Tinker:
We know now after reading the reports from our American historians about the American civil war between the states. That the true ability of the confederate army's general Robert E Lee was very limited after the death of his right arm confederate general "Stonewall" Jackson, after Chancellorsville.

As we also now realize Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, was everything to the confederate Army success, because the facts about that war are always the same, after his "Stonewall" death the confederate army lost the civil war.

Shot three times while returning from scouting enemy lines in the Virginia wilderness, Jackson was badly wounded in the left arm by one of the large bullets the night of May 2, 1863. Blood gushed from a severed artery. It took at least two hours to get him to a field hospital, and Jackson was dropped twice in a stretcher before his arm was amputated. He died days later at 39.
Scholars have long questioned whether it was an infection or pneumonia that killed Jackson, who gained the nickname "Stonewall" early in the war and went on to be lionized in the South and feared in the North because of his military exploits.
DuBose is confirming the original diagnosis given by Jackson's personal physician, the famed Confederate doctor Hunter H. McGuire.
"You would be hard-pressed to find someone more qualified than him for the treatment of this injury and taking care of Stonewall Jackson," DuBose said. "I do defer to him in some regard. I kind of have to. He's not only the treating physician; he's also the only source of information."
Robertson, a former Virginia Tech historian and professor who wrote Jackson's biography, said he has been persuaded that sepsis, caused by severe infection, killed Jackson, due to his chaotic rescue and unsanitary conditions. He noted, though, doctors at the time agreed Jackson had pneumonia.
"Unfortunately, medicine in the mid-19th century was still in the dark ages," he said. "Obviously, I'm not overly concerned with how he died. I'm terribly concerned that he died."
Jackson was a pivotal figure and perhaps the most esteemed soldier in the war, Robertson said. He was known for secrecy and speed to execute surprise flank attacks for Gen. Robert E. Lee's strategy.
"He was killed in what may be the high-water mark of the Confederacy," Robertson said. "You can make a case that after Chancellorsville, it's just a question of time for Lee."

Jerryworld has a pretty restrictive tailgating policy.
Regarding tickets, don't doubt there will be some available late, but it won't be the same as the UO game. TCU gets 40K for their home games & Jerryworld is 15 miles from Amon Carter.
This won't be a 2 to 1 crowd advantage for the Tigahs the way Oregon was.

For those of you who don't like Zach Mettenberger... (Posted on 5/11/13 at 8:32 pm)
You really need to change your mind about his first year. He was in NO way a bad quarterback. He threw for 2600 yards this year which is MORE than what Matt Flynn threw for in 07.
People also try to make the argument that he didn't step up in the big games. Well he stepped up in the Florida game by throwing that nice third down pass to OBJ who fumbled it unfortunately. Plus, in the Alabama game, he played about as good as any QB has played against Bama the past few years.
You guys really need to give him a break. I know he's not perfect, but he's definitely better than JJ, and he can win games for us. I expect if he builds on what he accomplished last year, we'll have at least a ten-win season, but probably better.
That's my rant for today. Here's to success in future Tiger Football

