PSA for the rest of the SEC: Graduates and former students of the University of Texas NEVER refer to themselves as "alums", "alumni", etc. We refer to ourselves as "Texas Exes", and that is indeed the name of our association for graduates and former students alike.

The reason that Texas, and many of the old SWC schools as well, use that or similar terminology is because so many of our students left school early in the beginnings of the oil industry to make their fortunes, and both the schools and their graduates thought it best to be inclusive of all those who bore a connection to the University. In modern times, this worked quite well with Michael Dell for one, who dropped out of UT as a freshman, while maintaining close ties to the Dean of the McCombs School of Business, George Kozmetzsky, in building his company.

Carry on with your Ranting, just be aware that when a supposed Texas fan posts here, if they call Texas graduates anything other than Ex's, they're probably not a real Texas fan or graduate.

As for myself, I am an alumnus of Auburn University, and a 2x Texas Ex.

I feel like most Texas fans have criticized Terry because of this, not praised him for defending the “horns down”.

Texas kind of had to hire him after making the Elite 8 run, but man, it does not look like he’s gonna stay there very long.

shite like this turns a 2-year coaching leash into no benefit of the doubt in the eyes of an AD.

Terry fricked up putting that product on the floor last night, but he only made things worse by "defending the honor of the precious Texas hand symbol"

Don't do horns up if you don't want horns down. Double standard no surprise in Gaytown, Tejas.

That’s a very accurate and succinct way of looking at it.

Flashing Horns up in peoples face is what created horns down.

Yea. I mean, Texas only played the SEC champion on their field and whooped their arse, but sure... I bet they're shaking in their boots to play mighty Texas A&M

You do realize the SEC is a step down competition wise in basketball right?

We will have to find a coach because Rodney Terry ain't it but we will be fine basketball is much easier to rebuild.

repeat after me...we, the fans, DON'T CARE. Do it all you want. Doesn't bother us at all..in fact we laugh at fans doing it when not even playing us...we love living rent free. Keep doing it.
I can't speak for the administration but Terry is just losing his grip on the program (I saws this coming the day he was hired) and is lashing out...it's a terrible look and fans are pissed about it.
