So when we kill the SEC, it's really Tennessee's fault.

Truth be known, the Vols died saving Houston time to put together a semi-competant force.

Not that we are unappreciative, but Santa Anna made pretty quick work of the Alamo defenders once he got bored with the seige.

A lot of people from a lot of places came together to make Texas great. Same story for the USA.

Tennesseans gave their lives to give Texans a state and all they did with that gift is to turn it into a liberal suck hole.

You're just another team in the SEC.

You won't kill anything. You couldn't even kill in that weak arse conference you were in.

Texas isn’t a suck hole idiot. How do you explain it’s Republican Govenor and its 2 Republican senators? Austin is now a suck hole but so is Memphis.

The guy who wrote this was born in South Carolina:

quote:

Commandancy of the The Alamo

Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-

Fellow Citizens & compatriots-

I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.

William Barret Travis.

This shite is so dumb at this point. 99% of the army was from somewhere else, while we're all thankful for the Tennessee volunteers, no they didn't win the war for Texas.

Please continue to give us Texas history lessons, I learn so much here.
