I don’t have to say anything to let you know what day this is.  This is September 11 which has become a day of remembrance for every American for the rest of our lives.  We now call this day 9/11.  It is a symbol of those who would ruin our way of life and of the heroism and sacrifice of those who lost their lives doing what they do every day.  Now, I am not saying everything about our country is great, but this is a great country with great people.  We try give aid to those in other parts of the world when disaster strikes.  Most of us look in horror the images from Cuba the last couple of week as Hurricanes Gustaf and Ike ravaged that country.  Therfore, if you want to stick a finger (a la Rick Flair) in the eyes of those who would seek to ruin our country, follow my advice.

Search the Net. . . . . Log on to your internet and go to your favorite site.  Maybe it’s ESPN.com, or SI.com, or Amazon.com, or even Collegefootballtopten.com.  I don’t care, search the net!  The internet is one of the things that make this country great.  It is to information what the Space Shuttle was to space exploration.  Go ahead, check your fantasy football stats and teams, check on that eBay transaction or read the New York Post, but, darn it, just get on the internet and search.

Watch some TV. . . . . Make that cable or satellite.  Don’t just settle for rabbit ears; no, pay money for it.  Make sure you can watch ESPN, Fox Sports Southwest, or the Mountain West Conference Network.  Check out the Battle for the Butter between Maine and Stony Brook.  That game may not be on TV, but it will be covered by Mike and Mike in the Morning on Monday morning.  Watch Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Phil, or Oprah.  I don’t care, just watch some TV!

Buy Something. . . . . . Go to Wal-Mart or Target or J. C. Penney.  I don’t care where you go.  Go to the grocery store to stock up on tailgating supplies.  Go to Gameday Connexion and get some sports memorabilia that is autographed.  Go to Amazon.com, Borders.com or even BarnesandNoble.com and buy something.  Buy something in a store or online.  Heck, if you’d like, go to the Collegefootballtopten Bookstore and buy a book or sports apparel.  Maybe you should go out to eat.  If you live in Fort Worth, go to the Railhead tonight and watch the Gary Patterson Show.  If you live in Dallas, go to Ford Stadium on Saturday and watch the Houston vs. Air Force game that was moved to Dallas because of Hurricane Ike.  Maybe we should all root for the service academies this week since they are largely responsible for us having a pretty pretty peacful life for the past 7 years.  You can also support our troops by buying a bag of coffee at any DFW Borders Bookstore and donating it to the troops through the store’s partnership with Soldiers’ Angels.  Please, buy something!

Even though Ohio State is ranked number 1 in my preseason poll, there are 3 SEC teams in my top ten and another that just missed it.  I do respect the Big Ten, but I think that right now there is little competition for Ohio State.  However, you might just laugh at this Ryan Parker song.

Thanks to da Wiz for the tip. Check out his new website.

Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic continue their pentathlon as a part of the Mike and Mike in the Morning show.  Now the two are tied 1-1-1.  Check out the video.
