Good question.  Kerstetter and TQ were out there with Sam after UTEP.

Except he was the ONLY player there today. Not even walk ons or redshirts

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.

Tldr

Yup, when your QB and unquestioned leader stands by himself it really punches you in the gut.  

[Longboard Horn 41,456]

Fuck em all. The zoomers generation is so fucking entitled with their participation trophies and selfish me-first attitudes. Embarrassment for this University. 

[MirrOlure 15,334]

The fact that these shitty ass players think they have any role whatsoever in the “controversy” is laughable.

 

Not a goddamn one of them will ever be remembered 2 years from now for being anything other than a bunch of fucking whiney ass pussies (except Sam).

 

So fuck them. Fuck their manufactured idealism, and most of all, fuck their inability to play the fucking game of football....the only fucking reason any of them are here in the first fucking place.

[Wally Pryor 5,413]

Making light of this? 

Your team leader, who lives and dies burnt orange, who has walked the lines for weeks with black players, and he is standing alone at the end of a gut wrenching game by himself with the school song being played.  While his pussiy-field heart broken teammates walk off the field.  

Fuck them all.  Fuck them.

Don't give a shit. They're a bunch of fucking pansies as well.  Fuck them all. They couldn't hold Ehlinger's jock.  Much less protect them when it mattered most.

If we had 21 other guys with the balls of Ehlinger we wouldn't be talking about this now.

[Pepper 1]

Bunch of entitled stupid pieces of shit. Can't get on the same page about anything other than crying. Getting a free education but too fucking stupid to use it properly or value it. If they would just put in the work and effort they could be legends here and trap benefits for life. I mean look at VY he's done everything possible to fuck his life up post football but there's always fans and alumni there to give him another boost into something new.

Not only do they not appreciate what they're given they spit in the fans faces after going out and losing to a shitty 1-2 team who can't beat KSU or ISU. Fans should boycott the rest of the season not like these selfish fucks would even notice

Props to Sam for not bowing to peer pressure unlike the other seniors. 

 

No matter how you feel about the 'Eyes' that is a sad picture.

He represents what a leader and warrior embodies in every respect.  Though his last game in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas was a loss, he honored his University the state he has represented there every year by standing proudly for "The Eyes".   I am saddened to see that he was the only player who chose to do this, because the statement the rest of the country and the world will take from this is shameful.

I’ll go out on a limb and say more players would’ve been out there if we had won. 
 

They’d just lost an emotional game. Dudes are pissed. Many are soured on the song. To extrapolate that the players who didn’t stand out there hate the school or the team or Sam is ridiculous. I don’t give a fuck who does or doesn’t stand out there after the game. Just fucking play better & win.

All herman does is act arrogant and selfish. It pours out from his skin every day. You can just see it in him. All these dudes on the team with no real father figures look to him for cues and this is the shit they see and copy. He's the worst leader for a football team I've ever seen. Even the worst coaches in history of the program didn't do this. Even strong didn't cause this type of division and arrogant narcissism in the team

Ah so "stand with" wasn't the usual metaphor we all commonly use regarding holding a position in solidarity, it's literally about being upright on two feet?

lol

As I said, the initial Surly consensus was that The Eyes would be a personal choice for players. The players are exercising their personal choice and, as far as I know, not making a public stink about players who make a different one.

Now, we are in the midst of grown men seeing who can make the boldest statement of disgust in a virtue signaling contest that would rival the pointless and hollow sanctimony of any gathering of SJWs.

[Chad 1,728]

This is the toxic culture Tom Herman has established at Texas. How many players are going to jump into the portal next week? I'm going to go out on a limb and say 2-3. The players are quitters who are soft and entitled, they haven't won anything significant.

You are in a thread of grown men FURIOUSLY posting about how young men are going into the locker room instead of standing during a variation of I've Been Working on the Railroad.

Besides, all players but one were in the locker room... sounds like unity to me.

[BornOrange1955 77]

I'm white. Only have an intellectual idea what it's like growing up Black in America. I acknowledge and respect that their America might be vastly different from the one I grew up in.

When this "Eyes" controversy began, I researched the origin of the song. From what I understand it never had any racial overtones.It was meant to say to UT students and alums always be on your best behavior, because you represent Texas and we are watching. I DO understand the minstrel singing in whiteface (or was it blackface) and that could offend someone. 

My first Texas game was the 1962 OU game (we won 9-6).I was 7.  My dad told me the "Eyes" meant the Horns were watching you, and no matter how early or late in the day it was, we were going to kick your bleeping ass. It was all about sports.I get goosebumps when I flash the Hook 'em sign and sing that song. I'm sure as hell not thinking I'm a superior White man!!

So, yeah, I respect a difference of opinion. But geez, we've been singing this song for a long time. You scholarship athletes knew it was the school song when you were offered a scholarship. If it bothered you so much, don't come to Texas. It's kinda hypocritical.

Just my two cents.
