Music City Miscue Gives Vanderbilt a Win Over NC State No One Saw Coming

Music City Miscue Gives Vanderbilt a Win Over NC State No One Saw Coming

Call this one the Music City Miscue. N.C. State quarterback CJ Bailey fumbled in the end zone while trying to take an intentional safety in the final seconds and essentially handed Vanderbilt a 35-31 victory no one saw coming in Nashville. It was as improbable a finish as the Music City Miracle, the famous last-second kickoff return in January 2000 that gave the NFL’s Tennessee Titans a 22–16 playoff win over the Buffalo Bills. “I can’t put into words what I felt. … You get one of those in a lifetime,” Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said. “We cheated the football gods today and got away with it.” According to ESPN, college football teams were 1,046-1 over the last 20 seasons when having the ball and the lead with 10 seconds to go in a game. The lone loss: Michigan falling to rival Michigan State in 2015. Leading 31-28, Bailey and the Wolfpack (1-2) were attempting to milk the clock on the final snap. They faced a fourth-and-3 play from their 5-yard line with six seconds …

Fans in Ole Miss’ Grove Mock Lane Kiffin but Tout Their ‘Hospitality’ as He Returns With LSU

Fans in Ole Miss’ Grove Mock Lane Kiffin but Tout Their ‘Hospitality’ as He Returns With LSU

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Only one year ago, Mississippi fans hailed Lane Kiffin as the coach who helped them beat border-state rival LSU. On Saturday, as the No. 8 Rebels prepared to host No. 7 LSU, Ole Miss fans were eager to mock and heckle Kiffin in myriad ways — and did so amid abundant security measures designed to ensure any expressions of betrayal, resentment or anger didn’t get out of hand as the lightning-rod coach returned to campus, this time with the Tigers. The scene made Jessica Perkins, a 47-year-old Oxford-area dentist and Ole Miss graduate, a bit nervous as she stood under a tent on the edge of the university’s famous, tree-lined tailgating area known as The Grove. She noted lightheartedly that “absolutely nothing good” can happen when “the added animosity of the Kiffin situation” is layered upon longstanding rivals indulging in a full day of alcohol consumption in oppressively hot weather — mostly sunny and in the mid-90s Fahrenheit. “Let’s just play football and ignore the whole elephant in the room,” Perkins …

College Sports Are Great – The Atlantic

College Sports Are Great – The Atlantic

For a decade, I’ve been a member of a faculty committee that works closely with the athletics department at Northwestern University. A fellow professor once complained to me about the special admissions considerations that athletes receive, arguing that we could admit more oboists if athletes didn’t get so many spots. At the time, the university was being sued as part of athletics-department scandals involving sexual harassment and hazing. One case was dropped, and others were settled without the university admitting wrongdoing. During the same period, the university announced the construction of a brand-new football stadium that would be the most expensive ever built for a college team. It was a lot to digest all at once. In answer to my colleague, I nodded in agreement, thinking, Yeah, more oboists. But as I considered the mission of our university—helping students decide what they want to do after college, cultivating the knowledge and skills they need to achieve their goals, supporting faculty research, and raising capital to ensure that we can continue to do that work—I became …

Atlanta Braves Clinch 8th Playoff Berth in 9 Years With Victory Over Astros

Atlanta Braves Clinch 8th Playoff Berth in 9 Years With Victory Over Astros

HOUSTON (AP) — The Atlanta Braves held a subdued celebration when they clinched a playoff berth Friday night after missing out last season. The first-place Braves beat the Houston Astros 6-2 to punch their ticket to the postseason for the eighth time in nine years. They secured at least a National League wild card and reduced their magic number to three for winning the NL East. Afterward there was no wild celebration, but rather a simple toast with bubbly before they began looking ahead. “We’ve got our eyes on bigger and better things,” outfielder Michael Harris II said. “We’re trying to win the East. So got to go out there and do what we know we can do and hopefully we can celebrate big for that.” First-year manager Walt Weiss echoed the sentiment shared by Harris. “Everything you get in this league is earned,” Weiss said. “I’ve said it a few times this year, but great group, what they’ve overcome this year, and hopefully some bigger celebrations ahead.” Harris, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson …

Dodgers Owner Mark Walter Sued Over Alleged Failure to Disclose Federal Probe to Policyholders

Dodgers Owner Mark Walter Sued Over Alleged Failure to Disclose Federal Probe to Policyholders

MIAMI (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter and multiple insurance companies he owns have been sued, alleging they failed to disclose an ongoing federal probe to customers while directing policyholders’ money into Walter’s other companies. The lawsuit lists Walter, Delaware Life Insurance Co., Clear Spring Life and Annuity, TWG Global Holdings and Walter’s Guggenheim Partners investment firm as defendants. Ira Rosner, a 67-year-old Florida man, brought the class-action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Miami on Wednesday. He purchased a policy from Delaware Life in April and he had until late May to withdraw his money without penalty. However, the company did not disclose the investigation to him until June, Rosner is seeking a jury trial in the lawsuit that seeks damages for negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and aiding and abetting fraud. TWG Global didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit. Walter has been under investigation since last year by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and the Securities and Exchange Commission following a whistleblower complaint regarding alleged …
