A look-see around today's internets.

Lots of content coming out on the site for you later today, folks, enjoy!  Unfortunately time got away from me this morning, so the links are (once again) not as robust as I'd like.  If you see something I missed, please FanShot it and let us know in the comments.  Also, not that I'm surprised, lots of links about KU-Duke bball vs football schools.  Argh.

David Cutcliffe can't help but think sometimes at how he ended up where he is now. Duke's head coach -- the reigning winner of numerous national coach of the year awards -- had been hired by Charlie Weis at Notre Dame just nine short years ago, but never got to coach a down with the Fighting Irish.

Today's photo credit: Yours truly.  In case you happen to live under a rock, today is 9/11 - we all know what that means.  Take a few moments to remember what happened 13 years ago - gosh has it been 13 years already?  Let's keep discussions non-political today and just be extra cognizant about phrasing, headlines, word choice, etc.  Basically don't give anyone any reasons to get outraged, whether mock or legitimate.  Similar to Pearl Harbor or JFK, this is our generation's "Where were you moment?"  So if you would like to discuss it, let's keep it to this - where were you when you heard about the Twin Towers?
