Posted this on X yesterday:
I guess he sees himself as a modern-day Spurrier. For one, Spurrier had the credentials to back up his talk (8x SEC East champ, 6X SEC champ, national champion). To date, Kiffin hasn't accomplished anything notable...one good season at SoCal and 2 good seasons at Ole Miss. For another, Spurrier limited most of his barbs to UF's rivals (UGA, UT, FSU mostly). He didn't waste too much time shooting barbs at the lower teams in the league...don't know if he viewed that as unsporting or just not worth it for teams he didn't view as threats (not saying he never did).
Not sure why he feels it necessary to jab at us. It's not like Beamer has said anything derogatory towards Antwane or Ole Miss.
I said it a while back and I'll reiterate: I would sign up for going 1-11 if it meant a guaranteed win against Ole Miss.
