The Texas Longhorns football team will face the Baylor Bears this Saturday without the UT band blasting tunes from the bleachers. It's not because the football team has lost two-consecutive games—that's become commonplace on the Forty Acres. The band can't come to grips with playing the school song.
Many believe the school song has racial undertones, and that prompted several UT athletes this summer to demand a discontinuance of the song. The athletic and PR departments have played damage control from within, but it has since leaked into other parts of the school, campus and the state. The band conducted an internal survey about the song, and band director Scott Hanna told the school newspaper,, that"based on , we do not have the necessary instrumentation, so we will not participate in Saturday's game" against Baylor.
At some point people are just going to tell the left to go screw themselves and stop ruining everything.
