VIDEOS OF THE DAY
1) Jennifer Brogdon put this video together…
Soccer junior Emily Grant, whose mother, Rose, is in remission after battling breast cancer three years ago. Friday’s soccer game with Auburn in Nashville (7 p.m. CT) is the Commodores’ “Power in Pink” game to raise breast cancer awareness. Watch Video
2) Schulzie interviewed freshman football kicker Eric Frieman, who made his collegiate debut against Eastern Michigan. Cool story- Frieman had never donned a jersey on the sideline of a football game… ever. Watch Video
QUOTE OF THE DAY
DT Adam Smotherman, who is expected to play for the first time this year Saturday:

“I’m looking at 10 to 15 plays, just working back in. It’s going to be so great. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with standing on the sidelines.”

SONG OF THE DAY
I’ll be hangin’ tough in Athens this weekend.
My wife’s favorite “New Kid” was Joey. My favorite one was the guy who went on to bigger and better things after the group broke up.
Also, make sure you check out the baseball bat guitar solo at the 2:18 mark. Legendary.
