OXFORD, Miss. -- Lane Kiffin leans over and peers out the window as the University of Mississippi school plane crawls to a stop Sunday evening at the University-Oxford Airport.
Outside, a thousand Ole Miss fans or more are in full party mode, chanting, "Hotty Toddy, gosh almighty." And, yes, a few are guzzling adult beverages, as Ole Miss' famed tailgating scene has shifted from the Grove to the tarmac.
Kiffin looks around as he stretches and says very simply, "If you're scared, then don't get off this plane."
Kiffin also says maybe he is the one who should be scared because fans start to converge on the plane before he even has a chance to make his way down the stairs.
