• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

There is a controversy in Georgia to change the name of Wheeler High School

AgEngDawg

Legendary
because it is named after General Joseph Wheeler who was a confederate general.

It is a big to do in the local papers.

I would like to say that I FULLY SUPPORT THE NAME CHANGE. FULLY!!!

No because Wheeler fought for the Confederacy, but because he was a mediocre cavalry commander. Very mediocre.

I would support the change to the following:

John B. Gordon High School
JEB Stuart High School (forgiveness for Gettysburg sins)
Wade Hampton High School (Great Beefsteak Raid was an all timer)
Patrick Cleburne High School
