Not only are the mediocre again is brewing over the fight song as it is racist to some.

Players walked off the field when it played last week and donors are pissed.

Tell the players to frick off. They can find new players, it's a lot harder to find more rich people willing to give them money.

ETA: The song isn't racist, it's just old. People need to get over this whole thing about everything from the past being racist.

Unfortunately the mob is probably going to win this one.

It’s a scary domino to see fall. Tradition is what makes CFB great. The second these start getting unjustly eliminated is when the alienation of fans and alums speeds up.

What are the consequences if the players don’t participate? They will be shredded by the media.

Austin is the liberal hellhole of Texas.

They will have to cancel anything that offends anyone. Sorry, UT. Time to cave to the mob.

Players don't really understand a brand. They are trying to frick with the brand. Big money donors and most supporters aren't going to put up with it.

You people sure love turning everything into a race thing.

Ehlinger was the only one that stayed out there after the game. Has more to do with Herman losing the team and their culture than it has to do with race

Here are the lyrics:

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,

All the livelong day.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,

You cannot get away.

Do not think you can escape them

At night or early in the morn --

The Eyes of Texas are upon you

'Til Gabriel blows his horn.


Not sure how this is racist, but this article attempts to explain it.

Administrations and businesses never learn their lessons. Never cave in. Never. These trust-fund radicals will move on once they see you're not a pushover.

This is a no win situation for them. Choices are:

1.) Force players and open yourself up to plenty of negative recruiting

2.) Don't and lose millions

Why should the players care what the donors think? The AD should care but the donors should absolutely have no say what the players do.

Just because you’re a rich old dude doesn’t mean you get to tell a bunch of student athletes what to do. The players don’t owe the donors anything just because they are rich and donate money to the program.

Every player that walked off the field should have their scholarship rescinded and be kicked off the team.

Mob will win out, Libtards in Austin are growing stronger. The dark side of the force is strong there.

They ought to tell every one of those sorry MFers to pound sand. They're getting a free education as well as other perks to get their asses kicked. I'd cut every one of those bastards that walked off.

frick them I was so happy seeing the group of braves fans doing the chop.

Democrats literally want to erase them from history because of their guilt signing the Indian removal.
