  1. Maybe he came here to play in front of 100K and compete for National titles. Add in covid and now being young and feeling out of place as a non texan. Seeing Herm actually seem to know what he is doing, makes playing at home attractive. Being close to family, friends and support system. He could also just want to play football without the pressure of the current cause we are now leading. Bunch of reasons if it were him, which we do not know.
  2. So, was this your apology attempt for "(yes I'm judging your use of language)" or just ignoring being wrong & sharing history I already knew and no one asked for?
  3. PGA Golf coming to switch in August. I'm sure it's a watered down version but don't care. Now all we need is Madden to make my kids completely forget about the outside world. https://www.pgatour.com/news/2020/05/14/pga-tour-video-game-release-august-justin-thomas-cover.html
  4. Native American is racist but you're referencing Oklahoma so it makes sense. It is now American Indian, https://www.indian-affairs.org/who-we-are.html Point was and is that the city of Austin and the University and most of us are a negative meaning to them. They would prefer if we were not here and are entitled to demands that meet the attention of what is currently afforded to this current issue. You can talk about a statue, our population and colonization is theirs.
  5. WTF? We do, they do great work but I'm guessing what they are asking for is for the creation of a BLM/AA specific one funded by the University. Tough to say without details from the group asking.
  6. Advantage aggie. They'll do what they do for their 3 shit wins every season. Force all 50% to the tackle box bottom and pipe in music/fans/sound to create the best experience in all of the land.....
  7. The point is you can go in circles here. The city of Austin, the 40 acres & likely, specifically you have a deep negative meaning to every American Indian...are you ok with an American Indian student demanding/suggesting changes to it all? Does that sound rational or extreme?
  8. If you truly want a conversation, simply keep it civil. The dollar can't be ignored because you are correct, it is always about the $. Here's a question: Do we think the players announced this without giving Tom a heads up? As Rod Babers pointed out on his Friday show, that would add a complex layer to this for he as the leader of this team.
  9. Note to self, "set system preferences to Recruiting, Other Sports and Hobbies board only".
  10. Pretty sure that's sarcasm bringing our site roots back to why most of us are here. Clearly this site is forever changing. Heavy lies the crown.
  11. If Twitter or social media is the voice of reason for a cause then everyone is fucked.
  12. Correct. The BLM line item "should" create a great conversation that educates athletes, coaches/admins and us fans. Right now, no one knows the details of how a dollar donated to BLM flows to "pressing the agenda of change" without political fingerprints. If that is the case, it should be easy and beneficial to us all.
  13. This is one most are looking past/over but without information most do believe the BLM movement has been/will be hijacked by political orgs. To me, glad they added that line item because it's a conversation that must be had. That type of conversation and education will benefit athletes, coaches/admins & fans.
  14. Where do Indian Americans, Japanese, Chinese & Mexicans fall into this reflection of America and Texas as it moves forward? Should those changes be any less of an initiative? My thought is no, all of it should be addressed. Most of the hesitation around BLM that i've personally heard is the lack of understanding on where dollars are/will go. Unfortunately, the lack of information immediately brings politics into peoples heads and that creates the biggest bottleneck.
  15. That is his point, the Gonzales flag your neighbor had/has is a great flag and carries historical significance in this state.
  16. Coaching staff is pot committed. If this list does not yield results, Tom will look weak after what he has said on the record.
  17. I always thought of the Eyes as my appreciation to the players for representing us on the field.
  18. Willie sounds like he's got his shit together.
  19. So FCB is now calling out Sam for not immediately running to social media to voice his thoughts? Of course he is.
