Staying in that state of Mississippi, let's kick it over to our interview with Michael Katz of the Daily Journal in Mississippi.

This is a really good interview. I think you guys are going to appreciate it and we touch on the egg bowl, of course.

It's not just Ole Miss talk here.

All right, well, we're joined now by Michael Katz who covers Ole Miss for the Mississippi Daily Journal.

I give him a follow on Twitter at Michael L Katz and that's with Zee.

And give a follow to the Facebook group too with Ole Miss discussion with Parrish offered and Michael Katz.

Michael, thank you so much for joining me. I really appreciate it.

Hey, thanks for having me. How are you doing today?

Oh, man, I'm doing good, but I'm not doing as well as Lane Kiffin and then Ole Miss Rebels coming off of such a big win there against Texas A&M.

I want to ask you all about that, but before I get to that, you know, I caught one of your interviews there with Paul Feinbaum.

And I had no idea until I heard that that you actually, you know, have a previous experience there with Lane Kiffin going back to your days at Southern Cow.

Can you tell me a little bit about that and how have you seen Kiffin grown as a head coach since that time?

Yeah, it's funny. Every time you think the world can't get any smaller, it somehow does that, you know, eight years after I graduated with Lane Kiffin

and I would both be in Oxford, Mississippi of all places.

But yeah, I know he was the head coach when I was a student reporter for the Daily Trojan.

I covered him in 2012, was the year I traveled with the team.

He was, he was firing in 2013 and a lot has happened since then.

And that was one of the things that Paul was really interested in is just kind of hearing how he's kind of different.

And the way I get the best way I can sum it up is, you know, obviously there's a big difference between a 30-something year old and a 40-something year old just in terms of maturity and the way they handle things.

But I think the biggest thing for me is I think Lane is having a lot more fun with kind of being, you know, part of the joke and the brand, if you will.

I think he enjoys kind of poking fun at himself and other people on Twitter, I don't know if he was necessarily super comfortable with that aspect of it.

You know, during his USC days, he's really kind of, he's done a really nice job of laughing at himself and the things around him.
