That's "The War* Between the States." The War of Northern Aggression was unquestionably Unconstitutional, and the states had every right to secede.Taosman;1016540; said:And we still won the frickin Civil War! :tongue2:

That said, damn good thing though that Abe threw the Constitution in the crapper for several years.

Now, we don't need fans of other SEC schools coming in here planting slobbery kisses all over our collective butts and begging our Buckeyes to do what their teams couldn't. "Y'all" chose to play in the Toughest Football Conference Evar, otherwise known as the AFC South. Don't come crying to us just because your ex-SpartanTigerDolphin savior-to-be can't deliver the goods. Suck it up and root for your own conference. Do you think we like the idea of pulling for an underachieving, unmotivated, and frighteningly flawed stinkweasel team against Florida? No we do not, but you won't see us running over to Florida boards and posting "Go Gators!".
Remember, every convert is someone else's traitor.

South Postpones Rising Again For Yet Another Year
April 12, 2000 | Issue 36?13
HUNTSVILLE, AL?For the 135th straight year since Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, representatives for the South announced Monday that the region has postponed plans to rise again.
Three of the estimated 45 million
Southerners who have not yet
gotten around to rising again.
"Make no mistake, the South shall rise again," said Knox Pritchard, president of the Huntsville-based Alliance Of Confederate States. "But we're just not quite ready to do it now. Hopefully, we'll be able to rise again real soon, maybe even in 2001."
Pritchard's fellow Southerners shared his confidence.
"Yes, sir. The South will rise again, and when it does, I'll be right up front waving the Stars and Bars," said Dock Mullins of Decatur, GA. "But first, I gotta get my truck fixed and get that rusty old stove out of my yard."
"Lord willing, and the creek don't rise, we gonna rise again," said Sumter, SC, radiator technician Hap Slidell, who describes himself as "Southern by the grace of God." "I don't know exactly when we're gonna do it, but one of these days, we're gonna show them Yankees how it's done."
"Save your Confederate dollars," Slidell added. "You can bet on that."
The Deep South states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee consistently rank at the bottom of the nation in a wide variety of statistical categories, including literacy, infant mortality, hospital beds, toilet-paper sales, and shoe usage. Even so, some experts believe the region could be poised for a renaissance.
The Louisiana state capitol.
"The way things stand, things in the Deep South almost have to get better. Otherwise, the people who live there will devolve into preverbal, overall-wearing sub-morons within a century," said Professor Dennis Lassiter of Princeton University. "Either Southerners will start improving themselves, or they'll be sold to middle-class Asians as pets."
"My constituents are decent, hard-working folk," said Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, in his 22nd annual "Next Year, By God!" speech on the steps of North Carolina's capitol building. "We are a proud people who mayn't have all that much fancy-pants book-learnin', but we live and die with pride in our proud heritage and the dignity of our forebears."
Helms' speech was met with nearly 25 minutes of enthusiastic hoots and rebel yells by the 15,000 drunk, unemployed tobacco pickers in attendance.
Though Southerners are overwhelmingly in favor of rising again, few were able to provide specific details of the rising-again process.
"I don't know, I reckon we'll build us a bunch of big, fancy buildins and pave us up a whole mess of roads," said Bobby Lee Fuller of Greenville, MS. "I ain't exactly sure where we're gonna get the money for that, but when Johnny Reb sets his mind to something, you best get out of his way."
"Oh, it'll happen, sure as the sun come up in the morning," said Buford Comstock, 26, a student at Over 'N' Back Diesel Driving School in Union City, TN. "The South is gonna rise up, just as soon as we get together and get all our shit back in one sock. Then, look out, Northerners!"
"Yesiree," Comstock added, "one day soon, the Mason-Dixon Line will be the boundary between a great nation and one whose time done passed."

Good luck, Holt. You've been nothing but class here. I know that a lot of Buckeye fans were hoping for an OSU-WVU matchup, but it wasn't in the cards. We know all too well about rivalry games making and breaking seasons, and your Backyard Brawl just got kicked up a notch on the college rivalry scale. I don't think that you guys or Pitt fans are going to forget about that one any time soon.

One benefit of being here - a 4 hour drive to New Orleans
