Verne Lundquist called his final Iron Bowl, and even got a kiss from Joe Namath
Saturday was the final Iron Bowl (Alabama-Auburn) that CBS announcer Verne Lundquist will call, and he got a special visit in the booth from an old friend: Joe Namath. And, Lundquist even got a kiss from Namath (something that probably reminds you of an incident from 13 years ago):

Rece Davis drops a “Champions of Life” reference for Tennessee
From Andrew Bucholtz’s article on the topic:
The Tennessee Volunteers were eliminated from contention for the SEC’s East Division title and a berth in the conference championship game Saturday when Florida beat LSU, but head coach Butch Jones said his seniors “won the biggest championship – that’s the championship of life.”

Danny Kanell brought the turtleneck back on ESPN
And Twitter most certainly took notice.