It’s May, and Gary Patterson is talking TCU football
Posted Saturday, May. 11, 2013
By Randy Gallowayrgalloway@star-telegram.com
A couple of guys who chronicle the national college football scene
for big-time websites entertained me last week with a
who-cares-if-it’s-only-May sudden rush of opinions.Does anybody at this point actually care about a “post-spring 2013 season Top 25 poll?”
Well, yes. Me.
Thank you, Dennis Dodd of CBSsports.com and Andy Staples of SI.com. I enjoyed your work.
And these Top 25 polls in May also prompted a Friday call to TCU’s Gary Patterson, which is never a bad thing.
Patterson, however, laughed when I broke the news to him that in one of those polls TCU is ranked as the best team in the Big 12 for this fall, and in the other poll it’s only the toughness of the schedule that keeps him out of the No. 1 conference spot.
“It is May, right?” he answered. “But even if we’re a bit early with all this, it comes down to the same old thing. It’s my job to prove you guys right or wrong. Wrong if you pick us last and right if you pick us up high.
“But me, right now, I’d be looking at Oklahoma State in our conference. Got those two good quarterbacks.”
Patterson, however, also didn’t attempt to low-ball Frogdom expectations for the fall.
“Do we have a chance to be up there? Yes,” he asked and answered. “Some good luck would need to happen, with injuries and all that, and if so, we’re capable of being top four in our conference.”
If nothing else, it’s been a quiet start to 2013 for TCU, with five months so far of nothing but National Signing Day, more recruiting for the future and spring practice. Football stuff only.
A year ago, as the Frogs awaited their Big 12 debut, there had already been a massive upheaval after a campus drug bust in February took down four football players.
It was merely a sign of more bad things to come. When fall practice opened in August, injuries began to wreck the depth, and the injuries continued to pile up. Worst of all, stud quarterback Casey Pachall went on an off-the-field stupidity binge, and was kicked off the team and withdrew from school in October.
Playing as many as 16 true freshmen at times, the Frogs limped in with a 4-5 conference record.
But the defense, despite being ripe with youth, appeared to be the Big 12’s best unit by the end of the season.
“You would think with as young as we had to go last season, and with how so many of our young guys stepped up, there would be a payoff down the road,” said Patterson.
Down the road is this coming season.
“But we still will have only about six or seven seniors [taking major snaps], so it’s going to be a young team again,” he added.
At the moment, the Big 12 has no major top-five-in-the-nation contenders. It’s a wide-open conference. Outside of Kansas, and maybe Iowa State, the other eight schools have some kind of shot.
But with the Big 12 so balanced, two major questions hang heavy on University Drive.
First, Pachall.
Second, the schedule.
It is interesting that Patterson has not officially selected Pachall his starter, which could lead to all sorts of speculation, starting with the issue of Pachall’s past problems.
Is the head coach not happy about something with Pachall after his return in the spring to both school and the team?
No, answered Patterson. Actually, he’s very pleased with Trevone Boykin.
“I’m telling you, Trevone had a great spring, and was much improved from last season,” the head coach replied. “I’m not holding out on [selecting] Casey for any reason. I wouldn’t lead [Boykin] on like that.”
The ineptness of the offense in TCU’s awful bowl loss to Michigan State in December had seemed to seal Boykin’s fate and pave the way for Pachall.
“We had to put Trevone in a tough situation last season, and I liked the way he worked at it, but I really liked the improvements I saw this spring,” Patterson said.
Pachall, of course, figures to still be the starter, but it sounds like Patterson has plans for Trevone.
Then there’s the Frogs’ schedule:
Open the season Aug. 31 in Arlington against LSU. That one, of course, will be watched closely nationwide. (Speaking of early, the Las Vegas line has the Tigers as a 6 1/2-point favorite.)
In conference play, the Frogs must deal with road games against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas State.
“Plus,” Patterson quickly added, “on the road in Lubbock, on a Thursday night in early September, and the Texas Tech fans will be all into that one. Then we also go to Ames, and nobody like to play [Iowa State] up there.”
Again this season, TCU has only four home conference games because of a return trip to Stillwater. It’s some strange arrangement the Frogs accepted — gladly, by the way — as part of being admitted into the Big 12 and playing the old Texas A&M conference schedule.
Take LSU, then throw in five conference road games, and Patterson said, “If you are going to win a conference, win a national championship, do something big, like we always have as a team goal, then you’ve got to play this kind of schedule.
“Starting right off with LSU, that’s what I call a stretch game. I like one stretch game in nonconference. With the game at the end of August, I’ll say this: LSU gets the kids’ attention that first day of fall camp [July 31]. They get focused in a hurry.”
One of those Top 25 May polls last week had TCU ranked No. 15 in the country, best among Big 12 schools, and logically listed Pachall as the key to the Frogs’ year.
The other one had TCU at No. 19, behind Texas (No. 13), K-State (No. 14) and Oklahoma (No. 15) but in the comments said TCU would be the favorite for the Big 12 if not for LSU and conference road games at Norman, Manhattan and Stillwater.
But as Patterson quickly noted Friday, what about Lubbock, what about Ames?
I found all this to be good entertainment. Even in May.

LSU exercising caution with Clay Moffitt's recruitment
Tommy Moffitt
BATON
ROUGE – You might say LSU has an “unfair advantage” – NCAA terminology
– in the recruitment of Catholic High tight end/right-handed pitcher
Clay Moffitt.
His father is Tommy Moffitt, who has been LSU’s strength and conditioning coach since 2000 and known nationally as one of the best. Clay, who will be a senior next football season, has truly and literally grown up at LSU.
“Craig Steltz (strong safety on LSU’s 2003 national championship team) was always throwing me in trash cans,” Moffitt said. “I honestly thought some of those guys were my big brothers. I would spend all day in the weight room.”
hose were “unofficial visits,” in keeping with the NCAA rule book.
“I can’t talk about those guys,” LSU coach Les Miles said of the Tigers’ targeted recruits before they sign. “It would be a violation. Am I correct? Who’s in compliance here?”
Miles’ own son Manny could join Moffitt on LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri’s radar. Manny Miles is a sophomore right-handed pitcher for University Lab on the LSU campus and is expected to be the team’s quarterback next fall. Miles threw a five inning no-hitter Friday to beat Calvary Baptist 12-1 in the Class 2A semifinals. U-High lost to Evangel in the 2A state championship Saturday in Monroe.
“I’m allowed to talk about my own son, right? Yes, see, because he’s my son,” said Miles, whose younger son Ben also plays football.
“They will definitely be recruited,” Miles said. “And let me tell you something, I know where they live. And I know their mom very well.”
Miles was kidding, but for former Georgia coach Vince Dooley, it was no laughing matter. He could not watch his son Derek play high school football in Athens during the 1980s because of NCAA rules at the time.
“I’m glad they finally changed that rule to allow us coaches to spend time like that with our kids,” Vince Dooley told the Athens Banner-Herald in 2010. “It was really funny because Derek and I would have to sit in the kitchen with Vince and go through everything that happened in the game,” Barbara Dooley – Derek’s mom - said.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
In football news, I enjoyed hearing from many of you yesterday about LSU's latest commitment, D’haquille Williams. A few of you asked me when he would enroll and how many years he would have to play. From what I understand, Williams will have two years to play two at LSU. However, Williams is the kind of impact player that is going to come in and make a big splash right away and probably opt for the NFL after one season as a Tiger. He's that good. Barring any academic troubles, Williams will graduate from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, enroll at LSU in January and begin practicing with the team next spring. With the talent that LSU already has onboard for 2014, and with Louisiana being loaded with talent like never before, LSU's 2014 recruiting class could easily end as the Tigers’ best ever, and the future of LSU football certainly looks bright.

