    Trying so hard to be like big brother. It will seem like a huge pull to the simpletons but we all know he could have been had by any TCU level school or higher. 

     

    Billy has a point.

    A poster on Tech's 247 board said A&M offered Tadlock $6.5M/5yrs.

    That's not much more than what he currently makes at his alma mater with an easier path to successes (whic h he has already traversed)

    Hanna was very much part of the group that kept pushing the shitty short tunes like the wolf of wallstreet chest thump. And he was one of the dumbasses who insisted on playing Strong Eyes on 3rd down, only for the defense to crumble and give up the 3rd down - rather than playing it after a big 3rd down stop.

     

    I am glad there are actual terms for this, and that someone also recognized it and was unhappy about the change.

    What was the new "post third down stop" music anyway? I kinda liked it, but it seemed to pop out of nowhere. 

    Side note: It was funny to watch cheer members not participate in the eyes but when strong eyes and any other eyes adjacent song played, they were gung ho.

  4. Schloss has a top 5 team, is likely paid pretty good at TCU, is in the middle of a recruiting hot bed, and has to be better than 2-3 teams every year instead of 5-7. Why would he leave, especially considering there has been an obvious path to Omaha from Fort Worth, much, much moreso than one from Texas A&M?

    It would maybe make sense for Sarloos to do it, considering he hasn't been a head coach yet and would be moving up. It'd be a challenge.

    Taadlock isn't fucking leaving. 

    Maybe they should make a run a Mainieri or the guy from Michigan.

  5. Real revelations with Witt and Nixon. Wenzel seems to be hit or miss with effectiveness but his mental makeup seems right. 

    Stevens going six plus tomrowo would be a real positive sign. Let’s fuck em up and take a Big 12 series.

    I think an argument can be made that racist people had a hand in the creation of the song, or that the song was debuted at a racist event.

    That sounds really loose,, tangential, manufactured, second hand, and dubious, especially considering not a single word of the Eyes of Texas, the thing actually at issue here, is racist in the slightest amount.

    You are talking about facts and reality like this is 2+2=4. It’s not that. How you described the EOT connection to racism: 

    Loose: subjective 

    tangential: subjective

    manufactured: your opinion based pretty much nothing 

    second hand: wrong 

    dubious: subjective

    These are the “reality based facts” you decided the EOT controversy by. Your personal experiences with race could effect who you feel about every one on of them. And you’ve decided you know better.

    Can you answer the original question now? Is a group of white people telling a group of black people when they are allowed to be offended (and what by) a perfect example of white supremacy in action?

    I don't care what you look like. If you are offended by something and your reasons behind the offense are loose, tangential, manufactured, second hand, and dubious, it doesn't matter what you look like; the reasons are still loose, tangential, manufactured, second hand, and dubious. No one is telling them what to be offended by. They are more than welcome to continue to be offended by it. Their offense is not based in reality. 

    Good evening. This is going nowhere.

    What the words actually mean. You know, like one race’s belief in their superiority over another. I mean, look at this guy:

    Lol. Literally defining what their reality should be. Because given a set of facts, they didn’t come to the same decision that he did. After all, who would know more about a black kids reality than randygilman?

     

    Reality is reality. It does not care what you look like. It does not care what you believe. It does not care how fast your forty time is. Reality is reality, and the reality is that the only connections The Eyes of Texas has to racism are loose, tangential, manufactured and second hand, and dubious at the very best.

    Explain please. The facts are the song was written to be performed at a minstrel show and that’s where it was first preformed. I wrote that as value neutral as possible. 

    If a player takes that information and decides they no longer want to sing the song, what do you mean they it’s “based it in little or no fact”. Seems like nonsense to me. And you still haven’t answered a yes or no question. 

    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.
