    Cancel LHB? I thought we loved traditions. Only when it suits you, huh?  Because it’s been around since 1900

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    No thanks. :)

    I'll do my little part to shame the idiots who live to embarrass our university by going onto the Internet to spew hate and invective at our students. I can't stop them, but at least I can irritate them and maybe redirect their bile away from the players and band members and towards me.

    Grown men crying at kids. Pathetic humans.

    You're not respecting MY truth! You're not respecting MY lived experience!

    It's pretty simple. The song has no racist meaning in itself, but if we're to say it's racist based on its origins, then I think it's fair to say the University of Texas is currently racist based on it's origins and past actions (as would be most universities). They don't seem to have a problem representing the university by being in the band. Just the song? It's interesting to me.

    This country has a very short history, and a very racist one. Chances are anywhere you look you'll see something born out of it.

    That's good enough for me.  I don't like how this becomes a negotiation between us and them. Why should I get to decide more than another citizen? An element of us didn't have a voice in many decisions that were make over the decades. I want UT to be inclusive.

    Another thing, I hate forced traditions. Mack Brown created a lot of new fairly shallow traditions that the players seemed to execute by rote rather than with any emotion. If, one day, the players choose to run over and sing with the fans after a particularly emotional game, think how much more meaningful that would be than just something they do after every game as team policy.

    The Eyes of Texas isn’t a forced tradition you dolt.
