Remember this bit of Alabama Crimson Tide rumors insanity which surfaced back in September?
So, Kiffin apparently slept with a boosters wife... Lord have mercy.

Bama OC Lane Kiffin shot to the top of Twitter's trending list in a flash, as Twitter users started up an insane game of "telephone" that got just a LITTLE out of control.
How out of control? Well, the "booster's daughter" in question morphed into "Nick Saban's daughter," making the Twittersphere go BANANAS.
If these rumors of Lane Kiffin resigning this morning are true due to sexual interactions w/ Saban's daughter the Interents will break.

For a span of several hours, everybody in the world of the Internets was waiting for the next shoe to drop. Would he challenge Lane Kiffin to a duel? Would Kiffin resign and enter himself in the Witness Protection Program? Just why was Nick Saban's daughter attracted to a guy whose head always comes complete with a 90s-era visor?
Well, it all turned out to be baseless rumor fodder which led to some...ahem, interesting articles around the Web. Like this one. And this one. And this.
However, for just a few moments on a random Thursday in September, we all believed.
