David Bennett's weekly press conferences have always been good for a laugh during football season.  Now, the rest of the nation is finding out the same thing.  Bennett's "Cats and Dogs" clip from Wednesday's press conference leading up to Saturday's game against Catawba became a viral video across the internet.  It started with a mention in an SI.com entry.  From there it went to DeadspinBarstool Sports and eventually ESPN.  Bennett's clip was featured on SportsCenter throughout Friday as well as Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption.  Here's a sampling of the exposure to the Coastal Carolina football program:
