There was a time—though both sides deny it—when Lane Kiffin was the toast of Knoxville. The happy hour seemed only to last 45 minutes after Kiffin used a bathroom break to bolt to Southern California, where he would later be unceremoniously fired in a parking lot after his 15th loss in four years.
Kiffin is a national championship offensive coordinator under Nick Saban now, and while on a recruiting trip through Tennessee he used to opportunity to troll Volunteers fans:

Now, Vols aren't hard to troll. I once detached a drunken Vols fan from reality by simply saying, "Cool Texas 'T' tattoo you got there, brother" over and over while we were both smoking cigarettes like the two dipshits we were outside of Nashville hotel.
So yeah, they took the bait.

Well, that's one way to handle an internet feud. But don't worry, Alabama Nation was there to defend its prince.

Vols fans will be riding that express any time soon.
