    I don't know if they should be made to sing.
    But they certainly should be made to stay on the field after the game and with the hookem horns up, showing team solidarity.
    And I disagree with telling future recruits that they have to sing or go somewhere else. I am kinda hoping that players will eventually change their minds and will sing because they want to.

    100% - He created this us vs. the fans mentality. He's been saying it for years.

    And this is what I don’t understand. The fans were very supportive of him. He got a contract extension, undeservedly in my opinion, and while there was some griping after last year, 5 losses in year 3 was very poor.

    Then the off-season insults out of the blue. At this point, incant stand him and hopes he’s given the boot soon.

    Id tell the players they have the power to own the song and make it theirs. Change whatever perception you think it has had.

    Agreed. This has been a learning experience. But what the "The Eyes" meant to those who used it in racist shows and its racist origin has no baring or connection decades later to The University in 2020.
    As a freshmen in '98, "The Eyes" meant I had to perform to a standard in honor of my family who supported me and a standard befitting as a student at the flagship University of our great state!

    Lol get some humor I was joking. The fact some of you are still salty about the song is ridiculous. At this point if you still have a problem then get over it because that's as good as it's going to get. Your talking out the side of your a!@ because you have no idea what I am or which way I go. Politics have absolutely nothing to do with anything but you just had to get that out your system didn't you?

    Lol yes I am. I take nothing & nobody in here serious whatsoever. It's actually pretty funny to see people get so hyped up over small things. All I care about is winning so if it does not pertain to that then it's not a big deal to me. As long as we are winning then I am perfectly content.

    WorsterMan SEC here we come!!

    So, we are "salty", "ridiculous", "hyped up"?

    You want to joke about the EYES and some of our serious concerns and discussions about the song and how it has been handled?

    To your statement, no, we dont know you and dont care to.

    So friend, take your fun "LOL" troll BS drivel to some social media platforms with other feel good posters and joke there.

    That's not happening so get over it. You don't need to know me because the door works both ways. Lol I for sure don't care to know you. Your "genuine" concerns are not real concerns because they have nothing to do with the team. As many players have said the "eyes" is not an issue or concern in the program. The only people who care are the fans. You all may think it's a big problem but the players are fine and got a win so I'm happy. Everything else can kick rocks

    Absolutely!! As long as the team wins then every other problem becomes non existent. Winning is the key to happiness and as long as the players are happy then their should be no problems.

    Well they stayed and they sang today. Today, the fans weren’t victimized. But let us never forget. We should start a museum to serve as a reminder for generations to come, of the horrors we endured. We shall overcome. Maybe we can commission a statue of some boomers weeping or something. A plaque explaining about how our feelers were hurt when the coach did not expel players for not singing our favorite song but the coach had 13 days to compel them to sing it and when they did self destruction was averted. When they make the movie Kevin Costner will play Tom herman.

    If you're an NFL fan, that mentality makes perfect sense to me. But a big part of what distinguishes college football from the NFL is its crazy, wonderful, idiosyncratic (and sometimes sacred) traditions. If those things have no meaning to you, why bother being a college football fan at all when the NFL offers a higher level of play?

    Oh no, we need a much bigger douche to play Tom Herman in the movie. I'm thinking Charlie Sheen...

    This is exactly why I think we’re making way too big a deal of all this.
