While UCLA’s Kevin Craft was not throwing interceptions during UCLA’s improbable overtime win against 18th-ranked Tennessee, a group of University of Oklahoma athletes were busy getting jumped in a nightclub.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports that he’ll likely make an appearance at the Houston Astros’ minor league camp over the next few days, escorting his son Koby there, as he’s done for the past few years.

Clemens has attended in the past in order to play with his son, who will be trying to make the switch to catcher this season.
