http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=3887550&sportCat=ncf Man-made devices wouldn’t have been able to measure the size of Kiffin’s smirk. Problem is, Kiffin was spectacularly and laughably wrong. He was so wrong that Florida AD Jeremy Foley issued a statement that all but called 33-year-old Kiffin a punk.
