    True, but General William Tecumsah Sherman, the first superintendent of Ole War Skule,
    DID give us the term "Hotlanta". :hihi:

    Wonder if they will mention anything about LSU?

    My great grandmother was from Atlanta, and she was 5 when he/his troops invaded. She told us how the soldiers would walk around town and impale chickens on their bayonettes. The chickens would usually be alive for awhile and they would be freaking out while stuck on top of each other waiving around in the air.
