You have a point. It isn't A&M.Jesus. Who the hell cares if they stay out for the school song. It isn’t a god damned cult.

Again, not how my history and English professors taught me in Ames. Objects and things not reasonably classified as alive are “it,” including even named hurricanes.
Guess my professors were wrong...?
Best beer commercial song ever

If Central Texas is extremely racist as a whole, then Iowa might as well be Mississippi Burning.
I like the overrated teams and conference finish picks in the next story after that one.

Haha. Okay.
Been on my list but haven’t gotten around to it.
How would one ask every sailor ever?A ship is always referred to as feminine. Ask every sailor ever.
You might be trying a little too hard on this one.
If they didn't teach you to think for yourself and come to your own conclusions - then yes.
The opening scene portrays african americans in a negative stereotypical fashion. You would not be amused.
You want to see somnething cringeworthy in a popular movie? Early in The Longest Yard Burt Reynolds beats the crap out of his girlfriend. Like, no big deal. Old movies and TV shows have tons of slaps and violence against women. It's crazy.The opening scene portrays african americans in a negative stereotypical fashion. You would not be amused.
I meant trying to hard on the whole thing.
Your response has confirmed this.
When two tenured and award-winning professors from two different departments at a prestigious research university like Iowa State, both of which spend a large proportion of their professional lives writing and editing, say that things are an "it" unless they are explicitly and literally male or female, you tend to listen to them.
There is a time to think for yourself, and there is a time to listen to expertise.
Nah, we Americans have lots to be sorry about. I just watched Borat again a night or two ago in anticipation of the sequel coming out, and all that does is make fun of negative American stereotypes.
And it is hilarious doing it.
Just watched High Plains Drifter again a couple of weeks ago. The "rape her until she likes it" scene is beyond uncomfortable.You want to see somnething cringeworthy in a popular movie?

So, you mean that a car or a ship don't really have a gender? If only someone would have taught me that at my prestigious institution of research.
Wow, got any other brain busters for us?
You are one of about three people on Earth that noticed or cared that the term "loyal sons" was gender specific.
Calm down, dude.
Ive been to several Texas weddings and never heard this song. I dont think its dissemination is as wide as this article suggests.The song actually has ties to Robert E. Lee who phrased it: The eyes of the south ...
Texas's turn-of-the-century president changed Lee's words to "the eyes of Texas are upon you" in a graduation speech. Students picked up on it, put some lyrics around it, and thus came the song The Eyes of Texas.
The problem is not only with Robert E. Lee, the real issue is that those students first brought the song in a minstrel show, meaning they were in black face at the time.
But it is not a silly song. To say that is to not understand Texas. The Eyes are played not only at UT events but at every kind of social occasion, like weddings since written in 1903.
