Return of Longhorn Band uncertain amid ‘The Eyes of Texas’ controversy

Following two weeks of controversy after Texas Longhorns senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger sang “The Eyes of Texas” alone in the Cotton Bowl in the aftermath of the four-overtime loss to the Oklahoma Sooners, the administration made clear to players that they are expected to remain on the field with teammates for the alma mater.

So the post-game scene at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday against Baylor should look more familiar to fans.

It will not, however, include the Longhorn Band playing the song for the first time this season.
