Both Alabama and CBS had some fun with Lane Kiffin over his popcorn comment.

Kiffin was interviewed by CBS’ Jamie Erdahl before Saturday’s kickoff between his Ole Miss Rebels and the Alabama Crimson Tide. At the end of his interview, Kiffin told viewers to get their popcorn ready” ( watch here).

Well, Kiffin’s team didn’t exactly live up to his hype. The Rebels fell behind 28-0 and lost 42-21.

At halftime, CBS had some fun by putting out buckets of popcorn for its analysts.

Funniest moment: CBS Sports at halftime of Ole Miss/Alabama having Adan Zucker, Brian Jones, and Rick Neuheisel all having buckets of popcorn as Lane Kiffin told Jamie Erdahl in pregame interview, “Get your popcorn ready.” Alabama leads 28-0 at the half. pic.twitter.com/Tsz53zAEWw
