frick the Michigan and Wisconsin regiments at Vicksburg that held my Alabama ancestors in their trenches at the bluffs.
I don't even know if I had family in the civil war.
My Father's side moved from Illinois/Missouri when he was 11, and my great great grandmother on my mother's side was found in the flood and my great great grandfather was a full-blooded choctaw.

I have respect for the men who fought on both sides of the war, Capstone.
I'm just glad the north won.

MSU didn't officially become the bulldogs until 1961, but they have been called the Bulldogs since 1905, when a reporter wrote about MSU's bulldog style of play after shutting out UM that year. After that game, MSU students held a military funeral for the Rebs, and a bulldog was placed on top of the casket. In 1926, a bulldog was there representing MSU in a parade in Meridian. In 1935, the first Bully mascot (named Ptolemy) was present on the sidelines at State games (BEFORE Georgia, btw).
Hell yeah!
