Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
This right here and some other recent posts are spot on. Herd mentality takes over and people protest for the sake of protesting and do not do their own research or they only live in the moment and do not even know what their end game is. Logic is being defied. I don’t understand how the knowledge of this song was only known to, or at least promoted, to a certain group of people? I was on campus in the mid-80’s and never heard as such. What is next in the pipeline?

Might as well do away with the Pom Squad as well as I am sure that many see that as sexual exploitation. Ol' Smoky the Cannon should go away too so that those that are opposed to "guns" are appeased. Let's also do away with Bevo on the sideline too so that PETA will be happy. Probably should ousts the cheerleaders too although they are a diverse group; we certainly do not want a small group of kids telling the masses to stand up and cheer against their will.

Just watched the end of the 1969 Texas/OU game on ESPN. Chris Schenkle, the ABC broadcaster, said the following statement on TV after witnessing the singing of the "Eyes of Texas": "Well, I think you have to admit, that if that doesn't grab you, well, you don't, don't only have an ear for music, you do not have much emotion."

IMO the band and other school related "traditions" are key elements that separates the college football gameday experience from the pros.

Texas-OU Weekend T-shirts from when I was on the 40 Acres in the mid-to-late '80's. They no longer fit me....

Similar experience; My wife and I were at Parent Orientation in 2010 as my daughter was an entering freshman in the School of Natural Sciences. The Dean was addressing the parents and scaring the crap out of most of the parents. I graduated from UT in 1988 and I was even scared of what he was saying! He told the parents to look to their left and to their right. He then said that chances are those parent's kids would not graduate from UT. He went on to tell some funny and scary antics of what some students do in school concerning grades. He mentioned that one of the reasons that there is security at graduation is because of family fights. Some students say they are graduating when in fact they had been lying and actually will not walk. Some students have been telling their parents they are graduating with honors when actually they are barely graduating. The law is there to prevent severe repercussions! For the record, my daughter graduated from UT in 2014.

With more faster and bigger people chasing me I would be faster too! Maybe he is as fast as he needs to be.

Hey, Tim and Spencer...
I run into Brando from time to time flying into and out of the Shreveport Airport. We have exchanged pleasantries and minor small talk in the past. After his latest display of disdain for the Horns we will have a more pointed conversation next time.

RIP Gale Sayers
RIP to a special talent. Effortless moves and running ability. Side note: I love watching clips/games played on natural grass. There is just something about the commentaries by the announcers/narrators with their descriptions and voices that I find engaging. Plus the grass stains, dirt, mud, brutal hits all really reflect the battle between two teams. Required watching.
