We NEVER consider UT in our planning for our kids college.

Austin sucks. It’s where liberal’s, panhandlers, Homo’s and treehuggers thrive. Your basic cesspool where all of the turds go when flushed in Texas..

Any school official who is offended by this should be fired for being so ingrained with political correctness that they have become unable to think rationally.

Toga is always a good choice, since the Romans aren’t still around to bitch.

I didn’t see any accusations of illegal activity in what was posted above.

Went to UT. Went to Baylor. Proud of going to Baylor. Hated UT and the damned orange and purple haired dykes. But the Baylor Beauties! Whew!

Actually, I’m pleasantly surprised that there are at least some UT students who have the sense of humor and cajones to pull this off, considering the suffocating liberal indoctrination they swim in on a daily basis.

It would be VERY INTERESTING if the new sheriffs in Austin (i.e., new governor and new Lt. gov, especially) threaten to withhold some spending for antics like this at the schools that THEY FUND.
