"The Eyes of Texas," which is played before and after every Longhorns football game, has come under scrutiny in recent years because it was first performed in a minstrel show, which featured blackface performances, in 1903.
Really? This is their problem with it. So weak willed.

This is true 95% of the time

That's the stupidest claim of racist I think I ever heard about..
So the song was written as satire to a confederate song, but because it was used in a play in which white people in the play wore "black face" people are saying its racist and should not be played anymore? WTF?
These college kids are not just coming up with this so who is bringing this up making it an issue?

As I am a black male, I have a set of life experiences that you will never be able to even think about comprehending. I won’t even try to explain.

I can’t wait to see the fallout of this lol

I don’t even think that was the original outrage reasoning, first it was because Robert e lee used to say “the eyes of the south are upon you” to his students . One of them later made the song and changed if to “eyes of Texas”. Then they expanded it to the minstrel stuff to stir up more faux outrage.

The first one that so much as flinches about standing for the song clean their locker out that second and revoke their scholarship. None of them except Sam are going to the show, anyway. Might as well lose to Iowa State without them as with them and their bullshite.

Wanna bet this is what gets us back to the Moon?
But seriously, if we go back, you know what we are going to extract first.
