I think Clemson going to the White House while Trump was there is much worse than this song issue.
Has The Eyes of Texas issue been put to bed?

Where did he go to high school?
"I am thrilled to return to my Longhorn roots at The University of Texas at Austin," Croomes said in a statement released by Texas that did not address the song controversy. "I have a long history with the Longhorn Band, and it's a dream come true to lead this program."
Ok, UT hires a black band director and he knows that he will be required to play that song. And he takes the job anyway. Ok, that's fine. So the song must not be that offensive. Black athletes are still signing to play sports at UT. I was watching the BIG XII Track and Field championships on YouTube yesterday, and those black athletes were throwing up those "hook'em horns" signs like they always do. So........
LOL - and some refuse to leave Austin unless you ban them cause some can't function outside the bubble.

I am not certain what high school he attended but I can almost guarantee it was not in the hood.
Amid 'Eyes' issues, Texas hires 1st Black director
