  1. Imagine ALL THE ENERGY that used to go into singing EOT now can be channelled into : "FIGHT!"
  2. Anyone who disagrees with is somehow “retrograde”. Perhaps ad hominem attacks is the only thing you can do, otherwise might believe you are merely a revisionist historian.
  3. Absolutely, among other problems....a real disconnect.That doesn’t mean there will not be the obligatory rationalizations and finger pointing away from the the truth as usual.
  4. Jerrah not dead? I thought Jerrah died years ago after a failed Botox and semen injection and Steven just put an arm up his ass and moved his jaw for interviews.
  5. To be fair, Bevo was targeting the AASS "photographer"...wanting to send a message to Cork Bowels that he is tired of Cork using up perfectly good oxygen on this planet.
  6. Just like totalitarian oppression and hypocrisy....yeah, hook a brother up!
  7. The linkages of The Eyes to actual racism are not there, except to the recreationally triggered few. And even with them, the linked are forged by connecting snowflakes...
  8. Who said Who said only black people thought The Eyes was racist? You? It appears both black and white people are actually on both sides of this issue. But now , of course , we who disagree with you need to be lectured on what to think and say, and are obviously racist. Stop creating false narratives and inciting hate just because other people have a different viewpoint. Thats weak and pathetic.
  9. I am not sure about your reading comprehension skills: I said I don’t have a problem with the players not singing The Eyes. People can choose to do what they want. My issue is calling the song racist and having it “banned” by “the committee” for anyone who wants to sing it. Anyone should be able to choose what to do on an individual basis. What they shouldn’t do is tell the rest of us we are racist for singing this song. Read carefully, words matter.
  10. Since this branding now costs $5 million/yr + , the rope should at least be gold, and the Vodka Grey Goose.
  11. People are not advocating for required singing . That is unreasonable to me. The last part of your statement about minstrel roots is the problem. It’s about the context, which has nothing to do with the song. That is why you are incorrect. The song , the words , and the ritual of fans and athletes are not celebrating anything inappropriate. Anyone, like you , can link anything to something bad or distasteful if you force it, but it doesn’t mean it is. I bet people at minstrel shows might have mentioned the word “Texas” or “Austin” or “ Food” in their shows. It doesn’t make those words bad and we don’t need to expunge them from our vocabulary.
  12. Maybe not, our nannies on “the Committee” have not yet yet rendered their verdict on this heinous tradition of ours.
  13. So you think “The Eyes” is a minstrel song, and that’s why people sing it? This is not “Camptown Races” . People are not wearing blackface or celebrating slavery in this song. Work harder at your weak linkages.
  14. One point is that players and others are being guilted and cajoled into NOT singing it under false pretenses and by peer pressure.that part is wrong. As you yourself mentioned—it is not a racist song. Whether or not the players or fans choose to sing or choose to fart is their choice. It’s just sad that their is a fake campaign against the song and it’s singing, that’s the problem. Some people are looking for fire where there was none, and inventing bizarre rationalizations for their behavior. The song, I don’t think most players or even fans cared about the words or their meaning. It was just a thing, a ritual that many of us did together . It was basically a unifying ritual, a good thing, not a divisive ritual. Some want to take that unity away.
  15. The bizarre thread that “The Eyes “ is racist because it was performed in front of racists means that if let’s say LL Cool J or Snoop Dog or Queen or The Rolling Stones or Aerosmith has a song that a white supremacist group listened to and got excited by, it shouldn’t be allowed to be pumped out on the Godzillatron because it’s racist too? People are looking to anything in history to be recreationally triggered because I guess they ran out of legit trigger isssues. Fuck these provocateurs in their faux racist bungholes.
  16. “UT Football: Lavishly Subsidizing Failure Since 2010!”
  17. Plonsky also wants to replace football at DKR with weekly open air scissor competitions sponsored by the Flannel league and Subaru.

  19. Not getting what you pay for : “ We’re Texas!” ( whatever ad agency created that slogan should be exterminated publicly.)
  20. He is hard wired to that club as one of their charter members.
  21. The Mensanator is not crying tonight after his recurrent OU losses, and 2nd of likely many this season. Instead, he is laughing while snorting coke off of a hooker’s nipple while FaceTiming Charlie Strong and animal porn in the background. They are virtually high-fiving each other as members of the not-so-exclusive “ Longhorn Millionaire Losers Club”.
  22. I will take 5 years or less for a real HC.
  23. You forgets Charlie Strong. But it matters not--he won the big prize despite them.
  24. Yes , it's turtle Tom. Playing not to lose. I wish he was a snapping turtle, but he is a softshell pancake turtle.
