Big Al has some jokes.

Prior to kickoff on Saturday’s Top 15 showdown between No. 1 Alabama and No. 12 Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin met with a CBS sideline reporter for a quick interview before the start of the contest. Kiffin cut out early and said, “get your popcorn,” before tossing the headset back to the crew.

As you can imagine, that moment went viral from the second-year Ole Miss head coach.

Unfortunately for Kiffin, the game didn’t quite go as planned. Alabama scored the first 35 points of the game and cruised to a 42-21 win to stay undefeated on the year.

Late in the game, Big Al — the Alabama mascot — decided to troll Kiffin with his own popcorn bucket. It was another moment that made the rounds on social media, given the circumstances.

Kiffin brought a 3-0 Ole Miss team in Tuscaloosa with plenty of offensive firepower. Many thought this weekend might be the time Saban dropped a game to one of his former assistants.

That wasn’t the case.
