Landry Kiffin makes Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin emotional

The head coach of Ole Miss shared an emotional moment on social media. His daughter, Landry Kiffin, and her best friend, McKenzie Lola, were featured in a heartfelt post on the Ole Miss Kappa Kappa Gamma's Instagram page.

The post talked about their special friendship, which has endured since childhood despite moving, different schools, and new friends.

“From the time we were able to talk, Kenzie and I have been inseparable,” Landry shared.

The pair credited the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority for helping them maintain their friendship and form new bonds.

“Growing up constantly moving around and never getting to stay in the same place, I had always hoped for us to finally be together again... little did we know we’d get to live out that dream AND be in the same sorority!!” McKenzie said.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
