thinking of sending the LSU football team to Oxford on a C-130 along with the La Nat. Guard. And joking with the possibility of a F-16 flying with them. LOL..... it just keeps getting better by the minute and while I don't normally watch LSU or Ole Miss games, this one, I may have to.....
"Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has joked about sending LSU coach Lane Kiffin and his team to Oxford, Mississippi, using military aircraft and possibly the National Guard to ensure their safety ahead of the Tigers’ SEC opener against Ole Miss
The comments came in the wake of Kiffin’s return to Oxford after leaving Ole Miss for LSU before the end of last season. LSU entered the 2026 season ranked No. 7, and Ole Miss No. 8, making the matchup a top SEC preview. However, tensions were high due to Kiffin’s departure — he left after an 11‑1 season, two days after the final game, and even tried to recruit some of his former players to join LSU.
Landry told ESPN that while the joke about an F‑16 for Kiffin and a C‑130 for the team was exaggerated, his office had already coordinated with Mississippi officials to ensure tight security for the LSU delegation. He emphasized that the goal was to “play in complete Southern hospitality” and have a great game, despite knowing the atmosphere could be hostile".
