The U.S.' Isner and France's Mahut took part in an epic three-day battle, with Isner finally prevailing 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68. The longest-ever match, which was twice suspended because of darkness, lasted 11 hours, five minutes, and the fifth set alone took 8 hours, 11 minutes. Both served more than 100 aces, and the players went 167 games without breaking serve. Of note is that the scoreboard gave out before the players did
Two storylines dominated the 2010 college football season: Cam Newton's off-field saga and Boise State's worthiness as a national championship participant. When Chris Petersen's third-ranked Broncos took the field in Reno, the latter talking point proved moot. After allowing Nevada to chip away at a 17-point lead, Boise put itself in position to steal back the victory with a 53-yard pass from Kellen Moore to Titus Young. But typically reliable kicker Kyle Brotzman missed the would-be game-winner from 26 yards, then missed a 29-yarder in overtime. "It is the greatest victory this university has ever had, I can tell you that," Nevada coach Chris Ault said

Lefty's third green jacket was made all the sweeter by the presence of his wife, Amy, who had been undergoing breast cancer treatment and hadn't attended a tournament in almost a year
