I enjoy the song. It's a shame that due to the South's poor vocabulary and subsequent inability to rhyme it was limited to four verses.

Boiled peanuts are more overrated than the SEC. And I know a lot about peanuts.

The cool thing about the civil war was that even if you like just got a little scratch on your elbow they were definitely going to chop the whole arm off.

Most definitely.  Actually taught this stuff in class today.  I won't post the gory pics of piles of amputated arms, though.  This being a family blog and all.

A good move was when your buddy dropped from dysentery or Spanish flu or bayonet stabbings or whatever, you grab his socks and double up on socks. Boom, comfy feet.

Benja, you're obviously a most accomplished civil war historian....  keep the lessons coming please.    :popcorn:

How many more civil war centennial celebrations will we have before Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, or most of the SEC hires its first minority coach? And will he have to have a name like "Stonewall" Bo Jackson or "General" Lee?

I have a neighbor across the street who is from SEC country. Was down in his basement the other day and he's got this framed "Sons of the Confederacy" certificate and some genealogy stuff showing his SEC civil war ancestors. Not even kidding. It's like he's proud of it, but understands he's gotta keep it in the basement.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Is there a bigger FP in history than Robert E. Lee?

"I surrender, here's my sword!!"

Did you know (and I am not gEing here) that the south celebrates Robert e Lee day? Kids even get the day off school (not mlk day tho).

Why celebrate one of history's biggest pussies?

Stew has more vittles and less water. Only neanderthals serve squirrel SOUP. That is akin to serving crunchy vegetables and no cornbread. Unheard of in polite society.

Possibly the greatest American Admiral ever, David Farragut, won several decisive victories in the War of Southern Treason, including one in Alabama.

"He is remembered for his order at the Battle of Mobile Bay (which he won), usually paraphrased as "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" in U.S. Navy tradition"

Damn the Tigers, full speed ahead.
