Default Good civil war news from Vanderbilt University

Michael Bradley reports the following:

Good news from Nashville:

Confederate Memorial Hall still stands on the Vanderbilt
campus; Chancellor Gordon Gee is leaving!

The ghosts of

Bishop McTyre--the Confederate chaplain;

Landon Garland--the Confederate Colonel who was the first Chancellor of the University; and

David Kelly--first Sect. of the University Board of Trust and a Colonel under Forrest; and

E.D. Baxter--Dean of the Law School and former commander of a Confederate battery--all are giving a Rebel Yell.

God's mill grinds slowly but exceedingly fine.

Default Very Good

The Nazi-like, ethnic cleansing neo-Radicals should know by now we aren't going to back down.

Larry:
Good to see that the PC tide is getting some resistance at that level. Keep us Yankees informed.

I for one was glad to see the University regain a slim chance to recognize their deep Southern roots. Who knows, they may take up competitive football next?

Whoa, Larry. Don't press your luck too far, too fast. Maybe start out with lacross or swimming? Competitive college football would likely put them against 'Bama or some such. Tiddleywinks, anyone?

Bama has been coming in giving exhibitions every other year for decades as have UT (the TN version), LSU, Georgia and others. Lacrosse is probably too brutal for these sensitive folks. Swimming is good exercise. That's a possibility.

Some things should not change. This is one of them. Now as for lacrosse or swimming, don't ask me anything about that. If the Civil War was fought by sports teams ala Olympics, it would make for very boring reading.
