Retrospect on the BasketVols

[BanditVol]

The first time I posted 15-20% I said up front it was "anecdotal".  For those of you who didn't know, that's a fancy way of saying "out of my arse".  HTK, pick up a dictionary occasionally.  I didn't "back off" of anything.  I stated up front that those numbers had no credibility.

And Creek, I never said it was a "driving" factor, just one among many.

Having said that, no one had the balls to answer my question, so I will answer it myself.

"Yes, there are racists in the UT fanbase".  Hopefully the minority of that is much smaller than what I speculate above.

I do note that no one has gone on record and said there are NOT any.

Finally, let me note that a good deal of discussion above involves a comparison of Tyndall to Martin.  A point long since irrelevant (hint, hint...some of you need to let go already  ).

I would hope nobody on here would disagree with you about this. There are most definitely racists in the UT fanbase. There are in every fanbase, and it's hard to judge if UT has relatively more than others.

I know a number of UT fans that I'd call racist, some more subtle about it than others. I know 15-20% might be out of your ass but I'm not sure it's too far off. The question is whether that's a high number relative to other sports fanbases, and that's tough to say.
