I don’t even know what to say. That is so incredibly depressing. But justifies my decision to turn the game off in the 1st qtr. As I said, watching this team is a joyless,  sterile, miserable at worst experience. 

Hope CDC sees this. If Herman has truly lost the team, he has to be fired.

Yeah, if this was the case all season it’d suck, but it hasn’t been.
 

i wasn’t going to die on the eyes hill, but I’m not doing anything with texas football until this cancer is purged. To be clear, not the cancer of people expressing free speech, but all the fucking cowards that used it as an excuse to leave the field for the first time today.

This time doesn't even seem like a social justice stance. I think these players are just saying screw this coaching staff, we're out of here. I mean how many have stayed after other games this year? (honestly don't know but I'm guessing a lot more than 1)

You screwed up.  You should have watched the 2nd quarter, 4th quarter and first 3 OTs.

It was disappointing, but there was a lot of joy before the very end.

Any player that won't stand with their teammate in defeat is a coward and I do not want them on my team. 

The team has no heart. They don’t bleed orange. The song is not racist. Players aren’t intelligent enough to realize that. No need for them to worry about me staying to  sing the Eyes in solidarity with them. I won’t bother to show up. Then they can jog off the field in silence. Sorry but Earl and Ricky were winners. Heisman winners. They would never do that. I stand with the players 100% on SJ and equality. Not on stupidity. The song is dumb sure but not racist. Why even have the band play fight songs if it bothers the players so much? To not even acknowledge the fans after the game win or lose shows me that their priorities are whack and they’re not as “woke” as they think they are.

That's such a bad look and i wish they would continue that tradition but using it as an excuse is weak. They sang the eyes last year and were also terrible so I don't think that's the issue.

 

Herman just flat fucking sucks. He is what he is at this point and if his leadership was better he would be able to convince the team to use the eyes to rally around each other instead of divide each other.

Shit is sad all around.  This just adds to it.  Not much joy in winning this game anymore.  With a lot of family invested in UT and my young nephews who love UT, it's just sad.  Get rid of Tom or go the route of U of C.  This BS is completely unacceptable.

Team is garbage. They don’t even know what they fight for. And it’s clear they certainly have no pride. 

They will get patted on the back for their comeback but this OU team sucks. Just lost to KSU and ISU back to back weeks. If you can't beat them this year, there is no hope for this team. this season was already done after last week. Now it's in the toilet. How many more wins do can we count? Kansas?

I don’t count any at this point. They have so many issues I’m not sure it can be quantified. And it starts with the program culture and head coach

Feel free to make light of it, but it’s a pretty big deal that, from the perspective of many of our players, fans who sing the Eyes are on par with the Boogaloo Boys. At other schools, players show solidarity with the fans after the game. The fans support the players, the players support the fans. But at Texas, the players hold the fans in disdain. Yeah, I think that’s a problem going forward.

Same thing happened against UTEP except it was Sam and a few other players.

Been a symbol of unity for a decade. All ages, colors and cultures. Now it’s just a fake reason to claim victim status and avoid personal responsibility. 
 

no unity. Only suppression. Starts at the top.

It's just another sympton of a coach who doesn't have control of his football program.

Texas is an SJW school, they shouldn't even have sports teams anymore.

Negged. 

Wanting this to be about your political biases is stupid. There was nothing wrong with the team having opinions and stating them on a major issue that concerns them. They're not losing because they care about other people off the field.

They're losing for football reasons. They're not soft; they're undisciplined. They're not stupid; they work in schemes that fail. They don't lack passion; they haven't been coached to control and apply that passion equally.

This pool of talented players is a mess, and I don't think it's because they'd be a mess no matter where they were playing. It's a football problem not a political one. Take your politics somewhere else, don't make yet another non political board your snowflake haven.

It is sad seeing only Sam out there. I'm not sure how to interpret it, but I won't run through my political filter, thank you very much.

I thought Herman was a good hire. If we get rid of him quickly, we will have a better foundation for the next guy than he got. His assistants were handcuffed by not having more time to introduce their systems, but that's just a footnote to seeing more of the same from the previous seasons.

Urban, Mullen, or Traylor for me. The sooner the better.

I think the team just lost me .., and probably a lot of other fans as well.

Feel bad for Sam.
