It’s September 19. All the hatred of an entire state is focused on one man and on one team

All the rage of Rebel nation fills the sticky air. Red solo cups and paper plates smeared with chicken nugget grease litter the grove.

Lane Kiffin, the most hated man in the state of Mississippi has assembled a $40 Million roster to defeat his former team — a team that HE took to the postseason for the first time since integration.

The tension hanging in the humid air in the visitors locker room is palpable. Anything can happen in this moment.

And then, in this moment, Coach O — the man who has coached both teams. The ONLY man who has coached both teams. And reached the pinnacle of the highest mountain in college football with one of them — rips his shirt off in this moment and gives a hype speech that would make mere mortals run through a brick wall and will make these young gladiators, these trained killers go onto that field and become more than young men. They will become THE LSU TIGERS. Coach O knows what that means, and what is more, every loser wearing blue and red in that stadium knows what that means. Deep down inside, they know.

Listen to me: WE AINT LOSING THAT GAME TO OLE PISS!
