Texas opens as a 14 point favorite v Baylor
Did anyone see what the B-12 refs said about the outcome of the game tomorrow? Asking for a friend. Just curious. They probably will stick to the usual protocol. ( Protocol# F-250)

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Maybe not, our nannies on “the Committee” have not yet yet rendered their verdict on this heinous tradition of ours.

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.

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.

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.
