In his speech on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that the United States is not the global police force.
We’re on the verge of a second civil war.
By noon, a third of the class was gone. As the minutes passed, more kids in my fourth grade class were being pulled out by panicky parents. During lunch, the few of us remaining were confused. The rumor in the cafeteria was that the Chinese had attacked us. The idea of the Commies invading U.S. soil made sense to my 9-year-old mind. Earlier that year, an international crisis had occurred after a mid-air collision between a U.S. Navy plane and a Chinese fighter jet. Diplomatic tensions soon subsided, but sitting in the cafeteria, I figured the only thing that could force my buddies to evacuate our elementary school was a ground invasion of South Florida by the Red Army.
Recent debate over American military intervention in Syria has sparked Cold War memories, and the parallels are stark. As I watched a discussion between Sen. John McCain and French writer Bernard Henri-Lévy at a Washington think tank on YouTube from November, this resemblance became apparent.
Each week, two alligatorSports columnists will debate the biggest looming matchup in college football. Today, Joe Morgan and Phil Heilman preview No. 1 Alabama’s showdown against No. 7 Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.

MIAMI GARDENS — When coach Will Muschamp addressed the media following Florida’s 21-16 loss to Miami on Saturday, there was one group that he singled out — the defense.
The alligatorSports crew embarks on its first road trip of the 2013 season this weekend, heading down the Florida Turnpike to Miami — the general home area of a few of our staff members. While down there, we plan to check out the farm that grows Adam Pincuses. We heard rumors of a radiation leak in the area during early 1992, so we’ll keep you posted. Either way, we expect a pretty exciting trek down to the Magic City. Last year’s inaugural road destination — College Station, Texas, — gave us the collegiate debut of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel as well as a pretty terrifying I-10 standoff with a pissed-off cattle-truck driver. If you’re traveling down along with us, stay cool, be safe and hit up your South Florida friends for a Sun Pass. This week, we have Joe Morgan and Phil Heilman debating the Georgia-South Carolina game.
It was a typical Saturday morning, and I was drawing with my fictional friends — this time it was The Doctor and Donna — when I heard a thump above me.

Florida-Miami was once a huge rivalry, but you wouldn’t know it if you looked at the schedules from the last decade. The two teams have played each other only five times this century. All but one of those were during the Ron Zook era.
Again, we have chosen short-term profits over the long-term well-being of the world.
Henry Russell Sanders said it first.
You’re probably sunburned beyond recognition from Labor Day weekend, still nursing the hangover you’ve been avoiding since the Friday pregame. Slowly, the haze is clearing from your college football festivities, and you’re just barely slogging through your classes. Back to reality — and I hate to tell you this, but it’s not pretty.
According to the Department of Labor, in 1884, the first Monday in September was selected to commemorate Labor Day, a “workingmen’s holiday.”
