  1. telling the children "no" would go a long way toward restoring the natural order of things, but it's pretty out of favor at this point
  2. like The Eyes of Texas growing to represent pride in the university versus where it originated?
  3. is the NBA doing a supplemental draft so the Jazz can rebuild their roster after Rudy Gobert killed everyone?
  4. we just have to convince the experts that these large social gatherings are valuable to the general public health, and then we're good to go
  5. man, I'm really surprised someone would have a batshit crazy response to all the normal, rational, reasoned activities of the past week
  6. And at the time, Gary Moeller was considered a wide-open modernist compared to how Schembechler's offense operated even as late as 1989.
  7. he hasn't apologized for not embracing gay marriage earlier, I don't think this is enough but it should be enough to get the "extra draft pick for minority coaches" idea rekindled
  8. oh me-so-zoic oh-oh, me-so-zoic oh me-so-zoic me love you long time
  9. It is not "aggy" to refuse to patronize i.e., give money to an ostensibly impartial news source that republishes material from Texags.com. You either don't understand what Texags.com is, or you don't understand how that alignment flat-out contradicts how The All-American was marketed when it launched.
  10. And it was on pay per view, and my roommate and I dragged our TV to his girlfriend's (much bigger/nicer) place and had a watch party there. So I remember the day, but damn I cannot place where I was when I first saw the play.
  11. and, again, I don't think someone jokingly insisting his skin color entitles him to privilege is the same as someone jokingly denigrating another race-- that is particularly why I think his joke was harmless. He didn't make a Carrolton video; he didn't even mention another race. It reads like a jokey "dopey white person with expectations" remark.
  12. what if it were satirizing the thought process of someone who actually expects white privilege? I'm not saying Fromm is some sophisticated satirist, but I personally do read that joke as him sending up his status.
  13. Cancel your subscription. Doing so doesn't revoke your access.
  14. I do not give a flying fuck what you as a corporate entity think about COVID or George Floyd and I didn't ask. You do not need to email me to tell me you care about him, It, Them, etc, because not only do I not believe you but also, again, I didn't ask.
  15. They are probably retrenching, the same as a lot of other media outlets. I personally would think that along with Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Michigan, the traffic and interest generated by a Texas beat writer would pay for the writer, but maybe not. It probably doesn't help that any Texas fan paying attention isn't willing to subscribe and underwrite Texags. I cancelled my subscription the minute that shit was announced, and I bet I was one of the first thousand subscribers when the site launched.
  16. has he apologized yet today? it's almost one in the afternoon
  17. then it seems like you have an issue with the nomenclature, because even if you want to take the word "cancel" as literally as you possibly can in order to pretend it's not actually a thing, the outrage culture is an obstacle.
  18. What do you think was racist about saying, presumably jokingly, only white people should be able to buy something? If he didn't actually mean it, what was racist about it, in your opinion? Whether anyone found the joke funny or not, it is a combination of tongue-in-cheek and gallows humor. I don't know what's in his heart or mind, but the joke looks to me like someone sending up his status and the widespread assumption of white privilege.
