A photo of University of Texas at Austin students celebrating the Longhorns' come-from-behind victory over Ohio State University last weekend went viral on X—and for all the wrong reasons. Bo French, a Republican candidate for Texas railroad commissioner, chose to ignore those positive vibes (Texas was down 20 points in the final quarter, and won anyway), and instead commented on the racial makeup of the Longhorns' cheering section.
