SALT LAKE CITY — Three more fun stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field!

Clemson beat Alabama 35-31 last night, to the surprise of most college football observers, it's fair to say. After the win was clinched, it's fair to say that nearly everyone associated with Clemson was hyped.
