re: Despite A&M, definitive proof that Texas is NOT an SEC state

59 diner is better than both of them.

You must be smoking something. Kentucky is a founding member of the SEC. Both Kentucky and Missouri fought wars with neighboring yankee states at the start of the War of Northern Aggression, with no help from the South BTW.

Missouri kicked Kansas's arse after being invaded from the west. Kentucky invaded Indiana and Ohio and raised general hell until D.C. sent an overwhelming force and captured Frankfort. A southern-sympathizing government was then set up in Bowling Green. Does this sound like yankee states to you?

Also, at the Stone Mountain, Georgia monument park, there are 15 states that are listed as southern. Both Kentucky and Missouri have spots in the park.

Your apology is accepted.

Thank you. Here's some info from the Joplin Globe for him. The People from Missouri and Kentucky was battling the UNION with no help. Missouri vs Kansas was the precursor to the Civil War. He might want to learn some history.

Jasper Co Missouri info....

During America's Civil War, political sentiment was divided in the slaveholding border state of Missouri. The question of which side would control the state hung in the balance from the outset of the conflict.

Confederate-allied forces won important battles at Carthage in July 1861 and at Wilson’s Creek a month later, securing the Southwest portion of the state for the South, while Northern forces held the rest of the state.

After Confederate forces were driven out of Missouri in early 1862 and defeated at the Battle of Pea Ridge in Northwest Arkansas, the Union took control of the entire state. But Southern irregulars remained in Missouri to carry on fierce guerrilla warfare.

With more than its share of Southern sympathizers, Jasper County was a hotbed of guerrilla activity, partly because of its proximity to the devoutly Union state of Kansas. The county also was home to guerrilla chief Thomas R. Livingston, who commanded Southern partisans throughout Southwest Missouri.

A prominent miner and merchant at French Point (near present-day Oronogo) before the war, Livingston was loosely affiliated with the regular Confederate Army, but he operated independently most of the time.

Partisan activity peaked in Jasper County in the spring of 1863, and events unfolded that would not only shape the direction of the war in Southwest Missouri but also stir debate throughout the country.

It culminated with Livingston's massacre of black troops at Rader’s farm northwest of present-day Joplin on May 18, 1863, and the burning of the village of Sherwood in retaliation the following day by Union troops from Baxter Springs, Kan.

Civil War thread for the Mizzou win.
