The Southern Miss game was moved for Alabama.

Game was finally played in a monsoon in late November at Legion Field.

9/11 fricked up our Natty run that year.

9/11 probably cost Florida a Natty.

They beat Tennessee if the game was played as scheduled. I liked Florida's chances of beating Miami.

That 01 Miami team was overrated.

I believe SC@MSU played the first D1 football game after 9/11.

I recall Bush having a speech that started sometime at halftime. My parents and I watched it through and didn't turn the game back on until it was over.

State was scheduled to play BYU that week. It was rescheduled until the end of the season. BYU ended up being unbeaten and was playing for a BCS spot. The worst officiated game ever in college football history with the Mountain West officials in Starkville.

The next week, we had a Thursday game with South Carolina scheduled, that happened to be the first football game played after 9/11. It was a hard fought defensive game, Carolina won 16-14.

It's crazy how patriotic the country was after 9/11, USA chants and everything.

Now we have people refusing to stand for the anthem.. the most ridiculous thing is the cheering of and the act of burning the American flag during BLM led protests.

This lady affiliated with BLM put out a tweet the other day. It said something like ,were having a great protest ,its great everybody's burning American flags ,this is fantastic. Something to that effect.
