Kiffin, Mora Bring Turf Wars to MB

The head football coaches for USC and UCLA now live close to each other in Manhattan Beach.

Do these guys live in your neighborhood?!

ESPN's online USC Report notes that USC football coach Lane Kiffin lives near UCLA football coach Jim L. Mora... or is it vice versa?

Kiffin, having fun defending his turf, set the record straight about a supposed text message he sent Mora. Mora had told reporters, "Guess who’s right around the corner from me? A guy named Kiffin. He sent me a text a couple of weeks ago. He was ‘Yeah, standing in front of your house. You know you’re in Trojan country.’ I just laughed.”
