Lane Kiffin trolls Tennessee with a golf ball

[BrentVU]

OK, I didn't hear about this until today... but when Tennessee visited Ole Miss for a baseball game last Friday, Lane Kiffin was called upon to throw out the first ball (to a hearty cheer of course from the home fans). Instead of throwing a baseball, he pulled a golf ball out of his pocket and threw that to the catcher instead. Pretty funny!

Yeah, but it may have backfired: Tennessee proceeded to sweep all three games: 12-1, 10-3, 4-3. AT Ole Miss.

And after one of the UT home runs in the first game, UT players tossed a plastic mustard bottle to their team mate who hit it after he arrived back at home plate.


PS -- To add insult to injury, when the weekly D1 college baseball rankings came out today, Tennessee replaced Ole Miss as the top-ranked team, jumping up from No 5 last week. Ole Miss fell to 10th, one place below the Vandy Boys.

Fun, for sure, but all in all, a costly mistake by the Rebs?

To which UT baseball Twitter responded with this tweet (note mustard bottle in top corner and golf balls at bottom):

UT followed that up with the tweet below.

In general, I kind of despise the creeping trend of official collegiate social media accounts acting like the WWE and mocking their opponents after vanquishing them. It helps lead to the kind of behavior that prompted this tweet.
