I really don't think yall are a bunch of racist bigoted idiots, so don't get drawn offsides by that thread. Leave that for the idiot t-shirts like hoover.

No problem. Not like I could post over there if it did piss me off.

How bout coming back with a new handle? I Dare You to Ban Me might work.

I'm already on Andrew's bad list since I posted "Calderon can suck my dick" all of two days off of a ban that he shortened for me. I'm not sure why politics posters vote those kinds of posts down.

I think I'll play it safe when I get back on.

We try not to use "sip" over here. Helps to keep the discussions a little more civil.

"Flag Burning Tube-Steak Tarzans" is perfectly acceptable, however.

as a t-shirt fan, i couldn't give two shits less

what do you got now, three or four?

for what it's worth, I think you leave the name alone, it's our history and we need to own it....good or bad.

Those Klanhorn threads have been a hoot.

The 40 acres and a mule post was cash fucking money.

Much obliged.

You'd have to say, given the common stereotypes of Ags and Horns, that no one saw this coming.

So how many horn posters are spending hours this holiday weekend google every A&M building's name along with Klan.

My guess is by Tues, more horns will know the history behind every Aggie building on campus than most of us Aggies know.

To the dumbasses who are saying "yeah, but you have this that and the other"; you need to STFU. It is a FACT that we have a building named after a racist. It needs to be changed, plain and simple. Who gives a fuck what a building at A&M is named after? That's got nothing to do with the fact that we have a dorm named after Simkins. I had no idea and I wonder if the "higher ups" at Texas did. Change the name of the stupid building and be done with it.

if it makes any difference, i honestly considered googling it, but than i realized that not only do i not care, this klanhorn thing is mildly funny. at least, it will be until it get's run into the ground.

Ned you've been around TA long enough to not take the bait. That's a skill that's hard to learn on that board.

Actually if Texas came out and said "yea the guy did this but this is also what he did for UT, so we are not changing a damn thing" I'd give them fucking props.

That usually occurs within 24 hrs. However with the holiday weekend this will stretch out until Tuesday.

B Q 90, i need the girl you use for your .gif to quit fucking with my emotions and just let them tig ol bitties go. i need to see them.

I really like good poetry. You should write book or something.

Brought to you by the sick fucks that roam the Shack

This is one of those existential moments in the Internet. If a Horn fan doesn't cruise Texags, then the thread doesn't exist for that person. Pretty simple.

Ned, you are my pal and I am proud to call you a friend, but I disagree with you on changing the name.

We fucked up in honoring Simkins, but I don't like the idea of covering up history, and history is clear that Simkins was instrumental in the development of the University of Texas....for better or worse.

Those that study our history need to know that.

You can't find many references to Christianity in Washington DC anymore along these same lines and in a couple of generations, I believe that school kids will never know how important religion was to the creation of this country.

I believe that Simkins should stand as a reminder of how fucked up things were once, and how we have grown from there.

"Watergating" our history doesn't do anyone any good.....plus.....if you want to hear about how Jester, Frank Erwin and Painter were on this issue, we would have to start naming our buildings after numbers or something else.

I understand your outrage, and share it, but I don't think that you bury it.

Let it symbolize what used to be prominent and let it symbolize how far we have come.


My take.

This kind of shit has been going on all over the country for years. Like changing the name of a school from George Washington Elementary to Harriet Tubman Elementary because Washington owned slaves. If we're only going to honor perfect people then UT needs take down that statue of MLK fast. Dude did cheat on his wife, ya know. And that LBJ Library thingy.........Johnson's political career was littered with stolen elections, political corruption and lies. Where does it end?

maybe this sounds a little stupid, but what if they took a student poll? ask the students for feedback. set up a website where students can voice their opinions and vote on whether to change the name or not. these are supposed to be some of the smartest young people in the great state of texas. why not find out what they think? i know most colleges are run more like a business than a place to actually specialize in a certain field, but these students are the paying customers. maybe they should have a say in the matter.

Nah, those fuckers would just name it after Vince Young.

that would certainly erase the current racist tag on the school

Buildings undergo name changes quite often. He's been honored long enough, it's possibly time for a name change. The football stadium was Texas War Memorial Stadium when I was there. Now it's got about 7 words in it's name.

I'm not outraged at all, I was just trying to tell the idiots who are arguing on TA with the "I know you are, but what am I" defense to STFU. The name change was just a suggestion to avoid all of the political BS. Personally, I couldn't give two shits about that dump of a building.

It is a dump.

I was a Castillian guy myself.

At least it is a shitty dorm.

ms. armykat30 lived at the castillion. that place was an epic shithole for something that costs so much. also, that little alley way behind the building was a fucking noise funnel for the 6 a.m. garbage truck. i think the guy driving that thing was doing everything in his power to wake up everyone in the building.

yeah, but I lived in it when it was new. (relatively, they had just re-modeled the 12th and 13th floors before my arrival, and I lived in 1207)

And I lived on the west side, so, all I had was the Phi Delt house and the late night fajita stand noise to worry about.

ya, she lived with the head RA or whatever they are called. they had one of the "nicer" rooms, and the RA thought she was doing my gf a favor. the unit had one, giant bedroom with a walk in closet, and the other bedroom was barely big enough for a desk and twin sized bed and a hole in the wall for a closet. they also had a "mini kitchen". in reality, it was a two burner stove, one of which didn't work, and full size fridge, which was nice, and a sink that had no hot water, and got clogged when you left the water on too long. absolute shithole. they were also doing some kind of construction to the east side of the building. i think they told us they were repainting the place with some kind of special paint that kind of acts like window tinting. whatever they were doing, it was not painting. hammers, in general, are not used whilst painting.

however, their room had one of the absolute best views of the tower, and i watched them light that bad boy up on several occasions. t-shirt fan or not, it was a fantastic sight seeing the orange glow after that 2008 ass whoopin' of mizzou

Really, the klanhorn shit is fucking gay. It's like something from junior high. No wonder I hardly post over there anymore.

The thread would die if your horn buds would just ignore it. Every time that 512 idjit posts on it it goes for another two pages.

I'm beginning to think 512 is somebody over here doing a reverse troll.

No fucking way somebody can keep that shit up for 20 fucking pages.

I estimated 10 pages, not a complete take over of the forum.

Wow.

I thought it be worn out by Tues, but 512 keeps throwing gass on it

But it's been a great offseason thread.

I'm starting to think it's Dwayne Hoover socked up.
