1.Yall and yawl are spelled diferently. Yall failed to mention that.
2.To a person in Louisiana anyone from up north that doesn't like the way we talk is a yankee.
gg- Yall is a reference to a couple of people, not a hillbilly chick.
YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If being a yankee is someone who doesn't have an IQ that is the same as the number of teeth in their mouth....and both of which are under 5, then I guess I'm a Yankee.
Also, if being a Yankee is someone who doesn't get confused about the difference between my mom, and my aunt.....or someone who doesn't know the difference between my sister and my girlfriend, then I suppose I am a yankee.

true dawg,
Montanans are anything but yankees. Here is part of an interesting discussion about Montana during the Civil War:
Montanans are anything but yankees. Here is part of an interesting discussion about Montana during the Civil War:
Idaho Territory, isolated far to the north, was anything but firmly Union. Up towards Hell Gate (Missoula) there were more gold deposits being discovered, and present day Idaho was becoming a strategic area which would support the Union cause for arms and materiel. In 1861 gold was discovered in the area of the Mullen Road, then Bannack in 1862 and finally in Virginia City in 1863. But the area was not safely tucked into the Union fold. They even named a new town "Varina, Idaho Territory" in honor of the wife of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy...
From the office of President Lincoln, the west looked pretty stable. However, reports from Idaho, especially from the eastern slopes of the Rockies (Montana) were unsettling. The population was mostly secessionist, often quite antagonistic to the Union cause, and a force which could easily leak liquid assets (gold) to the South in support of the Confederate cause. In spite of the Confederate majority, and without the cost of many troops, he would strive to keep Virginia City controlled within the Union cause. Lincoln's "man in Montana", Sidney Edgerton, was constantly frustrated because he imposed Union ideas, but any time there was a vote, he was completely ignored and outvoted. In fact, one community of about one hundred and fifty registered voters could turn out six hundred secessionist votes.
Wow, make a trip from Kansas to Montana to see the Lady Griz play and the discussion has gone from seedings to the civil war. I don't think anybody has accused somebody of being a yankee since the early 1900's, but hey, whatever floats your yawl.
I just wanted to wish the Lady Techsters good luck tonight. Thanks to those who came to chat with us. It's always nice to get a new camaraderie going between a team that you would never expect to have one with. Now that I've got that out of my system, I'm switching over to super griz fan mode :wink:

Not only are those LA Techsters good at playing BB,

they are pretty good at those mind games as well, as shown by their pre game uniform selection photos, hopefully they may be a bit slower now!

All kidding aside, here's to a great game tonight , with the exception of a LADY GRIZ victory tonight, hope Yall have/had a good time, and that folks from both schools come away with some good memories and friendships.
