Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss has a rather mild reaction to jersey theft

Maybe it was the adrenaline of lifting the Egg Bowl still coursing through his veins, but Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss had a much milder reaction than expected after Mississippi State fans reportedly stole his jersey hours before the Egg Bowl.

But a mild reaction doesn't mean he let them off the hook. Chambliss called them out how it needed to be, brushing it off as a silly something they "can't get caught up in."

Trinidad Chambliss on jersey theft

“I thought it was kind of funny, but it’s very disrespectful, honestly,” Chambliss said postgame, according to On3’s Jake Thompson.

“It kind of shows you what kind of school Mississippi State is. They’ve always had brawls and fights and whatnot. We can’t get too caught up in that, but that was very disrespectful.”

Given it was his jersey that was stolen, Chambliss could have handled it very differently and entirely rip the Miss State fanbase, but he didn't.

Their head coach, Lane Kiffin, never the one to let anything like this pass, did.

“This will be a great game today. It’s a very passionate rivalry. I mean, shoot, at 10 p.m. last night, luckily our great (equipment manager) Ken Crain put secret cameras in the locker room so we could watch Mississippi State break into our locker room and steal things,” Kiffin told ESPN's Marty Smith in his pre-Egg Bowl interview.

“We reported it to Mississippi State, and they said ‘We’ll put security on it.’ And how about this? At 3 am in the morning, they break in and take Trinidad (Chambliss)‘s jersey! Guess you can expect nothing less from these people.”

In another picture from the post-Egg Bowl ceremonies, Chambliss was spotted posing with equipment manager Crain with his jersey and the Egg Bowl. It could mean that it was either recovered, or it was just them rubbing salt in Mississippi State's wounds.

The later possibility would be the one most Ole Miss fans would like to believe in.
