topher805 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Obviously donors are able to pick and choose who they give to and why, but oof. Some of those emails were rough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So they are trying to “cancel” the cancel culture. It’s kind of ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think they are a little late reporting this. Those emails were public knowledge months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Saw the Caden Sterns tweet about the donors/alumni. It’s just a big old mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Some of those emails are embarrassing to say the least. All big universities have them - doesn't make it okay. On the other hand, I don't see many players complaining about donors when they come off the practice field to find a couple hundred dollars or more tucked down in their shoe or stuffed in a pocket of their pants. And don't tell me this doesn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The university is going to put out their findings next week over the song and other things mentioned by the players last year. I’m very excited to read what they found and add some truth to these racist claims. I listened to an interview with Quan Cosby Monday and he said what they found was very enlightening. He was one of several alumni’s on the committee along with current students, administrators, and faculty members. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The local TV station ran a story on this last night. Though they showed both sides of the story it was still probably 60/40 to 70/30 slanted toward the ones that wanted it removed. To the casual observer, who fails to do critical thinking or any thinking at all, I can see how the opinion is formed to have it removed. As an alum I receive calls throughout the year from current students asking me for donations to the school above what I already give. I am going to start my own poll on what they think of the song as that will be my leading comment after they ask me for more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t have to worry about it for much longer. He’ll be busy on some teams practice squad in the cfl before you know it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Uh yeah, Sark better control this issue in the coming season. Seems like he's started well, but Austin gonna Austin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's started well, but Austin gonna Austin... Easy fix, stand as a team for the song or leave as a team for the song. If you stand as a team, they don't have to throw the hook 'em. Also, this song's lyrics have nothing to do with racism. The origination of the music and original lyrics (which have nothing to do with Texas) is where the racism started. Tracing back to the beginning of America, there has been racism after the first groups of settlers. You pick anything and dig far enough and you can probably find some roots in racism or slave culture. We need to recognize that more than 80% of America has moved past this slave mentality. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can advise them on who to listen to, but I think the powers that be in the university should be handling these issues. I think the president, dean, regents, whoever need to step in and say that when you are on our dime you will do as we say. Stand for the eyes, etc.... when you’re on your own time and all obligations to the university have been fulfilled that week you can go do whatever as long as it doesn’t break your coach’s team policy.

If you stand for the song, obviously you're racist and you get canceled by the woke crowd. If you don't stand for the song, you're a libtard and you get canceled by the rich dudes who pay the bills. No one has moved past anything. It's all outrage porn, all the time. They better be more concerned about pleasing the rich dudes who pay the bills rather than the libnut woketard whores who have no power whatsoever........

At a normal university, yes, but at UT the coach is the "face" of the program. Sark better fix it, or he's gonna get canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody wants to be the victim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
