Lane Kiffin's own words come back to bite him, MLB's long winter & Paige Spiranac's Halloween costume tease!
Lane Kiffin's own words come back to bite him, MLB's long winter & Paige Spiranac's Halloween costume tease!
'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.
Over the hump and safely onto the other side of the week. Is this the biggest weekend of the year to date?
I think it might be.
We've got football all weekend long, obviously. Duh. More importantly, we also have Halloween, which lands on a Saturday. I did some big J digging, and it's the last time that'll happen until 2037. True story. Eleven years! Lord knows what this place will look like in 11 years, but I assume if this column is somehow still alive, it'll be run by a robot. That's almost a guarantee.
Beyond all of that, we also get an extra hour of Halloween this weekend! That's right. The dreaded "fall back" weekend is upon us. I loved this time of year in college, but that was, admittedly, a long time ago. Nothing hit better than being at a party and seeing the iPhone 4 clock switch back to 1 a.m.
It was the best.
But I have kids now, and they do not care what the clock says. So, come Sunday morning when it says 5:30, they'll be up and ready to roll.
"Just put them to bed later!"
Doesn't work for a 2-year-old, folks. They don't care. Hard hats on, parents. We're all in this together.
On that note, welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one where Lane Kiffin, somehow, finds something else to complain about. College football fans ain't having it.
Nor should they.
What else? I've got Paige Spiranac teasing her Halloween costume ahead of the big day, another subdued baseball celebration last night, and where did this MLB postseason rank for you?
I gotta be honest ... it wasn't great. And now we're going into a lockout.
The vibes aren't the best right now! But we'll get into it.
OLIVIA DUNNE POURS BEERS LIKE A PATRIOT WHILE HER LSU TIGERS RUN UP THE SCORE, GATOR BAIT & LANE'S SUBTLE SHOT
Grab you a tiny violin for Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers, and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!
Let's get this ball rolling, because the rain has finally stopped here in Florida for the first time since Sunday and I've got a pumpkin patch to get to before it starts back up.
Big weekend of college football, as I said earlier. Now, I hate to jump ahead a week, but Lane Kiffin has left me no choice.
For about six months now, fans have had Nov. 7 circled on their calendars. It's shaping up to be, arguably, the greatest weekend of college football ever.
And, of course, Alabama-LSU. That's the big one, right?
... Right?
...... RIGHT?!
"If someone thinks the SEC wants us to win this year after whats been going on, they must have just been on Mars the last four months. So I guess when I look at it that way, Im not surprised."
So, Lane Kiffin sent shots at the SEC for next weekend's big game not being in primetime, which is hilarious for a couple different reasons.
So, when Lane was at Ole Miss, everyone was out to get him. Now, he's at LSU and ... everyone's out to get him?
See a pattern? It's silly. I used to love Lane Kiffin, by the way. He was a content machine. He was fun, and likable, and somewhat relatable.
Now? I think he just whines a lot.
