Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Minstrely is shitty. Have you ever listened to the Eyes of Texas and thought, "you know what, this jolly old tune is celebrating minstrelry!" No. Because it doesn't. If they don't want to sing the song, they don't have to sing the song as the university has clearly that laid out. But if their reasoning for not singing the song is not based in reality, it's still not based in reality.

I said none of those things. Overshown is free to share his opinoin. LHB members are free to share their opinion. Doesn't mean they aren't opinions, specifically concerning the eyes, with any basis in reality. And since every fucking thing needs qualifieers these days, of course I believe that emails, threats, and messages of ill will sent to any player are abhorrent bullshit that should not be tolerated. If you're going to step into the arena of public opinion on touchy issues, you better be ready to play a team and not run versus air.

You must have missed the "based in little to no fact" part. Better said, "not based in reality."

When what they find offense in is based in little to no fact, it's hard to accept it at its face value.

We do enjoy unifying traditions that have never once been uttered, utilized, or celebrated for anything resembling racist intent, have nothing more than loose, tangential second-hand connections to a prominent southerner, and were a eye-grabbing throw-in among reasonable and honorable requests that the school has carried out. Apparently, the LHB doesn't think the same.

David Dennison is just being a troll at this point. He's pressing your buttons (the editorial). Once Hartzell drops his nutz on Dennison's face with a report that will bolster university efforts to have the Eyes of Texas remain the alma mater, he'll crawl back and be a CR shithead and we won't have to worry about his bullshit again.

Who ever the idiot is who keeps saying they're going to stop singing it after 1) they kept it the school song in the summer 2) they kept it the school song in the fall 3) they kept it the school song in the winter and 4)they kept it the school song after this most recent appearance in the news cycle is an idoit.

While we're figuring out the whole Eyes issue, did we ever discover if the Tower is a phallic representation o the patriarchy? I thought that was one of the accusations in that video that made the rounds.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Oregon tried to tell Sa'Vell Smalls that U-Dub was racist so he wouldn't go there. Luckily, he saw through it. That should show that anything goes on the recruiting trail. Pretty much anything. It'll be used. Sark has to counter it. He will. We'll be fine. I will not stand for these brakes.

My standpoint on it is I think Pierce is a good coach and likable. I think he will do well. But he has to do well with this roster, and if he doesn't, then he is worthy of scrutiny. Nothing personal but it is what it is with Texas baseball. The standards are higher on the east side of 35.

As high a standard that is, it kinda has to be.

Urban Meyer or bust
There are a lot of great coaches available, but are there dynamic characters who are great coaches available? It isn't just X's and O's. It's keeping 150 people organized and focused on a goal. That's tough. Same with recruiting. I don't think that's Campbell. I think he's a great coach but he's no dynamic character and I think it will limit what he's able to do as hypothetical Texas HC. I don't think that character exists this go round, save Urban. I thought it was Herman.

I'm going to give you a little bit of advice. I mean this very sincerely, and I think it'll improve everyone's experience on this site -- which I've learned recently must be respected because my experience is very important. Shut the fuck up and go away.

I still am waiting for an example of anyone who has ever sang the eyes of Texas at a UT event or otherwise with the intent of suppressing or sending a “fuck you” message to any person of color or in support of white supremacy.
