Cancel Culture Back At It Again As UTSA’s President Attempts To Ban The Come and Take It Flag and Rally Cry

 After UTSA’s first win of the season, a huge win against a power 5 opponent that had just beaten Nebraska, you’d think the university would be all about getting fans and students involved. UTSA still has an incredibly young football team and has only played 11 seasons. The play in the Alamo Dome which seats far too many for it to be an effective stadium to build any type of home field advantage. A Conference USA team in a 70k stadium makes little sense. If the team starts slow, it sounds like a high school gym even when 20k show up.

The first few seasons have been about what could be expected. However, after only the school’s 2nd bowl game, the team started this year looking better and they played well enough to beat Illinois on Saturday in what was not a fluke. UTSA was simply the better football team.

But, the university president decided to take a dump on one of the only traditions that has had legs over the past few years. Come and Take It. The reasoning is that it’s been co-opted by fringe groups which is true. All these little wanna be militia nerds are using an old war/rally/minute man type shit they can. Losers. If we are gonna stop all fun/interaction with anything remotely historic, we will have to sit with our hands politely folded on our laps because everything fucking else in the world is also problematic. A frog. An ok hand gesture. Masks. Dewormers, Horse paste, whatever that is- and on and on and on. Everything is political so therefore logically, nothing is.

Some statement from the President ain’t gonna work this time though. Just like it never does. Wisconsin was told not to do this.

LSU was told not to play a certain song involving a certain body part but alas.

School administrators don’t determine what the fans do. The fans and students make the traditions and I bet my bottom this causes more flags to show up. Administrators should harbor and nurture that new found passion into something great— a fan base of loyal, lifelong Roadrunners who ride or die like some of the other programs around these parts. If you want these flags and this motto to stop, frankly 

Meep Meep and go Runners, baby.
