ESPN: They have created the story, the myth, the caricature that is Lane Kiffin. If he fails, his failure may be rougher than any in recent memory. But if he wins – look out. ESPN is not selling him as awful. They are selling him as a story, a wildcard, a maverick for you Palinites, even if in reality he is not. If he wins, they will reward his success because he already is a story. If we beat UF (which I don’t think we will, just sayin) we will 100 percent be the lead story on espn.com, will be the first 5 mins of sportscenter, will be the leading topic on the talking head shows. That is a fact. If Kiff wins the SEC in a few years, it will be nonstop coverage. And if we sniff a NC, they will be all over it. It is a double edged sword, yes, but winning will make you forget it, because Kiff and UT will be all they discuss. And that is a blessing, even if you are too red to see it
