    I didn't know about its origin story. Also, from a personal standpoint, I wouldn't get rid of it. But I understand what's happening now and why its days are numbered.

    I don't mind people bringing up questions about it. Especially young people. You gotta start asking questions at this age. It's natural, and healthy. Obviously, I don't fall completely in line with the idea, so I know I'll be labeled some type of way. But I do think we should have discussions about stuff like that. And that's part of why I word my points the way I do, to introduce the idea that nothing is really off limits if getting rid of "eyes" is a serious possibility.

    I don't get it?  Should they be going back in time to get the school integrated sooner before worrying about the song?

    It's pretty simple. The song has no racist meaning in itself, but if we're to say it's racist based on its origins, then I think it's fair to say the University of Texas is currently racist based on it's origins and past actions (as would be most universities). They don't seem to have a problem representing the university by being in the band. Just the song? It's interesting to me.

    This country has a very short history, and a very racist one. Chances are anywhere you look you'll see something born out of it.

  3. Super K-TFB....

    I know there has been a lot of twitter talk about the desire by some Texas fans to see Texas hire Urban Meyer.

    Of course much of this is premature. Herman still has a path to redemption – make it to the Big 12 championship and win.

    But I have now heard from multiple folks that back channel donor talk dealing with Urban has already begun.

    I have no idea what that means about the potential for the hire to materialize but I can say it seems it’s not just a discussion happening on twitter.

    well no shit. that was the entirety of my point in the post you took issue with. take a lap, buck.

    Oh, absolutely not. I still disagree that it was a rebuild because it wasn't. In our case, it was an attempt to get better, and take the next step. It didn't happen because Tom isn't a good enough coach. The talent has gotten plenty better, especially for the Big 12. 

    In Bama's case, it was in an effort to maintain the dominance the team already had (and happened to be the only other recent example I could think of where two coordinators were replaced in the same year, without being a rebuild).

    It was a minor disagreement, but I can see it's just easier to say FTH and agree with you so yah FTH. And The Brockermeyers.

    we replaced almost the entire staff. by definition, we had to 'rebuild'. i still can't believe CDC let him do that. what a fuckwad.

    They didn't replace near the entire staff... and even when you bring in new coordinators, if the players are good and well coached enough to begin with, you don't fall down like this, and it's not a rebuild.

    Bama replaced their two coordinators last year, and no one said they were rebuilding.

    Id say that the only evidence we have is that we haven't heard outright that he isn't.

    I'd say you are correct. Outside a few hints here and there from people saying he'd be interested, we haven't heard anything concrete (unless I skipped something/my brain has been formatted after Greenspoint Day yesterday). But it's something that there hasn't been an effort to shut that down, like there would be if it were false.
