Nobody Puts Layla in a Corner, Except the Accidental $29,000 Tip That Notre Dame is Now Suing Over

But then this bizarre story popped up, and since Notre Dame’s involved, people can’t get enough of it: the school accidentally tipped a caterer for sporting events $29,387. Wondering if it were an error, she claims to have called the school three times. They never responded. So, she went and paid her bills and bought a car. You know what happened next: Notre Dame claimed the tip was an error, it should have been $29.87, and has filed a lawsuit against her.

Back to the Vols-Gators. Lane Kiffin actually said this: “If you go off the past and what happened the last two years when we’ve lost by 63 points combined, I’m surprised [the betting line] is not higher.” Backpedaling? (Fast forward to the :45 second mark.) He sure isn’t displaying the braggadocio he did a couple months ago.

Urban Meyer has called this summer’s trash talk by Kiffin “water under the bridge.” Calm before the beatdown?

Smells like a 52-7 kind of game, right? The Vols couldn’t move the ball (208 yards) at home against a pedestrian UCLA defense last week, their QB, Jon Crompton, is getting blasted for his 93-yard, 3-interception effort against the Bruins, and Florida, according to know-nothing pollsters, were only the most overwhelming preseason No. 1 history of college football. We couldn’t live with ourselves if we picked the Vols.

But we like the Yellow Jackets tonight in Miami, despite a suspect secondary that could get torched by Jacory Harris.
