Georgia and Ole Miss fans are each others biggest enemy heading into their matchup in the College Football Playoff. But leave it to Lane Kiffin to find a way to unite the two fanbases.
Kiffin obviously is a huge talking point entering this game, and while it is getting annoying talking about him it makes sense why everyone is. But Kiffin is doing everything he can to make this game about him, and his latest stunt will upset both Georgia and Ole Miss fans equally.
NEW: Several people at Ole Miss & LSU expect Lane Kiffin to attend the Sugar Bowl, Chris Low reports.

Lane Kiffin can't help but make the Sugar Bowl about him
Word came out Wednesday afternoon that Kiffin is likely to attend the Sugar Bowl. That really isn't a surprise since the game is in Louisiana and he obviously would love to cheer his former players on. But Kiffin not only will be at the game, but he wants to make an appearance on the TV broadcast.
It would be one thing if ESPN asked Kiffin to come into the booth for a little bit during the game. That would be extremely annoying for everyone at home, but if ESPN wanted to then they could ask him. But apparently Kiffin asked ESPN if he could join the commentators in the booth which is taking things a bit too far.
The good news is that anything Kiffin does is far more of a distraction for Ole Miss than it is for Georgia. He even has his future coaches at LSU doing work for the Tigers instead of letting them prepare for Georgia.
But the last thing anyone should want is Kiffin joining the booth because this game isn't about him. He chose to leave before the season was over, so he doesn't get to make this game about him when he could've stayed at Ole Miss and been coaching in it.
