Former Texas Longhorns Tackle, Buck Burnette, may still be reeling after a comment he made shortly after African American President-Elect, Barack Obama, made history on a Tuesday night in early November.

“all the hunters gather up, we have a &%#@er in the white house”

Burnette alleges that the comment that appeared in his Facebook newsfeed, seen by all his friends and acquaintances, was a message sent to him by a buddy that he merely re-posted online.  He said this in the middle of an apology.

I don’t know about you but anytime I make an apology where I am justifying the action at the same time is typically not something I am sorry for.

Texas rightfully booted the little whippersnapper immediately.  This was two months ago.  No clue how the rest of the young man’s semester went but he is likely to feel the sting of his dire mistake again on the night of January 5th when the Texas Longhorns play The Ohio State Buckeyes in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl…without him.