MULE: Tiger Bai
Quarterback greats Manziel, Manning have much in common
By MARTY MULE
Tiger Rag Featured Columnist
How much they played a role in the 2012 Heisman Trophy outcome is impossible to know, but Johnny Manziel’s days at the Manning Passing Academy a couple of years ago couldn’t have hurt.
Johnny Football, who came out of nowhere as a redshirt freshman at SEC newcomer Texas A&M, lit up the highlight shows throughout the fall with a derring-do style that produced 1,343 yards rushing and 5,116 yards of total offense, as the Aggies went 12-2 in their first season in the SEC.
The irony was delicious Thursday as Manziel accepted nothing less than the Manning Award, sponsored by the Sugar Bowl, given to the nation’s best quarterback of a given year, and the only one in which bowl performances are taken into account.
Archie Manning admitted he didn’t immediately remember the nimble and intelligent kid being coached on the practice fields of Nicholls State in Thibodaux. Manziel did, recalling being mentored by Archie’s scions, Peyton, Eli, and a corps of college quarterbacks to refine his game. He’ll return as a counselor this summer, his way of giving back for what he picked up as a high school player.
“Just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Archie Manning is an honor,” Manziel said at a Sugar Bowl luncheon at Manning’s Restaurant in the fashionable Warehouse District of the Crescent City. “A true honor.”
Manning, also known as an exciting, scrambling demon as the Rebel QB four decades ago, joshed that he was less than pleased with Manziel.
He remembered first being fully aware of Johnny Football on Sept. 29 while watching the A&M-Arkansas game. “That day he broke a 43-year-old Southeastern Conference record set by an Ole Miss quarterback in 1969 against Alabama,” Manning deadpanned.
Manziel accounted for 557 yards of total offense against the Hogs, breaking the SEC record held jointly by Manning and tied by LSU’s Rohan Davey in 2001, also against Alabama.
“Thanks a hellava lot, Johnny,” quipped Manning, who like Manziel was known by a nickname, “Archie Who,” in his playing days.
An admiring Manning, in a more serious vein, said, “For him to go out there in his first year of really playing (college) football in the Southeastern Conference and put up those numbers, win the Heisman Trophy, win all those other awards, he’s special.”
After making shambles of most SEC defenses in 2012, Manziel said he’s looking for forward to his sophomore season – and visiting the home of what he said was his biggest obstacle, the LSU Tigers. “A dauting stadium,” he mused, and the lair of the defense he found the hardest to crack in A&M’s second and last defeat. He knows other SEC coordinators will be soon be phoning Tiger defensive guru John Chavis for tips. Chavis’ unit limited Johnny Football to 27 yards rushing and picked him off three times in a 24-19 LSU victory.
There’s a reason why the Tigers had eight defenders drafted last week, Manziel agreed.
“LSU was the best defense we played last year. We just struggled a little bit there, and they did a good job getting a lot of pressure with ends. They’re really fast, getting up field with those ends. And (LSU has) speed all over the field. That’s a big key to why they were so good.”
That was then, though, and the grounded Manziel isn’t putting looking too far ahead. Not too far beyond the opening games of 2013, and certainly not a couple of years in the future.
Texas A&M announced this week it was adding 20,000 seats to Kyle Field, which will bring capacity to 102,500 – largest in the SEC. In part that has come about because of the excitement of the Aggies’ new SEC affiliation, and what Manziel has brought to the program.
Could that expansion be called “the wing Johnny Football built?”
“That would be a cool deal,” he said with a slight smile, “but I don’t think that will happen.”

The question is will Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel’s scramble around as effective as he did last year.
I seem to feel like that he will.
Johnny Manziel’s does scramble around the football field like Archie Manning did playing QB for Ole Miss back in the day.
And Johnny Football reminds me of Fran Tarkenton a lot, who was a nightmare for opposing defenses, and also Navy & Dallas Cowboy QB Roger Staubach, another scrambling QB.
