The War in review

There have been countless documentaries, movies and games produced covering World War II but none that I have seen are quite as good as Ken Burns 'The War'. He stated that he did not want to do another war documentary after completing 'The Civil War'. However he changed his stance after many years of people asking him to cover this war. But the deciding factors were two statistics: 1) Every day we are losing 1,000 World War II veterans in the United States every day 2) an unbelievably high number of high school students across the nation believe that the United States fought along side the Germans AGAINST Russia.

This has been an excellent documentary highlighting some of the people involved in the war without focusing on the generals or even the equipment used. The people highlighted were from four small towns in America that were changed forever by the war. One of those towns was Mobile, Alabama. But it wasn't only limited to people who served, it included family members who were affected by their friends and family serving in the armed forces.

The documentary, broken up into a seven part series aired its last episode last night. However they announced it will be reairing on Wednesday nights later this year, so if you missed it the first time around check it out, you will not regret it.

Three mistakes....and Willie?!?

No, I didn't do anything wrong or anything like that. I'm talking about the game Saturday against Florida State. It was a very close, defensive game and the winner was going to be the team with the least amount of mistakes and unfortunately that was not Alabama. Although we only made 3 mistakes, the last two made the difference.

First was an interception. The second however gave FSU 7 points by fumbling the ball inside their own 10 yard line on 3rd down and long. Wilson was trying to make something happen for a first down and made this mistake. The third mistake took the wind out of the sails though. It was a breakdown in coverage that allowed a short pass to turn into a very long run for a touchdown. However, even though the three mistakes gave FSU a huge advantage and ultimately won the game they still scored again and make it a close game.

Well, I was talking to mom earlier today and I told her that Willie Nelson was scheduled to play the Wharf amphitheater in Orange Beach next month and she went crazy. She insisted I get tickets because she has always wanted to see Willie Nelson in concert. So we are in Section 103 Row Y for Willie Nelson on Saturday, November 3rd 2007.
