Later on, Alabama’s mascot “Big Al” donned a bag of popcorn and started dancing during the game. Monday afternoon, Kiffin tweeted a response to the video.

Kiffin’s “get your popcorn” line became a punchline after Ole Miss’ performance in the first half. But in his media availability Monday morning, Kiffin said he called Erdahl to apologize for his actions and said he just got caught up in the moment.
