I’ve never seen “Lane” spelled so creatively.
Alabama fans had fun overreacting to Lane Kiffin’s calls during the Tide’s 54-16 victory over Florida in the SEC Championship Game.
In the interest of keeping this mostly PG-13, we’ll spare you some of the make-momma-blush comments on this fine Sunday morning.
But here are 25 hilarious tweets that summed up the action Saturday.
Lane “%%@!” Kiffin starred in many of them. Who knew that was his middle name?

I will make a donation to any college that hires Lane Kiffin away from Alabama. Save our team #RollTide

There were a few fans in Twitterverse who get it, however.
Man I wish Kiffin would have ran the ball again instead of throwing for a 30 yard gain

Bama is built to run the ball
Kiffin is built to avoid the run
Saban demands run @ half
Kiffin asks if reference still good— Mark Kirkland (@maggiesfavorite) December 3, 2016
Of course, Kiffin had help with delivering the calls.

But even during the run-dominated 98-yard touchdown drive, #RollTide fans had their doubts about their gifted offensive coordinator’s intentions.
Retweet if you think Lane will throw it from the 2. #RollTide #SECChamp25

Nick Saban couldn’t escape, either. He’s usually the one doing the yelling.

Florida had more than its fair share of issues Saturday, too. People noticed.
If you're reading this, you've thrown 3 less interceptions than Austin Appleby today…

Does Austin Appleby understand that he plays for Florida

I feel like I’m watching the movie Groundhog Day, starring Austin Appleby. #Gators #SEC

Austin Appleby should be flogged at half-time if only for making his hot female fans upset by his awful first half performance. #BAMAvsUF pic.twitter.com/M7TEjOvguW
