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
).
