Lane Kiffin vs. Paul Finebaum is one of the most hilarious rivalries in all of college football.
Going all the way back to the days of Finebaum advocating for Kiffin’s firing from USC shortly before it actually happened, the two have a history. And while there is no doubt that Kiffin, always the master troller, plays up his disdain for Finebaum for the sake of the comedy of it, it has produced some gold moments.
Kiffin made headlines during SEC Media Days over the summer when he asked Finebaum ‘what he is good at’ during an interview with the SEC legend:

Last week, Finebaum took a call on his show where a caller asked about Auburn’s matchup against California, at which point Finebaum said there was not a shot Auburn would lose.
“There is no chance Auburn loses to Cal. NONE. Book it,” Finebaum declared strongly.
Of course, Auburn would wind up losing to California, at which point a user on X would resurface Finebaum’s claim. This clip must have come across Lane Kiffin’s timeline, because he wasted no time in trolling his adversary:
? @finebaum What are you good at again?? ?♂️ https://t.co/nWxms4zK1n

“What are you good at again??” Kiffin asked in a tweet directed straight to Finebaum.
Suffice to say, the next Kiffin Finebaum interview should be interesting.
