In what year did the Confederate States of America secede from the USA?

The the Soviet Union was the union of how many socialist republics?

Which two African nations remained de jure independent during "the scramble for Africa?"

The fact that the sign right under reads "We never drop the ball" and this is coming form the game against Michigan where they lost 49-0 really brings it all together lol

I feel like the world would be a better place if people decided to wait and see if things seem like a good idea for two days in a row instead of just doing it.
