Lane Kiffin is happily letting this one false narrative continue on Trinidad Chambliss

Lately, the Grove has been decked out with flags of Trinidad and Tobago as a tribute to Ole Miss football QB Trinidad Chambliss.

It might give off the idea of Chambliss actually being from the Caribbean, but it is a false narrative that both the QB and Coach Lane Kiffin are happily letting run.

The flag is just a hearty, humorous hat tip to Chambliss's name following his three starts being a massive success.

Coach Kiffin opened up on how he finds the whole situation funny.

"I think it’s funny, the flags everywhere. I dropped Knox off at his buddy’s house, and they have a big Trinidad flag in the house. So they got now they got songs about the island and everything, so it’s really awesome," Kiffin said in his presser previewing Washington State week.

Funny because Chambliss has never actually been to much islands, let alone Trinidad and Tobago.

"I don’t like to kind of kill the story, but you know that he’s not from an island. He’s from Michigan, his dad’s from South Bend, Indiana, and he’s been to one island in his life on a field trip when he was little, to Mackinac Island in Michigan."

"So he’s never been around blue water, let alone sand and an island. So he doesn’t come from an island, but it’s a great story. Somebody, I think in the South, there’s a saying like, ‘don’t let the facts and details get in the way of good story,’ so maybe we’ll just run with this one."

What Kiffin loves most about all this is Chambliss' story getting all the recognition it deserves.

"I think the Trinidad thing is a great story. I think our fan base loves these stories like this. And having a number of players before, kind of with kids here, and Prieskorn, and how much the community embraces the players here. It’s really awesome. Kind of as their own, you know, like, they’re kind of adopted kids coming in here," Kiffin added.

And for the QB himself, Chambliss is also taking it in good fun.

“No I don’t,” Chambliss said when asked about his thoughts on the whole flag thing.

"He just gave me a pin outside. It’s funny. I love it, all the flags and what not at the tailgate is really cool. My family loves it too.”

What remains to be seen is whether Chambliss continues being Ole Miss's starter at quarterback with Austin Simmons recovering from his ankle injury.

Even if Simmons starts, the Trinidad and Tobago flag has essentially become a part of the culture at the Grove, at least for this season.
