  1. Just one quick comment on minstrel shows. People have to understand that there is no common type of "minstrel" show. The ones in Texas at the time were much more akin to variety shows than anything related to racism. Most had no performers in black face at all. Per the info found when this shit came up previously, the author of the song wanted to make a school song and poke fun at the current UT Pres. The song was NOT created to be performed at a minstrel show. It was not created by people associated with putting on the minstrel show. It had exactly nothing to do with the show. The truth is that in those times there was literally almost no way for the song creators to perform it for an audience that included the school president except at the minstrel shows. The only reason it was performed there was because the creators knew that the school president would be in attendance. Thats it. The Lee association stuff is stupidly ignorant. The minstrel show connection has been taken wildly out of context. There just isnt anything there. The reality is that a professor stirred up racial animosity during an emotional time on campus and convinced some 18-22 year olds that something was racist and none of the 18-22 year olds spent any time researching the facts for themselves. I dont blame the 18-22 year olds. And I dont blame the professor. Just pointing out what happened. My guess is that all of this will be pointed out in the report. I completely disagree with those that are saying that because something offends a particular group that other people have no right to question them. Of course they have the right to do that and they should do that. I am not talking about criticising them or belittling them or anything similar. I am saying that the offended group needs to have all of the relevant facts before making snap judgments. Allowing traditions and other things to be cancelled based on extremely weak or made up or taken out of context information, is always bad. I especially think those that maintain that they personally do not think the song is racist but think it needs to go because some of the players think it is are lacking in character. If you believe in something and you have researched all of the relevant facts about it and still feel that way then you should never back down. Because you may not care about the song or other types of traditions but one day this same thing will happen to something that you do care about.

  3. I grew up in a kind of nobby household, but it wasn't always that way. My grandfather was a poor immigrant from eastern europe and his son was a scholarship golfer who gave up his sports career to run a mash unit in Nam. Came back and married a woman from the deep South cotton fields and from that love I was born. Sure, I wasn't born in poverty, but I knew what it was like when my parents had me take our maid back to the Ward at night in their Caddy. Well, one day I came home and there was an adopted black baby in our extra room. He, wasn't a real baby, he was a 6'5", 300lb monster, with athletic potential through the roof. I don't know if he grew up disadvantaged, I was told he did. And I don't know if he had ADHD, but we said he did. What I do know is that he was a shining beacon in our family for a few weeks before he tore his knee and we had to give him back. With all that said, and sorry for the ADHD driven digression, there is an underlying message for all those Texas fans who posted on the subject of Juwan Mitchell, yesterday:

  5. Ja'Quinden's very respected up there by his teammates and the coaches, and his word has a lot of weight compared to other former players. He is a good leader, and people gravitate towards him. The information regarding Abor and Duncanville isn't entirely accurate. While what Coach Terrell said is true, Texas has been in contact with Abor. This isn't to say that Vogel doesn't know anything - he can only write what he's been told by Abor and Duncanville. You all can read between the lines for the rest. Texas hasn't lost Duncanville. Regaining stable inroads there will be an uphill battle for sure, though. I'd keep a heavy eye on one of their 2023 kids.

  7. The football board takes a beating over here, but gentlemen, this is why. Story time: I grew up in middle class round rock in a good family. Mom stayed at home, dad worked his ass off and we had it pretty good. I was a fucking smart kid, my brother was not, but he has ADHD so the expectations were just inherently different. The expectations for me were doctor/lawyer/smart person career. Problem was, I couldn’t do homework. At some point, I couldn’t read books anymore. Just a mental block against both. And do you know what people who see a smart kid who doesn’t do those things say? “Work harder” “You’re entitled” “Apply yourself” “I know you’re capable, why can’t you meet expectations?” Well, as it turns out I have ADD too but wasn’t diagnosed until 32. Had I been diagnosed as a kid, maybe I would have developed some skills to “apply myself”. Maybe I wouldn’t have appeared so “entitled” by just getting by on test scores. So, now replace smarts with football talent, in many cases replace stable family life with the inverse, and replace ADD with fucking anything else. These are kids who may be dealing with some difficult shit. We have no idea. Your post takes potshots at the whole person without even considering the whole person. Does Juwan say and do some stupid shit on and off the field? Hell yes. Do we need to scream boomer takes at the sun in response? Hell no. Life isn’t as simple for everyone as you make it out to be, and I for one will not stand for disparaging kids we don’t know. Tl;dr - Fuck off football board

  9. If Juwan was at Normandy, he would have lead with his helmet and broke through Nazi defenses and played through the whistle all the way to Berlin where he would have snapped Hitler’s neck and won WW2. Juwan Mitchell would have been an American hero.

  20. You think it is stupid to have a day that promotes a healthy diet? It’s one day. February 21 was national grain free day. Who gives a shit. having the day emboldens the Broebert stupidity, therefore the governor shouldn’t do it? That’s a sad threat. It’s the same dumb shit said not impeach Trump for insurrection, or really do anything worth a shit because it might rile up the morons is living by fear. Those dumbfucks will get all hot and bothered over mr. Potato head. They literally search for stupid shit to embolden themselves.

  23. I'm guessing this is a veiled jab at Hugo's histrionics. Yeah, it's frustrating to watch 4 years of absolute assclownery and then two months into the new admin people are screaming "WHY NOT DONE!!!!???" Jesus fuck the internet has made us an impatient species. He's not a fucking saint nor is he a monster. He's checking shit off his list much faster than promised. If we get to the fortunate position to have the virus under control and the economy appropriately humming we can get back to parsing policy differences and progressive agendas. Right now we're in triage mode and the new admin is trying to stabilize the vital organs.

  24. So I get that progressives by design are never satisfied and sways pushing for more. And I get that Biden is not as progressive as many would like. But in less than two months, Biden has made it obvious that anyone claiming “moderate Democrats and Republicans are the same” is not someone living in reality.

  25. Jeez Louise. I can drive down the road in Alabama and get sex toys from a store. What the hell happened in Texas? French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress. I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Kalli's Love Stuff and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Kalli, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am an Alabamian.'

So accordingly all of you pieces of shit can get proper fucked. I hope Tom Herman shows up to all of your Thanksgivings and cornholes your wives and daughters.

  28. They all want your attention and are trying to establish a pecking order. I know someone that has a smaller chihuahua mix and he tries to always get on your lap and in your face because he is attempting to establish his dominance. I set him off to my side to gently let him know he is not in control. I would not feel guilty. Put them on the floor and let them know who is in charge. You do not have to have a stern voice with them. Just be consistent and set them down and leave them there. Praise them when they are doing what you want them to do. Be thankful the dogs want to be around you like that though. They inherently trust you which is something you can take joy in knowing.
