State Travel Bans Impact College Athletics

You're leaving out arguably the most famous Stitt, Confederate Colonel Bedford Stanton Beauregard Stitt III of the Mississippi 30th Dragoons. He was noted as being the first Confederate commander to lose an engagement in Colorado. Later in the war, half of his brigade mutinied during the second half of a battle. He was loving called ol' snapping turtle by his men but most of them compared him unfavorably to Bobby Lee.

The top 5 dumbest posters here will undoubtedly ask "Why was a Confederate Colonel engaging in Colorado?"

It was all a part of Stitts innovative new offensive strategy to quickly take the battle to the enemy before they had a chance to react, often sacrificing strategic positioning for an extra offensive attack.

Sadly it was not successful this time.

This is well stated Jodcon! Even as the 7th dumbest poster on this board I truly understand what you're saying.

I found a Stitt quote from 1863 from the Vicksberg Courier

Colonel Bedford Stanton Beauregard Stitt III:

A lot of people want to blame our commanders for the lose in Colorado. Our soldiers lost their fighting spirit that day. I will tell you straight, defilade is for cowards, sir. No army of mine will be on the defensive. It's attack those blue bellies. Then attack some more.

FIFY

So can those states still travel to Cali to play? Or is it just for Cali schools to travel to the states where the bans take place.

This is also a good example of why so many people consider the state of California to be such dbags...so self important to those states....

You think Texas gives a damn if Cal comes and plays in Austin anymore.....

The real interesting dilemma will be when they have to start turning down big bowls. What if USC makes it to a natty chipper held in AT&T stadium...they gonna turn that down?

Very good point! :lol:

Since, USC is a private university this dumb law probably has no standing in regards to USC.

Trojans are scheduled for a rematch in Austin in 2018.

Ok ok..than Cal or UCLA...whoever

Wait, what? There's a tax on whisky? We should have settled that one in 1865 as well. Greedy bastards.

Whiskey rebellion. Used as a tool for GW to assert authority over the states just after the ratification of the Constitution. Wheat farmers got screwed by the cost of shipping in western PA In the 1790's. As a result they converted that prized wheat into the blissful elixir that is whiskey. Government placed a huge excise tax on that whiskey and as a result the farmers got a wee bit angry.

They modeled their revolt after Shays a decade earlier. The leaders are of the the Whiskey Rebellion were sentenced to death for treason after being put down by a rather large federal force and then pardoned by Washington before the sentence was executed.

Washington's experience trying to cobble together a Federal Army out of State Militias...his frustration probably carried over into this type of stuff...

Anyway, maybe we should all just ban Cali...they don't have good whiskey anyway.

Living currently in California, who is better than any other state at giving the middle finger to the federal government, I find the narrative slightly amusing when Places like Texas and their libertarian bent complain about a state who does have the clout to say no.

George Washington was far more successful in putting down the Whiskey than the Articles government with shays because they actually had the authority to deploy a military w/out the states approval. Oh and they had money to pay soldiers to fight, which helped.

Both Texas and California suck, the rest of the country is tired of hearing you both brag about your incredibly f***** states.

I mean what else is a person to talk about in a Grizzly football forum?

Not football. There isn't much to discuss really. Pretty low expectations for a moribund program with little fan following to speak of. Pretty lucky if a thread reaches say 3 pages, let alone 16.

Wasn't it Jedidiah Stitt and his Kentucky Green Hat Boys that started the Whiskey Rebellion?? I found an article from the Providence Gazette:

Stitt said:
It was all my fault. I failed to lead the boys effectively. I'm going to spend the Winter of 1793 and do some soul searching on what I can do better at.

The arrogance. It was always about "him".

:lol: :clap:

Should be interesting when SDSU has to go to Alabama and play since Alabama is one of these states that CA will not travel to.

If that was an agreement made prior to, I think, Jan. 1, 2017, it will be ok. No agreements can be made after that though.
