After Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU, every Rebel fan was eager for the chance to play against him, and with the way the SEC schedule lined up, the two faced off in their first SEC game. The game was much less about the teams facing off, but built up to be Lane Kiffin facing the entire school and community.

All Ole Miss fans cared about this season was spoiling their former head coach's return to Oxford, and they did just that, handing LSU a 32-24 loss, which is their first of the Kiffin era. The emotions were high, and after the game, Ole Miss showed that they were ready to troll their former head coach.

Ole Miss broke out Callin Baton Rouge and Neck to troll LSU

When you win a big game, you're entitled to any celebration you want, and after the game Ole Miss showed that they certainly put a ton of thought into what they'd do if they won. As soon as the clock hit 0:00, Ole Miss instantly turned to Garth Brooks, playing Callin' Baton Rouge for the entire fanbase to sing along to.

Callin' Baton Rouge wasn't the only troll Ole Miss had planned for if they won, as after Callin' Baton Rouge played from the loudspeakers, the Rebels' band played Neck in celebration of the win.

The troll isn't exactly original as the Rebels did the same exact thing last season when Lane Kiffin was their head coach as the odd SEC scheduling change forced the Tigers to play back to back Magnolia Bowl's on the road.

While it hurts to see another fanbase singing your songs and trolling you after the game, you earn that right when you win the game. The LSU players and Lane Kiffin are going to have to remember this feeling and carry it the rest of the season to try and ensure they don't end another Saturday feeling this way.

The only issue for the Tigers is if LSU does get revenge on Ole Miss down the line, the Rebels don't have any traditions cool enough to copy.
