Landry Kiffin had no shortage of SEC colors in her orbit over the weekend, and that was enough to spark a social media pile-on.
The daughter of LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, who also goes to Ole Miss, backed Texas in the Red River Rivalry matchup against Oklahoma and wrote, “a change of scenery,” alongside the post. That choice came on top of her visible support for her father’s LSU team and for Ole Miss, where she is a student. Her boyfriend, linebacker Whit Weeks, is also tied to LSU.
That kind of mix-and-match fandom didn’t sit well with everyone online. In her Instagram comments, critics took aim at the rotating loyalties.
“Just can’t pick a winning team 🤦,” one fan joked. “Bro lsu AND Texas lost 😭😭 yo please don’t root for ole miss gang 🙏🏻,” one fan added.
“Didn’t your boy play for LSU? 😂,” one fan added.
But Landry Kiffin was simply taking in a major rivalry game, and with neither LSU nor Ole Miss involved, it was hardly a declaration of war. Still, in 2026, that was enough to draw plenty of noise.
While she watched Texas fall to Oklahoma, her dad was dealing with a rough Saturday of his own. Lane Kiffin’s LSU team was upset at Kentucky, and the coach made clear afterward that the Tigers’ sloppiness cost them.
He pointed to a punt return touchdown by Kentucky and said, “If you don’t execute, you don’t execute,” Kiffin told reporters. “The punt return, you got a player there tackling him and doesn’t tackle him, and he goes outside and, you know, on the long run, he swooped out of a gap and the ball goes for a long run.
If you don’t do fundamentally sound stuff, you get exposed versus good teams.”
Kiffin also said LSU left the door open too long. “When the chance comes in the fourth quarter, you can’t let ’em hang around,” Kiffin told reporters.
“We had the ball ahead and then we turned the ball over. And another chance to end it there so they don’t get it back.
Obviously, things go the other way, you look at yourself first.”
The loss dropped LSU to 4-2.

Ole Miss Heads Into Missouri With One Painful Offseason Decision Looming
Ole Miss gets Missouri on October 17 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and the matchup comes with an offseason wrinkle that has already reached beyond one Saturday in October. The Tigers now have former Rebels Austin Simmons, Cayden Lee and Chris Graves Jr. on their roster, a reminder of how quickly uncertainty can reshape the edges of a program.
The backdrop here is Trinidad Chambliss, whose eligibility for the 2026 season had been in question before he won a legal injunction that cleared him to play. Missouri benefited from the uncertainty in the meantime, with Simmons and Lee turning in breakout seasons after transferring, leaving Ole Miss to face not just an SEC opponent but one more uncomfortable reminder of what was at stake.

Ahmad Hardys Status Keeps A Dangerous Future Ole Miss Matchup In Focus
Missouris backfield remains a talking point heading into a matchup Ole Miss has had circled, with head coach Eli Drinkwitz offering another update on running back Ahmad Hardys recovery. Hardy still has not begun the two-week ramp-up period and has not returned to practice, leaving his availability unresolved as the Tigers work through the early part of the week.
For Ole Miss, that uncertainty matters because Hardys status could shape how dangerous Missouri looks when the teams line up. Drinkwitz also pushed back on the rumor mill surrounding the injury, saying he would make it public once Hardy is back at practice, but for now the Rebels are left waiting on a clearer read before the matchup comes into focus.
