Ole Miss Rebels football reporter whom Lane Kiffin confronted makes a bold claim on viral Egg Bowl incident originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Lane Kiffin was very obviously leaving the Ole Miss Rebels for the LSU Tigers last November, and ahead of the 2025 Egg Bowl, observers pointed that out. On3’s Ben Garrett used a phrase about Kiffin – saying “Can't turn a h* into a housewife,” because “H*s don't act right” – that didn’t sit well with the then-Ole Miss head coach. Kiffin famously confronted him on the field, challenging Garrett to follow him into the tunnel at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The incident went viral, and many Rebels fans banded together behind Garrett in solidarity once Kiffin officially took the LSU job and was introduced in December. Now, Garrett has come out and given more context in the wake of a scorched-earth Vanity Fair piece about Kiffin’s tenure in Oxford that painted Ole Miss in a very negative light.
“Yup that's me and he didn't have shit to say in the tunnel or the press conference afterwards. Or in all the communication we've had since. Only apologized,” Garrett said in response to a Tiger fan sharing a GIF of the incident.
“Almost like it was performative. We'd talked for five minutes on the field before this … Just say you're in a cult.”
Lane Kiffin is pushing all of Ole Miss’s buttons before the September 19 LSU game
Kiffin has never backed down from trolling opponents, but after leaving the Rebels right before the CFP, it’s easy to see that the September 19 matchup between Ole Miss and LSU will be different than any other atmosphere the sport has ever seen. Kiffin could say he didn’t want to leave the Rebs right before the playoff, but Ole Miss was likely better off without him, making the semifinals and upsetting the Georgia Bulldogs on the way with the antagonistic fuel Kiffin provided.
Kiffin had a golf ball and other various pieces of garbage thrown at him during a Rebels-Tennessee Volunteers matchup at Neyland Stadium in 2021. After Kiffin’s accusations about Oxford, the University of Mississippi, and the Magnolia State at large, things could get ugly when the Tigers descend upon Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in a few months. A recent brawl during a baseball game between the two teams may be a bellwether of the mood in The Grove on September 19.
