We're back, folks, and we're here to tell an absolutely wild story from the nineteenth century. Katie (@KatesOfHeaven) leads Victoria (@dirtbagqueer) through the story of the Sewanee Road Warriors, the time a bunch of Confederate failgrandsons performed superhuman feats of strength.

- We learn what nineteenth century football looked like, what schools played it, and just how horrible Sewanee was as a university (hint: very)

- Football is played by men with names such as Diddy Seibels, Rex Kilpatrick, Warbler Wilson, and Bunny Pearce

- Sewanee's legendary War Boys road trip, in which they kicked two thousand miles of ass in six days

- John Heisman, football's Ben Shapiro

- A cockamamie scheme to kidnap Kaiser Wilhelm II. No, really, that's not a joke
