posting these, tho I'm in retirment, and had already played a couple b4 Tampa's debacle ... let the Indians mount and ride hard!
Geronimo was born in June 1829 in Arizona. His Apache name, Goyathlay, means "one who yawns." As a leader of the Apaches, he inherited a tradition of resisting colonization by both Spaniards and North Americans that was generations old. In 1874 about 4,000 Apaches were forcibly moved to a barren wasteland called the San Carlos reservation in Arizona. These Indians accepted the leadership of Geronimo, who led them into a period of turmoil and bloodshed that lasted, with interruptions, until his final surrender in September 1886. After his surrender Geronimo never saw Arizona again in spite of promises made at the time. He and other Indians were put to work doing hard labor in Florida.
#1 Taking the leap with Freud?s fave schizoid patient and trying to resuscitate Coach Carr?s MICHIGAN WOLVERINES. Jumped up 14-nil LW. Rallied hard when seemingly out of it at OR. Minny has played Sara Lees, and maybe they ARE better, but I?ll ride the 31-2 history despite the noise in the Twinkie Dome.
Sitting Bull was born in about 1831 near Grand River in the Dakota Territory. The Hunkpapa Sioux were a nomadic and warlike tribe, and Sitting Bull had his first skirmish with white soldiers in June 1863. For the next five years he frequently fought the Army. He was made principal chief of the Sioux nation in about 1867. When gold was discovered in the Black Hills in the mid-1870s, a rush of prospectors invaded the Indian lands.
In late 1875 all Sioux were ordered to move to reservations. Sitting Bull refused to go, and the Army was mobilized to remove him and his people. Sitting Bull summoned the Sioux, Cheyenne, and certain Arapaho to his camp in the Little Bighorn River valley. He foretold that soldiers would fall into his camp like grasshoppers from the sky. His prophecy was fulfilled on June 25, 1876, when Lieut. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his soldiers rode into the valley and were annihilated.
Sitting Bull led his people to Canada, where they depended on the buffalo for their livelihood. When there were no more buffalo to hunt, they were forced to surrender in 1881. In 1885 he was allowed to join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Sitting Bull was killed on Dec. 15, 1890, on the Grand River in South Dakota as his warriors were trying to prevent his arrest.
#2 I think it?s appropriate enough to take the SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS @ home in honor of Sitting Bull?s tribal name, Hunkesni, meaning "slow" because as a boy he seemed to think carefully before he acted. No team is any more rugged at home.
CRAZY HORSE (1842-77). Carved out of a mountain near Custer, S.D., there is a large memorial to Crazy Horse, chief of the Oglala Sioux Indians. He was one of the ablest warriors to lead American Indians in their attempt to stop the white man's invasion of the northern Great Plains. In 1866 he participated in the massacre of Captain William J. Fetterman and his troop of 80 men near Fort Kearny in the Wyoming Territory. It was the worst defeat the Army had suffered at the hands of the Indians up to that time.
Gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874. Prospectors, disregarding Indian treaties, swarmed over the area, and Army troops were sent to protect them. Crazy Horse and his followers forced their withdrawal on June 17, 1876. Eight days later, along with the rest of the Sioux nation, he helped destroy the battalion under George A. Custer at the famous battle of the Little Bighorn.
#3 MY CRAZY PICK will be with the homestanding 0-5 ats SUN DEVILS. Oregon mighta shot wad vs Mich, and Sun Devils are more overdue than a Xmas present arriving on Ground Hog?s Day.
RED CLOUD (1822-1909). Mahpiua Luta, better known as Red Cloud, was chief of the Oglala Sioux Indians during the 1860s. For ten years he led his warriors in campaigns that prevented the United States Army from opening the Bozeman Trail to the Montana goldfields.
Red Cloud was born in the Nebraska Territory in 1822 into the Bad Face band of the Oglala Sioux. By 1860 he had become chief of the Oglala nation. He spent the next several years keeping the Army from using its Powder River Road on the trail. The war lasted until 1868 and included the notable Fetterman Massacre on Dec. 21, 1866, near Fort Phil Kearney.
His resistance to the construction of forts proved effective. The Treaty of Fort Laramie was drawn up in 1868. Red Cloud signed it on April 29, 1869, after Army garrisons were withdrawn and their forts burned. He then laid down his arms and lived at the Red Cloud Agency in Nebraska.
#4 As Corso would say, ?not so fast, my friend,? b/c in the end Red Cloud betrayed Crazy Horse due to jealousy (narcing he was going on the warpath, when the Sioux had been disemboweled of all power) so the US Army tricked Crazy Horse into a fort and stabbed him in the back, killing him. So, on that note, I will Judas my home boys once again and grab the NEVWOLFPACK, coming off a tuff in state loss to UNLV while the UW folded like a busted hand vs Amarillo Slim.
