No football for a week and then that game on national TV with everyone watching.

and the awkwardness of people not knowing how to react. It was a slow building cheer.
Yeah, I remember hearing it. It was incredibly awkward. I couldn't really tell where it came from. I was in the student section, but I don't think it came from there. I always wondered if the guy had planned it all week, just counting down the moments until he could scream "Go to hell Bin Laden" on national tv.

I attended the 1st Dallas Cowboys game after 9/11. I was kinda nervous. I felt, and I still do, that terrorists could do a lot more damage than they did on 9/11 by hitting a football stadium.

I went to my first race right after that. Talladeaga. They have a small airport behind the back stretch bleachers. The whole time I was there all I could do was watch the planes fly overhead and think about how many hundreds of thousands of people were right in this area. Well, that and if I should go to the medic station because I was so dehydrated from all the liquor the night before that I'd stopped sweating.

the Japs stopped our early 1940s run with the attack on Pearl Harbor and Al Qaeda squashed our late 90s run under Sherrill with the 9/11 attacks. If MSU football gets back on another run under Mullen then its obvious the US government will have to move the threat level advisory to the highest available level.

If 911 had not happened, we would have beaten BYU that week and had beaten South Carolina the next week building confidence. We lost to Arkansas by two points and missed a field goal andlost toAlabama by what seven pointsand missed three field goals I believe. It's been 10 years and my math might be off a little.I think we lost to Auburn and South Carolina by two points and BYU by three. That year just sucked all together.

released last night right before your biggest game in some time, you might be on to something.

The Army and the Navy went to Vietnam but they couldn't handle the Vietcong. Marines went in to pull them out and they left Charlie with little doubt. Many of wounded and many dead but most of them were Zipper Heads. Air Force, Air Force don't feel blue, Peter Pan was a Fairy to. My girl friend is a vegetable, she leaves in a hospital. I bought he a new TV, the doctor called it a EKG. Mothers of America meek and mild send to me your sweet young child. If they die in a combat zone, we'll box them up and send them home. One they went to Vietnam, two they had a lot of fun, three they smoked a lot of grass, four they kicked a lot of ***. One- Two-Three-Four, one,two three,four United State Marine Corps. Ooh Rah! Ooh Rah!</p>
