What is the opening greeting and setting for this Oxford episode?
Hello beautiful people and welcome to this wonderful Feel Good Friday, September 18th, 2026. This sports program begins right now. Football is the absolute greatest. I'm so incredibly lucky that I'm down here in Oxford, Mississippi, the home of Ole Miss hosting. LSU and Lane Kiffin coming back to town, obviously, with his Tigers as the Ole Miss faithful, the Ole Miss grads, the Ole Miss team, the Ole Miss you name it. Hey, the man that is standing on the other side of this graphic. Now, last night I got in here late night, got a chance to chit-chat with – Some bros that are certainly living. A couple lads popped into me, Gumpy, and Big Joe's hangout time. Reese Davis was over there. Matt Garrett was over there.
Pete Thamel was over there. We were having a good time out on the patio enjoying this Ole Miss weather, which it's going to be another scorcher. Shout out to whatever's happening with the weather system. Is this because cows are farting? I don't know, but it has been hot. I've been sweating for whatever the case. A couple of bros come in, you know, sit down amongst us. Great conversation. Good conversation. Great enlightenment of what it was like. They said Lane Kiffin, when he was coach here, it was the first four years of our college experience.
We loved it. It was
the greatest time of all time. We were obviously in every single game. We're making it to the playoffs. We might win a national championship. We're the talk of the town. And Lane is doing everything that Lane does for us. They talked about how great it was, which is what made it so hard, they said. which is what made it so hard whenever he backstabbed us, whenever he bailed on us, whenever he was a traitor and hopped in a plane, went down to LSU, and then said, woe is me about not being able to poach his players from a playoff team that's trying to go win a national championship. That is not what Lane would say he was trying to do, but that is how the Ole Miss people view it. That is certainly how the Ole Miss people view it.
So whenever you talk to, like, Kirk Herbstreit, who's been out doing College Game Day for 31 years, and you hear him chit-chat in a production meeting about how, like, wow. This might be the most anticipated, intense game that I can ever recall. Now, obviously, you've got a lot of hate rivalries. There's a lot of teams that hate each other. Ohio State, Michigan, every single year, there's been a lot on the line there. And obviously, that hate is deep. There's some people that don't even say Michigan. They say Ishigan, you know, and then the team up north. And in a way, the Ohio State faithful react whenever they lose to Michigan. There's obviously a lot of passion there. I just feel like this is like a real personal vendetta, I hate you situation that I know Ole Miss and LSU are rivals, but this Lane Kiffin exit and Pete Golding introduction in the middle of the playoffs, in the middle of showcasing what current college sports could potentially look like with a coach seemingly having to make a decision
before the most important games of his career, and certainly of his school's existence, has to make a decision on whether or not he's going. Now, did he put himself in that position to have to make that decision? Yes. But with the way everything was set up, with the transfer portal, whatever it was, and what the money was, and where he was going, and inside the SEC, it was just chaos. cluster. And what Pete Golding did was come in there and lead a team to a couple huge wins in the playoffs and inevitably keep his quarterback and running back who might be the two best players in this entire game. So whenever you talk about the intensity, the environment, the passion, the game, this has everything. The pageantry is going to be ridiculous.
I heard there's chandeliers everywhere. intense while they're tailgating out here so I think these people are going to be dressed very proper I think they're going to look awesome I think they respect their college football Saturdays but I think there's going to be a lot of number ones sent to the head coach of that LSU Tigers team with a lot of words being said that are certainly loud I do appreciate that there's now been a conversation about whether or not it's safe like is it going to be safe for this guy to return and that's when you know you're doing something good
