Mike is quick to run down Col Fannin. Being a proud Texan and from Goliad I think Mike needs to brush up on his history.

Col Fannin and his troops fought a running battle against overwhelming forces for days and were finally captured in a creek bed and supposedly given quarter. Marched to Goliad where they were massacred and their bodies left to rot in the sun

Now I am sure Mike has led men before in battle so he would know what to do if faced with same situation.

Windbag......

Ya, that grated on me a bit but Vanderboegh is a good guy. I'm willing to take it as a 'Bama vs. Aggies kind of shot - good, hard ribbing, not meant with cruelty.
