Somebody needs to give Clay Travis a lesson in history.

On his blog, he compared all of the coaches in the SEC to Civil War generals. For James Franklin he used Nathan Bedford Forest.

Mullen being compared to Longstreet, Hell if lee had listened to Longstreet we would have won Gettysburg and all those Ole Miss boys wouldn't have gotten shot to hell in the Peach Orchard with Barksdale.

Everything else was very good.

I didn't see any of the coaches compared to Stephen Dill Lee!! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have a bust in the middle of the drill field!!!

Other than that, I thought this article was a great read - thanks for sharing.

Mullen is a Yankee and he is going to leave a path of destruction on his march to Atlanta.....some day

The University Greys (from UM) were in the 11th Miss and not under Barksdale. Barksdale's Mississippians did make the "the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man" through the Peach Orchard on the 2nd day of Gettysburg. The University Greys were rather part of Pickett's Charge on the 3rd day, where they took 100% casualties.

Not well maid was there would have been no glorious charge
