It's that time of year once again. One of America's premier sporting events is about to take place. The one which identifies itself using Roman Numerals. It is less than forty-eight hours from Super Sunday, and there probably hasn't been this much Yankee pillaging in Atlanta since Sherman's troops were in town 130 years ago.
