Just a couple of other thoughts from the weekend:
- What an experience at Tennessee. Even though the Bearcats lost, I left Neyland Stadium smiling. For those of you who know me well this may sound very surprising because I get very emotional when it comes to the Bearcats. However, every Tennessee fan that I encountered was so friendly, welcoming and truly glad to have us visit absolutely blew me away. I'm sure it's not the same when Florida or Kentucky come to town, but that kind of behavior left such a positive, lasting impression. Can't say I've ever been treated so well even at home games of any team that I follow. Best of luck to the Vols the rest of the way.
- All the 9/11 tributes were very well executed and moving. The NFL just get it and made fantastic decisions as far as their memorials were concerned. MLB... not so much. The fact that they did not give the Mets permission to wear FDNY or NYPD hats and that it was former Yankees manager Joe Torre dropping the hammer makes it even more egregious. Doesn't have to be every year, but with Sunday Night Baseball in town it would have been a very classy move.
- What a choke job by Notre Dame at Michigan. If Brian Kelly thought a few signs in his yard and his house getting egged was bad, I can only imagine what his family is going through with a rabid Notre Dame fan base still looking for their first win going into Week 3.
- I recall Colin Cowherd saying he never felt more confident picking a winner as he did picking the Browns to defeat the Bengals in Week 1. Sounds like that decision went about as well as his failed attempt to get a sitcom about his life on CBS.
- I enjoyed seeing the Steelers go down in flames to the Ravens.
