Upset
Chris Bridges, a columnist for MainStreetNews.com of northeast Georgia can sense an upset in the making:
One of the opening-week college football games I am anxiously awaiting is the one between SEC power Alabama and the Hawaii Warriors of coach June Jones.Nah, Hawaii's just a lowly WAC team who are humbled in the presence of a SEC powerhouse...
Hawaii, according to all pre-season publications, will be one of the top offensive teams in the country this fall. The program will continue to improve on defense as well under second-year coordinator Jerry Glanville, the former “Man in Black” head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
I believe there is a strong chance for an upset in this one. Alabama will be re-grouping offensively and will have to hope its defense can slow down Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, a Heisman candidate, enough to stay in the game.

Topanga,
I think this guy is right, but don't tell anyone!!!! I read some reviews of the Alabama team and it looks like they think they are going to walk all over Hawaii, ie, it is only a warmup game. By the way, my wife is from Alabama and no one over there is even giving us the time of day on this game. And I never did thank you for sending me the info to find that great article about Glanville in Iraq. So belated thanks. Keep up the great work!

I hope Bama really is overconfident and then gets blindsided, but UH beat them once already so they might be somewhat wary, or at least the coaches will be. In any case, Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer is a cool cheer, but I don't want to hear it against Hawaii!
