Labor Day is finally here, which means opening day of Tiger Football is FINALLY HERE. The Memphis Tigers play Mississippi today. (I just can't bring myself to fall into the trap of referring to them as Ole Miss, but I digress.) We are in celebration mode, but we also need to be in memorial mode as Tiger fans. Sure, there is much fun and enjoyment to be had as we take on the annually awaited rival (and boy, was it a long off-season), but we also need to remember our fellow American citizens not far from home that are in great need and have suffered a greater loss than we could ever fathom. How blessed we are to have what we have...our lives, our families, our homes. I am really excited about today, but there's another place that will be in the back of my mind, and my deepest prayers go out to them. With that said, I want to post a picture that seems appropriate for today. This was taken in New Orleans outside the Superdome when me and Michael went down there in December of '03 for the New Orleans Bowl game. It's so strange/sad to me, as I reminisce that time and look back at the pictures we took, that a place that was once such a happy, jubilant place of 30+ years of bottled up bowl game glee, is now a miserable, lonely place of chaos and destruction. As I am about to sign out and hop in the shower and get into gameday attire, I have one thing to say, which is quoted from my New Orleans Bowl t-shirt: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
