Tennessee Volunteers a history and what the B girl chose to wear on arrest

The Name comes from the Civil War NOT FROM ANYTHING ELSE
even the school chose that name for a reason


She doesn't even go to school there.








The name comes from the civil War.
http://www.tngenweb.org/civilwar/usainf/usa10inf.html

The term "Volunteer Infantry Regiment" was used throughout the North and South during the Civil War to describe volunteer regiments.

Edit - See Wiki: "The Volunteers (or Vols as it is commonly shortened to) derive that nickname from the State of Tennessee's nickname. Tennessee is known as the "Volunteer State", a nickname it earned during the War of 1812, in which volunteer soldiers from Tennessee played a prominent role, especially during the Battle of New Orleans.<4>"

For the confederacy.

That's what it really means.

No, that was used to describe non-conscripted regiments.


Here's a website devoted to the 48th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment: http://www.48ovvi.org

The Fourth Michigan VIR: http://www.4thmichigan.com/\

The 28th Massachusetts VIR: http://www.28thmass.org/

And so on. Those were not slave regiments.

... I mean I suppose you could make the argument that men volunteered to fight for the TN army during the civil war and that parts of the state (ironically not the Eastern part where UT is) supported slavery but no as already been stated, it goes back to the war of 1812 ..... I have lived here all my life, one of the largest Civil War memorial battleground parks is 10 miles from my house and yours is the first I've ever heard linking "Volunteers" with slavery.

I love ya Iching, but I gotta disagree with you on this one.

(but yes, the girl is a twit with horrible fashion sense) :)

I'm too much of a "The medium is the message" Marshall McLuhan type guy
and her 15 minutes of fame.

I read too much into things at some times.

Volunteers were universal to all states and territories for most of the 19th century. Synonymous with militias, reservists etc. Nothing more.

I was just about to say that. I'm all for calling out southern racism where it exists, but this is not one of those times.

I am an Alabama fan who lives in Tennessee, I am TICKLED FLIPPIN PINK that this chic was arrested wearing a UT shirt on the day BEFORE the UT/Bama game (one of the biggest rivalries in college football.)

The gO'bama effect is still in play! lol

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!

You guys have a big date with us in Death Valley on November 8th.

Geaux Tigers!

.... and I fear it may be a fate worse than death! lol

We have no depth, we have everything at stake, and TN has nothing to lose. Plus, one of our best players is out.

Usually, I take the Bear Bryant approach and just talk up a big loss as not to sound cocky, but this time I mean it!!! We're goin' down and we're goin' down hard tommorow! lol

But oh well, Roll Tide anyway!!! lol

You guys will roll over them.


Speaking of, did you see WVU smack Auburn 34-17 last night? Yeesh!

Fulmer's job is on the line, and you can never apply stats, logic, or the teams' records to the Tennessee-Alabama game. Too bad all we have is the ability to play spoiler this year. Even though a loss might get us a new coach, I can't pull for my school to lose.

I'm having a really hard time with this one, because Tennessee desperately needs a new coach. But I need Tennessee to win to give Penn State a shot at the National Championship if they can get past the Buckeyes tomorrow night.

Words can't describe how horrible they are on Offense and the playcalling is like watching John McCain's campaign - erratic and senile.

As long as Alabama comes at them hard on D, they'll roll over them like nobody's business.

Bear Bryant's ears. :)

Pie avatars could be a secret codeword among Obama supporter posters everywhere!

I wonder if sales of frozen pies have gone up since Obama keeps mentioning pie? I'm sure there'll be news of one to come....

... I am using this same avatar on another message board that is NOT politics related and where they're all sick of hearing me talk about the Messiah (but I'm the admin of the board so they can all suck it, right? LOL)

Anyway, after I made them all mad with my "One House, One Spouse" avatar, I had vowed to go avatarless as a form of protest.

Until I decided to sneak in a piece of pie! lol

And THEN the next day, the MSM blew up my pie spot and now they've all figured me out! lol

the volunteers had even more stuff in the Civil war
when battalions were set up to fight against the north.

... I'm gonna point out one more time the East Tennesseans who are the big time Vols fans are the great grandchildren of Union sympathizers.

The great grandchildren of the slave owners are in middle and west Tennessee and are Vandy fans. :)

What the fuck does it have to do with that bitch anyhow?

my chest.

:D

I knew White Racist in my youth that played
those civil war games racist trips. I've known Klan people,
I grew up in the south and know the key codes.


I guess she just choose that sweat for another reason


Oh well, Nothing happened in New Orleans either in Katrina.

Then you might not want to be anywhere near Knoxville tommorrow, I hear theres a quite a few of them going to a ball game.

