Taking a quick break from governance, policy, and politics, yesterday we asked readers which of Texas’ collegiate football teams they were supporting.

Here is a sampling of the comments we received from our readers after they voted in the survey.
“I will be rooting for Texas Tech. It is a family alma mater, but more importantly, they are probably the least woke on the list.” – Susan Valliant
“While I root for all Texas teams when they play against outside colleges, I wholeheartedly root for Tarleton State University. GO TEXANS!” – Rob Martinez
“Normally, I would vote for Texas A&M, but not anymore. Too woke! So, don’t care is my response.” – Laura Morton
“Have better things to do than watch overpaid adults acting like children.” – Howard Benham
“I’ll always love the Aggies. Hurts to see the efforts being made to make them woke.” – Linda Edmondson
“Most colleges put more effort and money into sports than they do education (brainwashing).” – Donald Vandewerker
“We will be at the season opener of the perennially ignored Texas State Bobcats. Eat ‘em up!” – Elissa Harrell
“By ‘Other Team,’ I have no doubt you are referring to the University of North Texas.” – Steve Sullivan
“Don’t forget our UTSA Roadrunners! Birds up!” – Mark Juelg
“Oh, to return to the heydays of the Southwest Conference!” – Arthur Potter
“Why would I care? Our colleges are cesspools of woke doctrine, teaching our kids this crazy ideology that they never learned at home. Spend the money on God-fearing professors to bring our society back into proper alignment instead of football stadiums!” – Nina Kruzan
“Too much emphasis is placed on sports in this country. I know people who cannot carry on a conversation if it is not about a sports team. Who cares how many home runs Babe Ruth hit in his career? Yet they can’t tell you who the Speaker of the House is currently. I think this is intentional to get people’s minds on unimportant things so they won’t notice what the politicians are doing to us.” – Reed Vestal
“Personally, I’m not a huge fan of football – I’d rather watch rodeo or baseball, or preferably, go shoot a USPSA, IDPA, or 3-Gun match. Regardless of the chosen sport, I encourage all of the young men and women to pick a sport and compete! The discipline in training for a game or match, the ability to work as part of a team, and the camaraderie of the sport are valuable experiences that everyone should partake in!” – Monte Long
“Unfortunately, politics has, in my view, invaded football and taken away the fun.” –Roger Taylor
“I have always been a fan of A&M football, not of the administration’s woke political activism.” – Howard Klutts
“I did not go to college, but I always loved watching Aggie football. I watched religiously for decades. That all changed when the university began the DEI crap. I haven’t watched sports in years, they’ve all been ruined. UFC is the only one that I will watch.” – Brooke Walsh
