Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
I think you are being disingenuous. I graduated from The University more than thirty years ago. I have never in my life had the remotest idea the The Eyes is somehow racist. Trying to make it so by looking at some part of the environment at some point in time is worse than disingenuous, it's an outright and intentional lie. The question is: why are you doing it?

Have any of you fine people, lurking or participating, come up with a replacement? It's not even needed, unless the song needs to be replaced. But the title assumes replacement is required, so y'all need to get into action and find that new song. Or an old one, of course, although there's a definite lack of respect for that. What's the New Song?

No, it's not. It's the same as always, the vast majority of content is nothing but propaganda. I also am not happy with Twitter, but I am not happy with any other portion of the so-called "media". Baylor and Penn State likely would take issue with that statement. They were the Western Crew, and while the Eastern Crew (Blacks and Irish) probably would agree with that, the use of such a specific tune does not necessarily follow. Still, my sarchasmeter did not malfunction, as some others' did. I would extend the point to the length at which one might just as deservedly claim to be offended by and thus seek to ban every work, music, visual art, or otherwise, of racially incongruent persons. To me, The Eyes is a silly song, not a racist one. But silliness has never offended me. I don't believe attacking the song as being racist for any of the "reasons" that have been given holds any water at all. Stop it.

It's important to remember that some things are True, even if they never happened.

Multironic. This has been my experience, as well.

What was your most heart breaking moment as a sports fan?
Biggest heartbreak? Hmmm. Probably the day my grandma told me TV wrestling was fake. It's okay, though, because I never really liked Duke Keomuka all that much.

Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
I'm tired of these arguments over bad coaching. We've had 3+ years of done-gave-up Brown, 3 years of the worst-ever record of all our head coaches, Charlie Strong, and 4 years of (apparently fake) Mensa Tom Herman. Even talking about, much less arguing about, which was worse and why, is a complete waste of time. Ten years' suffering these ludicrous excuses for multi-million-dollar salaries is more than enough. No more bullshit about the shitty past, start talking about what we've got going on now and how we can make it even better. Go.

Yes. Yes, it is. But only if you were there. No one who wasn't will ever really understand. We few, we band of brothers... well, and sisters, right Naughty Nikki?

Was he not? Or were those who said so substituting "funny" the way we used to say someone was "special" when we actually meant he was not just dumber than warmed-over dogshit, but dressed by retards?

My personal take is this: I have a BIL who is a BMD of 30 years or so with TCU. That's mostly academic, Texas is his sports love. He was at both the Tech game and the TCU game, and after the latter he and some other TCU guys were schmoozing with UT BMDs, and it came up that enough was more than enough, and they were going for Urban, and that nothing Urban demanded would be denied. Following 0U, he heard the pursuit of Urban was headed into full blast mode. Sounded like some were ready to go write Urban a check on the spot and come home and fire #MensaTom immediately. I think that probably matches several others' information, as well. Since then, I have looked at the slogging process as having been essentially successful, and with Urban calling all the shots, including timing. I was - and am - okay with Urban not being worried about "early" signing recruits, as the current NCAA climate appears to allow post LOI transfers of HS players coming in and any-class transfers playing immediately. Urban doesn't come across as arrogant, just self-assured, and I think he's probably 100% correct that he could take over in January and have more players wanting to join him than we have schollies for. Is he still on the way here? I won't believe he's not until it's actually and officially announced by Urban and/or Chris. Doesn't mean it's not scary, but I don't see it as being outside the process going back to the early season, when we all saw that #MensaTom was still micro-managing, making horrible in-game decisions, and being his own special kind of half-drunk (explains a lot) dipshit. Bottom line: Ain't givin' up yet.

Has it been determined whether Yurcich called the Kansas State game? Well, and was Herman calling most of the other games?

According to important social media influencers such as InstaTwitFace, that terminology is not to be used any longer. Replace it in your vocabulary with Melatonin Denial.

Sam has looked like he was injured in several appearances over the last two seasons. Seemed to be ribs, limiting his throwing abilities. He also seems to wait for his first read to get open instead of progressing quickly. The last game with Kansas State was very different and my game watch partner said he thought Mike Y was calling the plays without micro management by Herman. Maybe that could continue if we don't land Meyer.

There can be no doubt. This. This is the replacement for The Eyes.

If you really have information regarding an ass college, in Yankeenia or not, your own sense of decency should impel you to contact Mr. Future.

Jeff Traylor Should Starts
Urban already told us how to do this. 1. Hire Jeff Traylor as "Assistant AD for Football" 2. Herman ordered to report directly to Traylor 3. Traylor takes responsibility for recruiting, training, and game planning 4. Traylor makes Yurcich and Ash responsible for their own calls 5. When Herman inevitably steps out of line, fire him for insubordination, no buyout 6. ? 7. Profit
