Mississippi State University

Yeah

... our, our garnet looks more like Mississippi State's color than it does, like, the garnet of the '80s or the '90s.

It's, it's funny how many different shades we've been over, over the generations.

Well, I've pointed out to people who are like, "Well, we need to go back to the traditional garnet." I'm like, "Well, the, the, w- which exactly traditional garnet are you talking about?" Because if you want to go down memory lane, you can go and look at uniforms that, um, we, we...

Traditionally, there are no political speeches at the Ground Zero commemoration, where victims' relatives read aloud the long list of names and added personal messages.

Remembrance is extended far from the attack sites, including beams of light projecting from New Hampshire's Mount Washington, a stair climb at Mississippi State University's football stadium, and a ceremony at Honolulu's 9-11 Memorial.

Diesel prices in the U.S. have hit yet another record, soaring past $6 a gallon on average as Washington's war with Iran disrupts the world's flow of fuel.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have held talks before a summit in New Delhi.

And by the way, this was not the only school that this was happening at, but this was the one in our state that we've got to pay for.

By the way, Mississippi State University, they had celebrations as well.

Shame on you folks.

Unbelievable.

Despite what Paul Feinbaum and Stephen A. Smith may argue about on first take, Texas is not under the most pressure this week of any of the SEC schools playing Big Ten schools.

It's Mississippi State.

Why? Because Mississippi State, according to ESPN, is a one and a half point favorite on the road against Minnesota.

And why would I say Mississippi State is under the most pressure? Because they're unranked, Minnesota's unranked, right? So why are they under the most pressure? What is our argument about the SEC, right? Our argument about the SEC and why it is the best conference in America is that we have the deepest, most competitive conference in America.

And no, our upper echelon may not be as good as Ohio State, may not have been good as Indiana.

You may have had the two best teams in the entire country.

And as long as it's a close game, all right, so Ohio State's the best team in the country.

Whatever.

And I can't wait.

Oh, and Dak Prescott is a Mississippi State alum, by the way.

So about to be built ass and more away than one in that rivalry.

Yeah, that's facts.

The Vikings will defeat the Packers.

The Gophers will win over this mighty SEC opponent, Mississippi State, which, by the way, as we are terrified of them, they're picked to finish 15 out of 16 in the SEC, and they went 1-7 last year, but it's a great opponent.

And you know who's got... large testicles for being a weenie, P.J. Fleck.

He was criticizing Michigan for not playing better opponents in the non-conference season after he played a team that Mankato State would kick the living crap out of in last week.

I'm Mike Grimm.

The University of Minnesota football team welcomes an SEC team to Minneapolis for the first time since 1959, when Mississippi State plays the Gophers tomorrow.

We'll get a preview

next.

I'm blessed to have a family member who owns a high-end veterinary clinic.

I've also got a relationship with Mississippi State University, which has an excellent veterinary program.

So I've got access to great fact-based advice when I've got questions about my dogs, and I try to share that when I can.

As I said earlier, I believe you'd do well to think of your dog like a human athlete in some ways.
