The Longhorn Band will not play “The Eyes of Texas” at this Saturday’s football game between the University of Texas at Austin and Baylor University after a survey of members revealed several students are unwilling to play the traditional alma mater song, according to The Daily Texan.
quote:

Band members are “evenly divided” over playing the song, the student newspaper reported, but responses from certain instrument sections would prevent the band from playing this week. The message from Hanna said many band members wanted to have further discussions about the song, which he said he would facilitate.
A recording will be played for now, but once the band stops playing it, the fight is over. Just another nail in the coffin for UT football.

Tell all the band nerds to pack their shite, all scholarship money for the band is a gone pecan.

Who needs a freaking band anyway, especially when you don't have fans.

Simple yes or no do you agree this particular instance is ridiculous?

Logically speaking, anyone against the song for the reasoning being used should also be against clothes, food, shelter, water etc etc

This is what happens when you hire a kissing bandit to coach the team. Good grief.
