Rod Babers just tweeted the best idea I've heard yet. Name a section of the Stadium for Julius Whittier, place the band in that section and have players/fans face that section when Singing the Eyes.
I like this. I like it A LOT.

He's all over the place. I've had this on for less than 5 minutes and he's covered school choice, the stock market being almost where it was pre virus, vaccines...
Majorly rambling on.

I know he doesnt drink. But is he high right now?

School choice is the civil rights of all time.
What the fuck?

2 from Saving Private Ryan:
After they've taken the machine gun nest where Wade dies and Captain Miller tells them he's a school teacher. Miller asks what the betting pool is up to and then gives the speech about why they are doing this. Its cheesy, I know, but it worked.
Then near the end when they're all sitting around listening to Edith Piaf and reminiscing about home. Miller's reply to Ryan asking about his memory of his wife.... "No, that one's just for me" gets me every time.

So what happens in the unlikely event that the team gets a bid to the Cotton Bowl?
Actually, we play at ths Cotton Bowl every year. Should we stop the best tradition in college football?

It hit me yesterday when Macanudo-ette #1 asked me about this. Bed time for my girls when we were in Alaska and Washington included The Eyes of Texas.
One night in Alaska when Macanudo-ette #1 was about 18 months old, it had been a majorly trying day in Macanudoland. Due to drama with Mrs. Macanudo I was not on my game and that included not singing The Eyes of Texas to my daughter. I put her to bed. A few minutes went by and then..... "Daddy........ Daddy.........." Over and over.
I was tired. I was frazzled. I was worn out. I walked back upstairs to her room and all but flung the door open. As I walked in, her little voice said...... " You didnt sing Texas." I blundered my way through it.
The Eyes of Texas is something special.

My brain has looked at this and said "Who created this list of grievances? This sounds like someone besides a college kid."
And that's not minimizing changes that need to happen in this country. But if we rename every building, institution, entity, etc that wasn't "woke" 25 or 50 or 100 or 150 years ago we're going to change A LOT. This country is not perfect by any means. But are we going to change everything?

These are all good ideas but many of them are feel good ideas. The way that things begin to change is by actual substance. For example, both schools can designate several inner city schools for this program. Depending on the sport, here is what you do. You get an athlete from each school as a tag team in a class. Say you have a scholarship athlete from both schools teach a class for as much of the semester as their sport will allow. So player x from UT and player z from HT will teach say a 5th grade class every Tuesday from 1-2. They can talk about whatever subjects they like, successful black businessmen, a great politician like Barbara Jordan, a black supreme court justice, the importance of getting a college education, etc. Player b from UT and player d from HT may wind up teaching an 8th grade class from 2-3 every Thursday and can choose whatever topics they think appropriate. Now you have athletes from both school teaching 50.100, 200 etc. classes in the inner city. Now you start making real change and you expand from there.
Are these mandatory teaching slots? Something part of every athletes degrees plan regardless of sport played? Because even if we exclude some of our sports, with football included UT's sheer size, athletics wise, dwarfs Huston-Tillotson.
I do kind of like the overall idea. Just not sure of the way to implement it.

If only he would do that honorable Japanese thing so we’d be free of his idiocy.
What do you mean? He's been banzai attacking us for years telling us Joe Biden (aka Babe Ruth) sucks and down with the Democrats (aka The Yankees). He's just using English instead of sake fueled Japanese.

Interesting how the scope widens when we're willing to look at everyone's prior words/deeds.
I don't agree with this one but not every leader is a saint.

Just drove down 306 by the Horseshoe and it was packed even by a summer Saturday standard.
Was in Galveston yesterday for something. I dont think there was any social Distancing. Restaurants looked like they were at 100%. Nearly every place at/near the Strand was full. Place we ate was probably closer to 90%. Only reason I agreed was we got a corner table and it was sort of isolated away from everyone else. But the Seawall from the Galvez (21st Street) up past 61st was a ginormous clusterfuck. Most of the beach access areas after that all the way down to almost Pointe West (so about 25-30 miles) had signs out that parking was full. Didnt see those start to change until around 3-4 miles from Pointe West.
And before anyone else asks why I drove the length of of the Seawall, I had to be at the Galvez for something and then to check on something on the West End. I dont know Galveston very well and didnt know I should have taken Avenue S/Stewart to avoid that shit show. Now I do.
-
Are other schools going through this as well? Googling tells me it seems isolated to Texas.
-
I'm on board with so many things that need to change in this country but cutting The Eyes of Texas as our school song is something I'm willing to fight against.

I'm sure there are more. But it's not like we're going to see Joel Osteen do it.

He's buying ad time on local Houston TV and then introducing local businesses who talk up their store.

Effin Wilco. As if we needed more proof that nothing good is north of the river.
Are we talking about the river that runs through downtown Austin? The Colorado?
Because the last time I looked, the University of Freaking Texas was north of there. If even by just a bit.

I watched this based on seeing people praise it here.

Underwhelmed. I get the politicking and backstabbing to succeed Stalin. But it just fell flat.

The funniest thing about the one on Steck was when they had to put up the turn barriers there to keep patrons from getting killed. I remember Brisket talking about that.
Where the turn barriers to protect him or other people from him?

Does Mitt Romney? Murkowski? If any of these Republicans had an ounce of a soul they would publicly come out and say I am voting for Joe Biden because it’s what is best for this country. They won’t but they should.
Call them up and ask them too. Flood their phones with support.
Challenge them to do the right thing.
