Guess I’d be interested to hear what any of y’all think.  Is the reason I find this unbelievable, and would drop their scholarships because of my age?  Hey, if you don’t like The Eyes of Texas, if you find it offensive because some yahoos many years ago sang it in blackface, don’t freaking go to UT.  It’s not rocket science.

Agree, this is political correctness run amuck...go somewhere where people will appreciate a snowflake.

How about Baylor?  I believe, according to one of our posters, they had a snowflake cry-in there after Trump won.

 

Dad, a Baptist preacher, always called Baylor - “Sodom on the Brazos.”  He’s gone now, but that always cracked me up.  The Christian principles that used to dominate the university are hard to find now days.

My dad was a Baptist minister as well.  Had a similar attitude towards Baylor.  
 

As for the original post, that was from last fall and I think (hopefully) we are past that nonsense now.

Unfortunately, they are not. The Longhorn band will have one band that will play the Eyes and the other will not. IMO I would not allow anyone in the band that was offended by the school song. Use their scholarship for someone else.

I hope the players under Sark will stay on the field. He does not seem like the type to play those games.

Agreed.  Go play in another band if you don’t like it.  One of the worst visuals I’ve seen was Sam standing by himself after a game last year with his horns up during the Eyes.  I was officially done with Herman as of that moment.

I just don't get it. I know the school is quite liberal but this situation is completely ridiculous. It's the school song for crying out loud.

I agree, don't be in the band and don't attend the games if you don't like it.

Yep. Herman was done after that one with the people who pay the bills.

Had an observation I meant to post last week; draw your own conclusions.  After UT won their super-regional in baseball the team stayed out on the field, horns raised in celebration of the victory with their fans.  Is it just football team that has a problems with it?  Don’t really care for or follow basketball until March madness so I don’t know about the on-court traditions.  Just found it interesting in light of the “controversy” (heavy emphasis on air-quotes).

      Quick question

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      I voted for energy independence, secure border, selection of conservative SCJ, lowest unemployment in decades, I could go on but there's no emotion here, I vote for policies. Look at what we have now, there's no comparison. I just listed the reasons I voted for Trump, someone PLEASE list the reasons you would vote for Biden. @Boyz N Da Hood you said we should vote on policies, I just listed them for Trump, tell me which ones you don't like and wouldn't vote for him because of them.

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
