General Sherman Talks About the Upcoming LSU/ South Carolina Football Game In Exclusive Interview

Updated-From Burke to Kirk and Beyond... has more a post on Father Sherman here at Fr. Thomas Ewing Sherman, S.J., 1856-1933

Exclusive Interview with General Sherman.
Opinionated- General it is so great to hear from you. I bet some SEC football fans are surprised St Peter let you in.
Sherman- Oh yes, Some Southerners still think I am the devil himself but we have a great many proud Veterans of the Republic up here.

Opinionated- Ah yes the March through Georgia
Sherman- That was totally taken out of context as that wonderful glowing Documentary about me on the history Channel so well pointed out this year.

Opinionated-Did you have any side stops on the way?
Sherman- I had to stop off at Purgatory for a while.

Opinionated- How was that?
Sherman- Not too bad, my son Thomas who was a Jesuit Catholic Priest and in fact is buried in Grand Couteau Louisiana said like a million Masses for me. Basically it was purgatory lite- with CSA General Pickett gently pelting me with Marsh mellows for 20 years. Being a Republican helped too with getting time served.

Opinionated- It must be great to see your son again
Sherman- Who said he was here. He died in New Orleans a TULANE fan(a major no no) and word is he is not getting out till they win a National Championship. I expect him here in 2899.

Opinionated- Word is you are a LSU fan
Sherman- Of Course I was the first Glorious University superintendent of LSU way back before you Southerners got Uppity. Not a easy job with those yahoos in the Louisiana legislature.

Opinionated- Your thoughts on the South Carolina Game?
Sherman- Been there Done that. As they say history just repeats itself. I read the papers up here and it is amazing how arrogant South Carolina folks thinks they are going to march into my LSU and beat my Tigers. I mean just look at this nonsense.There must be something in the water in South Carolina. It seems like throughout American history they have been writing checks with their mouths that they have not been able to cash with action....I want this team to go through them like the first president of LSU did!!!!!! .

Opinionated-You were quite known in South Carolina.
Sherman- Oh yeah I made them howl when I went through there. I mean just look at their team. Looks all old times. Not much opposition there.

Opinionated-So LSU needs to torch the Gamecocks like you did Columbia South Carolina
Sherman- AHH I was asleep or drunk when that happened. I have plausible denial on that. But yeah that was what the Tigers will be doing to the Cocks.

Opinionated-What is your view of Les Miles?
Sherman- Great man. Put a Yankee in charge of things and stuff happens!!

Opinionated-What about Steve Spurrier?
Sherman- As you people say down there -OVERATED. He is a the General McClellan of Coaches. Just living off past victories and now all talk and no action. I mean HELLO this isnt like the 1980's anymore. Things have happened since then like the internet. How in Heavens name his team is ranked 12th in the country after nearly getting beat by the freakin University of Louisiana of Lafayette is beyond me. Darth Visor please. Fear the HAT not the Visor. I mean just look at the man-

Opinionated- Thank You For the Time
Sherman- No problem and GEAUX TIGERS
