It is an interesting dilemma that the Longhorns have. It is so discombobulating that the author of the story thinks that Texas beat OU a couple of weeks ago. They didn’t. OU won 53-48 in four overtimes.
I feel for Sam Ehlinger. Being one man standing against the peer pressure of his team and his school. The kid is a winner. He is the only QB from Texas to beat OU in the last four years; and at the same time, he is the only Texas QB to ever lose to four different OU QBs - Mayfield, Murray, Hurts, and Rattler.
This controversy reminds me of a Barry Switzer story about why OU got the recruiting advantage over Texas when Darrell Royal was the Horn’s Head Coach. In short (I can elaborate if asked) it was because of the perceived racism on campus in Austin.
I appreciate the stand that Ehlinger has, and is, making. He is his own man. I hope the best for him.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn —
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
Til Gabriel blows his horn.
How soon before they turn the Alamo into a memorial to the Mexican patriots slaughtered by the racist Texans who unlawfully occupied Mexican territory? /s
