I think Roy has submitted his bold and daring entry into the "how far back 
can we go to find a grudge" competition currently holding sway onthe 
nwu-sports list.

Current Standings:

1.  Roy Lamberton: The Civil War, 1860-1865
 	-- this entry a.k.a. "Those Southerners Sure Are Dumb!"
2.  Jim Bendat: Those Southerners Sure Are Dumb! (Part 2), 1925
3.  Brandt, et al.: FDR - Savior, or just lucky?, 1933-1945
4.  Bob Schooler: My Roomie Didn't Get Drafted, I'm Still Pissed, 1969

Credit is not given for Lamberton's earlier entry, "Those Christian 
Communists of the First Century" because no one engaged him on it.

I'm still looking for something in American history that's earlier - maybe 
someone could try to respond to a discussion of LaCrosse by bringing up 
the French and Indian Wars?
