Do you know your history? Do you know that the USA was gearing up for war in 1941 because the government new that it was probably coming?

Camp Shelby in South Mississippi was cranked up and running by mid 1941, as were other training bases.


A few years ago, anc made a thread about the 1940 Mississippi State Orange Bowl team. I think the thread coincided with State's 2014 Orange Bowl berth. The thread had a picture of several Dawg players hanging out on the beach before the game. anc went on to state, with extreme confidence, that every man in the picture was killed in WWII . People immediately started calling him out.

I found the thread, actually. To give anc credit, he claimed all but one of the men pictured died in combat. People immediately started calling him out.

No good Bulldog lets history get in the way of hyperbole.
