  1. These are such fundamentally flawed comparisons to something that is being considered racist that I'm not even going to go through them. I think I have a better understanding of what you're trying to say so thanks.
  2. If this is how you're trying to delineate things, you're simply saying "I don't care about personally supporting racist/discriminatory institutions as long as I wasn't the one persecuted" which really explains a lot of your comments and is exactly what @sheeeit pointed out. To sum it up, I don't think the song is racist but am trying to understand peoples view points and how we can move forward. You think it's racist and don't care about using it for your personal use (but not at school), which is kind of like a racist person using the n word in private because no one in their friend group may care.
  3. You are "stuck" on this. You think it gives validity to any claim the song is racist. You are "stuck on" its origin. I'm not debating its historical fact. I think the song has moved significantly past it given 99.9% of people who sung it over the last 30+ years had no idea. You can say the black community feels different (which I'm not arguing) but you can't say you're not stuck on it, because its the whole basis of your argument - you even use it two bullet points later! "who don't find singing a song inspired by Lee and introduced to use at a minstrel show to be a uniting experience." You don't think the song has moved past its origins - you are "stuck" on that point. What about the black Longhorns who have come out in support of the song? Do we have to appease every single one? (Again, just trying to understand your view on where you draw the line) These two sentences are contradictions - you can't say you respect someone for not doing it (thereby understanding them) and then in the next sentence say what I'm saying makes no sense because you can't understand it.
  4. @bad_teammateYou seem to be taking this really personally and have very strong beliefs the eyes shouldn't be used. Regardless of my personal opinion, you seem to be stuck on "it was used at a minstrel show" for your basis. Where do you draw the line in other aspects of your life? Will you never buy a volkswagon because it was a nazi company or has it transformed beyond that? What about all the other numerous examples or companies connected to ugly pasts?
  5. I pay $1.36 per $100/no deduct annually through State Farm for my watch ($10-15k). Have been moving more over to Lemonade because of their prices, including my wife’s ring which is covered for $0.89 per $100/no deduct annually (value of ring is multiples of the watch; happy wife happy life). State Farm wanted 3x that. I have had issues in the past and State Farm has been very helpful. No claims yet on lemonade so can’t speak to that.
  6. Gotta get the holding calls up in the unimportant games so the yearly averages dont look off
  7. The least surprising thing in this collage is the profile pictures of all the commentators
  8. Anyone go to the game this weekend and see it in person? Curious how peoples reactions were.
  9. While trying to figure out how to get a LHN stream.. TEXAS!!!!!!
  10. Looks like they are starting to put in the chairbacks, which gives some indication of what the 25% capacity/social distancing will look like.Also have installed those protective orange barriers on both sides.
  11. Starting to build out the fan platforms where the new end zone meets the west side. Shows how much of section 1 will be lost
  12. Thats very unfortunate. We are behind on our lighting and need to improve compared to others.
  13. Didn't recruit a single transfer QB in a market that was ripe with them
  14. There are also many breaks in the game to enjoy looking at other aspects of actually going to the game in person, like bevo and the cannon.
  15. Yea because movies also release final renderings that show something looking very similar. The renderings plus this don't give me much hope.
  16. We made fun of aggy so hard for their shitty stadium lines and now we have this.

    Dabo and Clemson

    He's not wrong about Georgia losing to South Carolina being brushed under the table by a lot of people though.
  18. We were a last second field goal away from losing to Kansas and Kansas State and going 5-7.
  19. GTNY

    Orlando fired

    In on page 1. Thank fucking god
  20. I dont understand how people are repping this post. Leach having the same winning percentage at shitty schools vs Hermans at Texas shows hes been relatively more successful and is a better coach... Look at whats happened to Tech since he left. Look at WSU's record before he got there. He does more with less. (Also he's 6-5 this year but has average >9 wins over the four years prior) @Bill Lumbergh is asking the right questions. I'm not saying Leach is the answer but gmr's post is actually showing the opposite of what hes trying to say. If Leach wasn't such a weird person, he would 100% have been given a chance at a "tier 1" job already.
  21. Fuck the haters who make fun of supporting our team, especially on senior day.
  22. About to hop on the plane to watch us kick some ass FIGHT!!!
