  1. The Eyes of Texas was written as a parody on President Prather in 1903 and people honestly think it is referring to slave owners keeping their eyes on runaway slaves? Really? It is not a proud fact but there were no Black students at UT for over 50 years after the song was written. What sense does it make for the students who were all white singing a racist song referring to Black slaves?

    If that were the case then it would have been documented as racists can't hide their racism for that many decades. And if the song was written for that purpose then of course we would ditch it.

    I think an issue between young and old is that the olds probably had way less diversity on campus. They probably had their Conservative/Liberal divide with way more white people, but the ethnic and racial divides are much higher now than when they were on campus.

    I'm a 1973 graduate, there were 4% Black students then and 6% now so I don't consider that very different. The biggest difference is the white percentage of students has decreased due to the increase of Asian-Americans and Hispanics. The campus was extremely liberal as evidenced by the size and number of anti-Vietnam War protests and McGovern won the presidential race in '72 by getting over 90% of the vote against Nixon.

    In 1971 the Student Senate voted to change the mascot from the Longhorn to the Armadillo because the Armadillo was more peaceful.

    This is impossible. Listening to Chirs Cuomo with my parents over the years, I’ve been assured by Chris himself that he is the ultimate moral compass. He’s never done a bad thing in his life and can’t fathom how someone can. What a fucking douche bag. Such a holier than thou cocksucker. Burn that fucking family to the ground 

    Has Chris been accused of sexual misconduct?

    If the whole process was getting too stressful for him an appearance on national TV would have been the perfect opportunity to shut everything down once and for all. Whos ready to split some SEZ suites?

    This!  Urban needs time to get everything organized, especially his staff. 

    It's happening!!!

    First off, I’m 100% Czech so I know what I’m talking about. These are NOT kolaches. Kolaches are FRUIT filled pastries. I’m not saying that I don’t like klobasnikis (meat filled versions), but let’s get the nomenclature correct.
    I will agree that The Czech Stop is grossly overrated, but I’m just comparing them to my mom’s, which are the best, hands down

    You are correct. In 1971 I went to a 50th wedding anniversary in Schulenburg and was shocked that most of the people were speaking German (I grew up in Van Zandt county which was all WASPs.) I spent many Thanksgivings at their house and Clementine Frank made great kolaches which were only fruit filled. She did make sausage klobasneks too.

    reminds me of one of my favorite posters from the Austin 360 and early Hornfans days.  Turn the Page, Fred.

    Akers should have won a national title or 2.

    RIP

    Our expectations are too high. 

     

     

    As a '73 graduate we have won 4 in my lifetime and should have at least 2 more, the '83 season and the '09 season. I call Bullshit on anyone saying the University of Texas has too high of expectations regarding football. RIP Coach Akers.

    Monterrey House.  They had that candy in the chip basket that was awesome.  

    The Monterrey House at the corner of Ben White and I35?  Great memories from way back. My kids loved the brown sugar candy.

    The only time I came in my pants at a club was when a UT soccer player dry humped me hard with her ass.

    How many times did you cum in your pants when you were not at a club?
