  1. Is this still the 2020 Senate Elections thread?
  2. I'm wondering how much you want to lose. I'd be thrilled but I don't see it.
  3. Arky thought us and aggy were joining them in a couple of years.
  4. Keeping surveillance on Carter Page is not anywhere near as big of a political crime as Trump using taxpayer money to shake-down Ukraine.
  5. I don't get how one can call Hillary Clinton a total fraud. Those are strong words. She never did accomplish one thing in her 30 years? And what does that make Trump?
  6. As a math major I took probability there in the fall of '72 and it was the PMA building. Yep, the Physics, Math, Astronomy building. It was named after R L Moore the next fall.
  7. The Eyes will be louder than ever when games resume so your voice won't be missed.
  8. Hope the fucking ends Jan 21, 2021.
  9. Aren't all Republican candidates for president against abortion and in favor of conservative judges?
  10. Really? People make jokes to you about The Eyes because it is it the tune to I've Been Working on the Railroad? I hope you've gotten therapy and friends with better jokes. I remember once at the ou sucks game, probably 1971, okies sitting by us stood and said let's sing I've been Working on the Railroad. Like I gave a fuck. They are hurt we have a loud, proud song and they don't. We used to sing I've been Working on the Railroad back in the 50's when I was in grade school. I never knew we were racists when we sang it in 3rd grade. Shame on us. Who and where does anyone sing it in 2020?
  11. The night she won she was smacking gum while at the podium and didn't give a good victory speech either. The gum smacking drove me crazy!
  12. This is northeast Texas in a nutshell. I'm talking Louie Gohmert territory. They don't care about tax breaks for the ultra wealthy or for giant corporations. They care about the Dems want to redistribute the wealth to minorities who want free stuff so we have to vote for Republicans.
  13. I still can’t believe tzintzun Ramirez got so close to making the run off. Those types of candidates can’t win in a state like Texas. How about the democrat for governor in the last election? I'm a yellow dog democrat but geesh Texas isn't ready for a candidate like her.
  14. Virtually no one living today knew that the song was sung at a minstrel show in 1903 until a couple of days ago. That negates your stance that The Eyes of Texas is specifically a minstrel show.
  15. We sing The Eyes in the way people used to sing songs at minstrel shows? I've been doing it wrong for 49 years.
  16. FYI, it has been sung at events that have not been minstrel shows in the last 117 years; hence, it is not a specifically minstrel song. You're welcome.
  17. Alexander from Tennessee said he knew Trump did what he was impeached for but he didn't think it was a removable offense.
  18. I agree with your positive sentiments about the song. I was lucky enough to be in the Rose Bowl when Vince Young put us in the endzone. I have also read that the team is forced to do it and I'd like to know more about that. are aIn my 49 years as a season ticket holder there have always been players that don't sing The Eyes. They didn't stop me from singing it and I didn't care that they didn't sing it. Maybe they hate singing, maybe they were too tired to run down to in front of the band, maybe they needed to get to the locker room to piss or whatever, maybe they sat on the bench and didn't feel like singing it. I'm not giving much credence to the idea that they are forced to sing it and thus my enthusiasm toward the song is not as destroyed as yours, you having compared it to finding out Santa wasn't real. I might compare it to finding out the tooth fairy wasn't real since I never believed in her anyway.
