| Alabama Crimson Tide |
|
| Next Week: Arkansas, Auburn |
Is this the year that brings the Tide back to prominence? With home games against seemingly everyone that matters until
Auburn at season's end, Tide fans are sure hoping so. With Western Carolina and Vanderbilt as warm ups, Bama should be 2-0
heading into home games against Arkansas and Georgia. The non conference schedule contains only Florida State as a challenge
- and let's face it, Florida State ain't exactly Florida State these days.
Assuming a 5-1 record in the first two plus nonconference games and wins against Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Alabama
will need two wins against Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia and LSU (all home games) to have Zook in position to get win
number 10 in the Peach Bowl. But two wins against those four is too much to ask.
Spectator Prediction: 8-4, 5-3 in the SEC

Notice To Northerners Moving South
* Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed on how to use it shortly.
*
Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean Southerners can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
* If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel
pickup with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This
is what they live for.
* Get used to hearing, You ain't from around here, are ya?
* Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you, either.
* If you hear a Southerner exclaim, Hey, y'all, watch this! Stay out of his way.
These are likely the last words he will ever say, or worse still, that you will ever hear.
* If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most minuscule accumulation
of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything from the store. It
is just something you're supposed to do.

In Sherman's Wake
Lessons Learned From Fallujah
By L. Sherman
There were scores of lessons learned from the United States failure in Fallujah. Sadly, most of these lessons were learned
by the insurgents and not by the U.S. The main lesson the insurgents learned is that the United States apparently will not
play tough when toughness is required. As a result there have been numerous attacks and assaults with the intent of demoralizing
and embarrassing the U.S.
Pure Chaos
In the latest attacks in Baghdad, Baquba, Ramadi, Mosul, and Falluja, nearly seventy people (early estimates) were killed
in coordinated and simultaneous attacks including the use of small arms fire, RPGs, and multiple car and truck bombs. There
are reports of insurgents and security police working hand in hand in Fallujah, and there are reports of al-Qaeda operating
out of Fallujah. In short, pure chaos is taking place in major cities in Iraq. Similar acts in the United States would
result in a massive lockdown and the possible application of Marshall Law. However, in Iraq it all appears to be taken with
a grain of salt. This is clearly evident in the Pollyanna statement made by General Mark Kimmitt. Fox News reports that General
Kimmitt, coalition deputy operations chief, stated, "Coalition forces feel confident with the situation.
Where's the Beef?
There is clearly no end in site for the insurgent attacks in Iraq. The U. S. stacked the deck against itself when
it failed to back up its tough words with tough action when four contractors where killed in Fallujah. And President Bush,
by approving the lack of action in Fallujah, likely stacked the deck against his reelection this November. The current situation
in Iraq begs the question could John Kerry do any worse?
"If I had known the difference between antidote and anecdote, my friend Bob Synder would still be
alive today. He got bit by a copperhead; I'm reading him funny stories out of Reader's Digest." Ron White
"Brian" the teacher would ask. "Can you spell cat?"
I would look at the class and say "K-A-T...I'm
out of here"
I would walk back to my desk looking so cool because I missed that word on purpose. I would sit down at my
desk, next to the dumbest kid in class and say, Cat? I'm not really that stupid. I know that there is two T's in Cat" Brian

Iraq-Iran War
Who To Root For?
|
| by Lewis Grizzard |
Tossing out those who hadn't heard about the war, didn't have an opinion, were drunk, who thought I was a member of some
strange religious sect, who were busy writing Oral Roberts a check, or who were blowing bubbles with their saliva when they
were asked, the results were too close to call.
One man did put the matter in its proper perspective, however.
"It's like asking to pick between cancer and AIDS," he said.
Perhaps what we all have here is the same position the late Georgian, Bill Munday, pioneer sportscaster, found himself
in one evening before he was to broadcast the Yale-Harvard football game. "Who do you prefer in tomorrow's game?" a Harvard
student asked him, "Yale or fair Harvard?"
"Neither one," he said. "You're all a bunch of damn Yankees and I hope you both lose."

About the Editors
Jarrod H. Cline was born in Dalton, Ga. He graduated from college with a B.S. in political
science, earning a four year degree in seven short years during which time he co-founded The Kennesaw Spectator with L. Sherman.
An Army veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, he lives in Chatsworth, Ga. with his wife and two daughters. He is a
member of Spring Place United Methodist Church, average attendance just shy of 50. Mr. Cline avoids taking the interstate
when at all possible because he prefers the cows, general stores and barns of small highways to the McDonald's and
skyscrapers of I-75.
L. Sherman has been compared to the brillance of Matt Drudge and Sean Hannity, but he
remains a very humble person that prefers working behind the scenes instead of in the spotlight (unlike his counter-part,
Jarrod H. Cline). L. Sherman's flexible style allows him to be at the same time both hard hitting and comical. He lives by
General Patton's creed that it's not important for others to know when he's joking and when he's not - it's only important
for him to know. L. Sherman follows breaking news almost 24/7, but he does allow time in his weekly schedule to enjoy the
South's best sport - stock car racing.
