:46 But the bottom line here is that this was the only chance Lane Kiffin,
00:51 the best chance he had to go beat this team, and he couldn't do it.
00:54 So may as well mark it down as a loss every year for Ole Miss,
00:57 they're not gonna beat Alabama.
00:58 >> [LAUGH] Lane Kiffin versus his old boss, Nick Saban.
01:04 If you remember right, showed him the door,
01:06 fired him the week before the national championship game.
01:10 Or not the week before, but in between the conference championship game and
01:15 the national championship game, when Lane Kiffin took the job initially at FAU.
01:21 He was the offensive coordinator for Alabama, and
01:23 Nick Saban was just like, yeah, you're done here.
01:26 We're going with Steve Sarkeesian as our own seed now.
01:29 Kind of made for an awkward situation.
01:31 Do you remember that, Mark?
01:32 What was that, like four or five years ago?
01:34 >> Yeah, yeah, I think Kiffin knew he was on his way anyway, so
01:37 it didn't really bother him per se.
01:39 But look, it worked out for Kiffin, he ended up in a good spot.
01:43 He's got a place where he can stay as long as he likes.
01:48 They're not gonna get rid of Lane Kiffin.
01:49 He brings excitement.
01:50 Ole Miss hasn't had this kind of excitement in football since Eli Manning was there.
01:55 So there's a reason to tune in with Ole Miss at Lane Kiffin.
02:00 He's always a draw.
02:00 >> Yeah, he's hilarious.
02:03 And absolutely, to tell you the truth, it probably actually helped him because he got
02:08 to recruiting at FAU more than one, two conference USA, the conference championships.
02:14 And then obviously it got him the job at Ole Miss.
02:16 So yeah, I don't think it's any, it's just interesting to see those two go at each other.
