00:00Trevor Scales and Madeline Burke with you on Friday, September 11th, as we acknowledge the
00:0425th anniversary of the attacks of 9-11. It's fitting that two Americans are taking center
00:09stage in New York. The serendipitous semifinal in the Lone Grand Slam on U.S. oil gave everyone
00:15a reason to rejoice, especially on a day that will forever remain a somber reminder of those
00:20lost back in 2001. 25 years later, we still remember where we were, who we were with,
00:26and how much changed on September 11th, 2001. In the days that followed the tragic event,
00:32sports gave us something we desperately needed, a place to come together, a community, and a sense
00:36of normalcy amidst the unprecedented. In sport and in life, it's the stories that embody courage and
00:42determination that endure. So, on a day in which many ran from danger, Wells Crowther, a former Boston
00:48college lacrosse player, ran towards it to help others escape. Here's the original ESPN feature
00:55from 2011, the story of the man in the red bandana. Wells Crowther was posthumously awarded
01:00the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump on Tuesday for his heroism during
01:04the September 11th attacks. His mother, Allison, and his sister, Paige, accepted the nation's
01:09highest civilian honor on his behalf. Wells' father, Jefferson Crowther, died in 2019, but
01:15before he passed, he was able to see the birth of the red bandana game, a tradition to honor
01:20Wells and his legacy. Yeah, it is. Trevor Scales, Madeline Burke with you. The best from a crazy
01:26week two in college football. We give you highlights of the best catches, rushes, and dimes from over
01:3140 games. And can I interest you in the first massive upset of the season? Someone stepped on
01:35a duck, plus the Buckeyes and Longoings gave us an absolute classic, a Hollywood ending.
01:41Now, you might recognize Arian Carter from this video of him shaving his head in solidarity with
01:46his girlfriend, Mariah Bryant, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. Or perhaps you
01:51might recognize the Tennessee linebacker from the headlines regarding his one-game suspension
01:55from the NCAA after Carter's agent paid for a $427 flight to an NFL training facility, an amount,
02:02Trev, that he did repay when he took his talents back to the collegiate level.
02:06Yeah, while most folks were nonplussed about the NCAA's decision to suspend Carter for the punishment,
02:12I am most folks, by the way, the Vols' linebacker decided to make some good out of it,
02:16setting up a donation system for the rest of the season to eventually give towards cancer research.
02:22$427 for every tackle made, $500 for each sack, a grand for every pick or forced fumble,
02:27and five racks for any time he hits paid dirt.
02:31And it's a way to spin that thing into a positive.
02:33Absolutely. Eight plane tickets worth of donations. We're here for it.
02:37But you know what? Way to keep us talking about it in a good way.
02:40That's right, man. You find a way to beat the beast that is the NCAA.
02:44Especially when the rules, it's like, what are we? How? Make it make sense.
02:48A lawless land. But we're here for it.
02:49And that'd be T-Scales. Holler.
03:17And that's right, Matt.
