I'd rather keep my sugar daddy happy then 17-23 year olds.. May be an unpopular opinion. But if Texas wins, the 17-23yr olds won't care. If Texas loses, you still get to be rich

Well Neil Diamond wrote it about Caroline Kennedy, who was like 12 at the time it came out, so...you can run with that.
Great. Now it reminds me of the Kennedy family, specifically JFK, one of the worst presidents in American history. Maybe not the worst given the stiffness of the competition there, but probably the most overrated.
The egos in Texas have no bounds. The fact this was such a big deal to the admin (most likely donors) probably means there’s going to be some attrition throughout the year.
It’s unfortunate to say, but it’s easier to replace the players than the donors.

Sounds like it's eligible to run for governor of Virginia. Course with that weak SOS, might have to settle for Canadian PM.
Steve Sarkisian to address 'Eyes of Texas' with Longhorns players, stress importance of keeping the tradition
Sarkisian dove further into why the Longhorns will continue to sing the song after games under his watch
That may be Farrell's most underrated sketch on SNL. (Having Goodman as a straight man doesn't hurt).
I'm willing to play this out and want to see what you come up with.

Texas stadium in front of 100k people?
Obliviously singing a song mocking Muhammed in front of a bunch of extremsists where death is basically certain is off the table, because then you dont really get the money.
There are many alumni who don't subscribe to the artistic license used to facilitate this incarnation of the cancel culture movement....including Ricky Williams and Vince Young. The argument against the song is that the saying "Eyes of Texas" is racist because it's a Robert E. Lee quote and that at a certain points in history racist people sang it. It's nonsense. If black or white supremacists used Sweet Caroline as their theme song at events, no sane person would be demanding ISU stop playing it because it's ties to racism.
This whole thing is an issue because no one has presented the kids with the other side of the story. But regardless, in the short term the controversy is going to help schools that compete against them, including us.
He'll do no better than Herman. He was mediocre at both Washington and USC. This will be his 3rd failure at a high profile job.
Gosh, a thoughtful, insightful appraisal of the situation, rather than a shallow, knee-jerk reaction. I didn’t know anyone was still into doing that nowadays.
Neil Diamond admitted he wrote it about Caroline Kennedy after he saw her riding a horse after JFKs death. Someone did the math and she would have been 11-13 when the song was written.
