Bevo’s Daily Roundup: Former Texas LB Brian Jones wades into ‘The Eyes’ controversy

Former Texas Longhorns linebacker and All-Southwest honoree Brian Jones weighed in on the “The Eyes of Texas” controversy in a recent column with the Houston Chronicle.

He suggest not just the players, but coaches, fans, everyone, kneel to the song.

From the Chronicle: “To mark the moment of the song’s transformation from school song to anthem of accountability, I hope the team will not only sing along with their “Hook ’em Horns” hand sign, but do so kneeling, signaling not submission but instead taking a reverential pose to convey their embrace of the solemnity of the moment.
