  • From Wikipedia:

    Bragg is generally considered among the worst generals of the Civil War.[1] Most of the battles he engaged in ended in defeat. Bragg was extremely unpopular with both the officers and ordinary men under his command, who criticized him for numerous perceived faults, including poor battlefield strategy, a quick temper, and overzealous discipline.[1] Bragg has a generally poor reputation with historians,[1] though some point towards the failures of Bragg’s subordinates, especially Major General and former Bishop Leonidas Polk—a close ally of Davis and known enemy of Bragg—as more significant factors in the many Confederate defeats under Bragg’s command. The losses suffered by Bragg’s forces are cited as highly consequential to the ultimate defeat of the Confederate States of America.[1]




  • Do you think there are weight classes in football?

    We definitely did not put them up with varsity or anything unless they specifically asked for it. The kicker and linewoman would take their hits and move on.

    I genuinely had respect for both of them. Hell I tried teaching the linewoman everything I knew to help her, but even after 3 years she still couldn’t make varsity even though the drive and want was there.

    So I guess yeah, they did keep her in her weight class by keeping her on JV all through my time there. Everybody wanted her to succeed, just there was a natural difference between what she and us guys could do.

    We never intentionally tried to make her feel differently, but nobody ever had to point out there was a massive difference.


  • Bro I’m all for inclusivity and all that, but when a couple chicks tried to join the football team it did not go well at all for them. I’ll give them credit they did try, but one of then going up for a snap at wide receiver only to get drilled when they caught it stopped that want to play real quick for most em. But, she wanted to try and got mad at other guys for being to soft on the other chicks. She surely got way more than she wanted.

    We did have a couple chicks stay on to be fair. One kicker so that’s whatever, but also a linewoman. She definitely gave it her all, but even at her best she was no where near varsity level. But like, she easily would jabe mauled any other chick at school. But put her against one of the big boys and there was absolutely no match.
