Tennessee baseball assistant coach Ross Kivett was arguing balls and strikes in Tuesday’s elimination game at the College World Series and got tossed. The reaction that followed was all-time. He flipped his lid, threw a binder and had some very choice words for the umpire.

Kivett is listed as the volunteer assistant coach and camp coordinator on the UT site. He also probably coaches one of the bases.
The Vols lost to the Texas Longhorns 8-4 and are eliminated. I live in Tennessee and Peyton Manning was trending after being at the game in Omaha.

I clicked on the topic and here is what I found. Apparently there is such a thing as a Peyton Manning curse. I guess it means getting close but not ever winning a ring? I don’t really get it because he has one, but whatever.
Peyton Manning is in attendance.. it’s been a good run

The only way to truly test the Peyton Manning Curse is for Peyton to come to a game in any sport where Tennessee is favored by like a million points/runs.

Curse or not, they’re out. To make matters worse, their head coach could be headed to LSU. In fact, it’s very possible after his impressive turnaround of the program.
“No, I have not had zero…”
This is a strange way for Tony Vitello to answer the question of whether he’s had any communication with #LSU. pic.twitter.com/6pvCa8wEr8

Tough day to be a Vol and therefore a great day for the rest of the world.