I mean .... ya know ........ 'cause we've certainly never had any KKK folks in Alabama! (ha ha)

I left my allegiance to UT at the door when I graduated. I've never seen a more corrupt school when it comes to sports.

I latched onto Penn State when I started my graduate degree up there, haven't looked back - even though I live in Tennessee now :)

... as I said up-thread ..... I think this may very well be the end of our streak. I can feel it in ma bones.

But if Alabama DOES pull off another win, I'm gonna consider the Obama (gO-bama) affect to be a total sucess and consider the election a done deal too! lol

(FYI, I have categorical and statistical proof that Alabama's victory over Georgia was clearly and directly attributable to the Senator from IL. Why? Because you can't with with a gimmick! Be it a black jersey ....... or a hockey mom. :) )

Beating up on Mississippi State proves nothing (as you well know). The Vols are about as inept as John McCain's campaign and they have a fool running the program (just like John McCain). The only thing you guys have to worry about is the defense, which is solid but not foolproof. The offense is just a wreck. I wouldn't worry about Stevens or Crompton, the third stringer Coleman, if he sees the field is the real deal though, but he doesn't have any weapons around him.

I wouldn't lose much sleep over the game tonight. Stranger things have happened but this team is just a mess.

I am half tempted to burn my degree in disgust!

Of course, most of the people down here think Tennessee is a football team first and foremost, so it's not the first time a lying and dumb inbred have donned the colors.

I'm a follower of the concept of use of media by Marshall McLuhan

and the 15 minutes of fame.

Apologies.

(and yes, I'm gonna chase you all over the thread ha ha)

The whining and crying from UT fans here this season has been unreal. Honestly, it's gotten to be just as bad distraught Republicans, except I can take joy in seeing distraught Republicans. I can't celebrate UT's demise as a football program because I went there and my wife hasn't stopped being a fan since she went there.

And tell her a fellow Obama supporter and Crimson Tide fan in Chattanooga says "hey!" lol

...

Tennessee acquired its name "The Volunteer State" in the early days of the nineteenth century in the War of 1812. At the request of President James Madison, Gen. Andrew Jackson, later President, mustered 1500 from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The men never actually fought in battle and Jackson was so frustrated by the inactivity that he marched the men home at his own expense and his determined stance on their behalf earned him the nickname "Old Hickory."

The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Gov. Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2800 men to battle Santa Ana and some 30,000 Tennesseans volunteered

:eyes: :eyes:

Seriously. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

...facts are bothersome things.

and all the fixin's of the south won't help her.

Besides the University of Texas will kick everyone's ass in football this year
and her Texas A&M team will go no where.


I still want to know......... Why did she chose that sweat
she had no relationship to that state.

would buy and wear that sweat when she knew she was gonna be arrested.

I agree a bad slam on Tennessee, but why a Tennessee volunteers sweatshirt?
A college student from Texas would never wear that unless there was real connections
to that state. Then she wears it in Pennsylvania?

She has only lived and went to school in Texas and visited New York.
And as far as I know, she had no family from Tennessee.

Where did she get the sweat from? A friend? She was picked up
at where she stayed. Did she share the place with a Republican
kid from Tennessee.


Just tracing down the story but I hope everyone knows
who Marshall McLuhan is and the use of media and propaganda.
He is world famous on academic circles.

On her Twitter page she bragged about lying to Steelers fans while phone banking. Also, she was in New York State doing the same kind of stuff at SUNY. It's clear she's just a liar that wears many different masks (she was a Ron Paul supporter but she somehow has become a McCain loyalist that rivals his fiercest supporters).

I wouldn't doubt that she has a whole collection of shirts to match whoever she is supporting at the time - the proverbial bandwagon fan but she does it to gain attention and acceptance even more.

...in her clothes the night before and had nothing to wear? Could have borrowed it from a fellow repuke? Could be some guy she's doing from Tennessee? Who knows?

during the arrest on DU.

Maybe it was a friends? Maybe she picked it up on vacation one year? Maybe she's a fan because she has a crush on Phil Fulmer?

Plenty of reasons why she might have worn it, but I don't think it was meant to imply anything racist.

...with historical revisionism.

;)

and republicans have a way with bruises.

I was watching one of those medical shows that's shot in an ER last night on Discover Health. A doctor went to a closet they where they keep clothing that patients leave behind to replace a shirt they had to cut off a patient. Maybe police stations have a similar closet. I saw video of her being questioned, and she was wearing a black T-shirt with the arms cut off. Maybe it was chilly outside, so they gave her a sweatshirt someone else left behind.

I work for a paper in Tennessee, and we've heard of no UT connection yet. And I hope there isn't one.
