((HT: ABC Columbia))
The OBC had a 14-point lead at home against Tennessee last night...
It didn't last as Joshua Dobbs hooked up with Jason Croom and Tennessee had a monstrous fourth quarter to send the game to overtime.
In the fifth quarter, the Vols kicked a field goal, the Gamecocks went backwards and lost 45-42.
All that caused what is, probably, the shortest Steve Spurrier press conference ever...
Makes you wonder if this week of prep will be one the players at Sakerlina will not like at all...

Mo'Ne Davis: LLWS Star Girl Throws 2nd Straight Shutout vs. Boys
The Little League World Series has grown wildly in popularity over the past several years.
This year ESPN is televising each and every game.
And already, just a few days in, a star has been born.
13-year old Mo'Ne Davis, pitcher for team Philadelphia has become a media sensation. Partially because she's a girl playing with the boys and mostly because she's dominating those boys.
Davis pitched her second game of the series on Friday, throwing a 2-hit shutout as Philadelphia beat Tennessee.
For those keeping track, it's her second shutout win of the series.
And Ms. Davis has drawn the attention of the whole wide world of sports.
As well she should...
Here's the quick version of the highlights

Vols Voice Bobby Denton Passes
((HT: WIVK Radio))
For those of you who have grown up around SEC football and have had the fortune to catch a game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, you heard a particular voice...
Bobby Denton, the PA voice of the Vols and long-time talent for WIVK Radio, has passed away after a brief illness...
From the station:
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of the legendary Bobby Denton. He was part of the core group that built WIVK into the powerhouse radio station that it is today. Many knew him as the PA announcer for UT football games at Neyland Stadium for more than 4 decades. Bobby was instrumental in launching the career of Dolly Parton and was track announcer at the Talladega Superspeedway for several years. Though he retired from WIVK several years ago, Bobby remained a friend to many of us who are still here today. It can truly be said that "there will never be another one like him." Bobby Denton's death early Wednesday followed a brief illness. Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.
Head Coach Butch Jones Tweeted:
“Without Bobby Denton there would be NO “It’s Football Time in Tennessee”! Your voice will be heard forever!”

Strange Bedfellows: Lane Kiffin is the New O.C at Alabama
Wha...what?Yes, you read the headline correctly, former USC, Tennessee and Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin is either a cat with 9 lives or has got some sort of blackmail photos.
Why do we say this?
Because the Mega Powers have now united---Lane Kiffin is joining the staff of Nick Saban...as the offensive coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
We are pretty sure Clay Travis of Outkick The Coverage and pretty much any hardcore SEC Football fan in existence are still doubled over in laughter on this hire for more reasons than we can count.
Kiffin takes the place of Doug Nussmeier who left to take the same job at Michigan.
The adventures/chronicles of the coach we all call "Kiffykins" has been well documented here and on many other blogs. From his strange departure in Tennessee and string of NCAA questions left in his wake to his non-success at USC where he somehow got fired on the way HOME from a loss, on a bus, on the tarmac at an airport, pretty much all of us and probably all of you can't help but laugh about this.
Apparently Kiffin struck up some sort of friendship with Saban, who had him in to consult during the downtime between the end of the regular season and the Sugar Bowl game. We're assuming that may/or may not have impacted Nussmeier's decision to leave.
According to ESPN.com, Kiffin will sign a 3-year deal.
Our question: When Saban steps down, and he's already started hinting that he's thinking of a time where he isn't coaching, does Kiffykins stand a chance of being the coach-in-training?
