  1. He does not hate Trump. He was consulting with the campaign during the summer. I don't trust what he says. He has an agenda. Read the CNN article about the 5G company he represents that is about to get rich from Trump making the pentagon deal with them?
  2. Trump does not do anything to help anyone but himself.
  3. The fact of the matter is that the world is transitioning away from fossil fuels and we can either let other countries develop and become the suppliers of this technology or we can try to employ our people by trying to become the leader. Sticking your head in the ground about the future is short sided.
  4. I think they have some split allocation of electoral votes and one of the most populous areas of the state is trending Biden.
  5. It's not just that I don't agree with you, it is just that I don't understand how you could walk away with that impression.
  6. I don't understand how his supporters think he is such a strong leader when the most used word in his limited vocabulary is "unfair". He is like a victim of everything.
  7. I have never voted for a R in the entirety of my 52 years and I was not about to start now.
  8. I don't think that the EOT is overtly or slightly racist. What some idiots did 100 years ago has no bearing on what the song has come to mean to people who had no idea of minstrel shows. Even if it had a racist meaning (which I don't concede), that meaning has been washed away over the course of a century. I think that complaining about the EOT is carrying things too far. BUT, this is all on the University. They failed for way too long to not address symbols of actual racism on campus. There is no way it should have taken until 2020 to change the name of the RLM Bldg. The civil war statutes should have been removed long before they were. When I was there in the late 80's there were Sambo shirts, Old South parties with people dressed in blackface and Klan outfits, and shirts with confederate glorification. Go look at the 89-90 Cactus and see what the controversy was about with regards to the Round Up Parade. Leadership failed to address these long festering issues. Not surprised it blew up on them.

    None of this is true. Respect it is your opinion but not based on fact.
  10. I think that what Sam was saying was that he supported his teammates in their feelings about the song even though it meant something to him personally. Now he feels like they are not supporting the team by committing to what it takes to win and he just said screw it.
  11. Players should be told that their scholarship is dependent upon them singing the EOT only if they lose.
  12. One incompetent asshole is about to lose his job in Nov so I see no reason why Herman should not as well.
  13. Wish we had a coach who was not actively engaged in on the job learning.
  14. I like Presidents who don't get sick.
  15. https://twitter.com/SpiroAgnewGhost/status/1309334131575123968?s=20
  16. The only way this could have been handled worse is if Dan Patrick had been Gov.
  17. Kind of agree that this guy is an interloper and I really don't care what he thinks. I thought these guys were interested in more than symbolic pandering. I say nope.
  18. That is a reflection on the stupid ass people who presented it. Not the song. Am I attached to the song? Kind of. I mean it never occurred to me that it was racist. There have even been a couple of times at games where I have gotten choked up when it is sung because it causes me to reflect on my experience at the University. That's what it means to me. This is what the players are missing about this issue. I have no frame of reference to the presentation that they are complaining about. Neither do 95% of the people hearing all this crap for the first time. They are essentially taking something that up to yesterday meant something special to some people and are telling them that it is racist and further you are racist if you aren't willing to disavow it. I believe that there is institutional racism. I believe that I have benefited from being white. I also believe that it is all of our responsibility to overcome these things. But, I just think issues like this do more damage to bringing the rest of society along. Ignorant people have presented the Bible in a racist way. The list is endless.
  19. The statues should come down and new names be put on the buildings. No problem. But, they are overreaching with the demands about the "Eyes". Overreaching is the kind of shit that will get Trump re-elected.
