Who never, ever visited Jacksonville. That means that JU is named after a city, named after a General, who never visited the city that was named after him. Josh Smith will always be a Hoosier.

The school i went to used that as a line to get athletes to go there 3:1 girl to guy ratio. Then when you get there, 1 of the 3 is a 45 year old adult ed student, the 2nd one is dating Jesus and 1/2 of the other third is a commuter dating their hs sweetheart so it ends up being a 2:1 guy to girl ratio. IT'S ALL A TRAP!!! LOL What's wrong with a hot cougar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had relatives that lived in Tennessee, and we would visit for holidays. Tennessee is a pretty state. There are approx 11 cities/counties named after the General and former President.

The Fed is a central bank and Jackson’s proudest accomplishment of his presidency was that he did not allow the formation of a second central bank in the US.

I've also been to Ekaterina's palace in Pushkin, it's a shame that the Amber room is just RESTORED, as the original amber panels disappeared after the German occupation in WW2!
