    I read an article this moring about the band refusing to play The Eyes of Texas due to it's racist past.

    Someone should remind them which party to not vote for due to their racist past since apparently we only look at the long ago past and not the present.

    To All,

    I would bet that it "chapped the FAR LEFT'S rear" that the ENTIRE LONGHORN TEAM stayed on the field for the playing of THE EYES OF TEXAS after we won the BAYLOR game this PM.
    (Anyone besides me think that the Head Coach told the so-called 'SJW' on the team to "Just clam up or GET OUT"??)

    I read last week that the AD came out and said he expects the entire team to remain on the field for The Eyes of Texas.

    I don't think they had a choice. Well, they had the choice to not play football and walk away from their scholarships I guess.

    Maybe next week the AD can tell the band to just stay home that they're being replaced with recordings for the entire game.

    F350-6,

    UNLESS the LONGHORN BAND decides "en mass" to play THE EYES the next & at every other game, I suggest that they be SUSPENDED until next year & THE ALUMNI BAND be asked to play at ALL the games this year.
    (I know any number of the Alums & they play WELL, - The Alumni Band will have NO problem with playing our school song & maybe several times each game & they all KNOW how to play, "GRANDIOSO", too.)

    BTW, I really MISS Dr. Vincent R. Di Nino leading the LONGHORN BAND.

    yours, satx

    I guess "Sticks and stones may break my bones but world will never hurt me!" does not apply the UT sports players or the band. So when did UT start admitting and recruiting whingers like this?

    I was there in the 80's and it was already over run with the liberals. From what I understand, it wasn't anything new by the time I got there.

    F350-6,

    Don't worry about what a few FOOLS & soreheads think/do NOT think about THE EYES, as long as there is an UT EX-Students ASSN, it will NOT be changed & the teams/band can conform OR we will pressure the Board until the members are removed/reformed/get expelled.

    Apologies up front - I think I’ve seen this article already posted once:
    “University of Texas Longhorn band won't play "The Eyes of Texas" this weekend after some members say they're unwilling”


    I chose to be a UT fan when I moved to Texas four years ago, but they are apparently too liberal for me to be a fan anymore.

    So which college team am I to root for now, A&M?
    The Aggies would be a great choice.
    Gig 'Em! You should make a game some day and see the band perform at halftime. They are awesome.
