From Merriam Webster...
taint - present tense adverb. Louisiana, Deep East Texas, South of Beaumont vernacular typically used to show something "is not". (i.e. "It ain't").
In sentence: 1. "That there's the biggest hog we ever seen." In reply... "No taint"
2. "Coronavirus gonna stop you from going to see them Longhorns in the Fall" In reply... "No taint."

It's all just one big riddle. But if "anyone" can solve it it's hornsfans.

There is another definition.
Has something to do with the area between two body parts on a female.

Pretty ridiculous if the mayor of Austin or a county judge can decide if UT plays football.

It is about to get real interesting in the world of CFP when things start breaking between schools/programs/conferences/states/
counties/municipalities on this issue. According to JFs posted tweet from the NCAA there will be at least that one less entity involved in how things wash out. I'm guessing the case of UT/Texas/Austin/Big12 is shaking up to be one of the more interesting "battlefields" for the issue to play out.

Why can’t they play at a palatial HS stadium in Texas? Called stadium shopping. Good for recruiting for out of state schools. Normally not a fan of this, but would allow it this time.
 
A snipit from Inside Texas

“...it’s no different than a small business. You either let them earn, or the government needs to give them relief. Del Conte wants to get them back to work like anyone else running a business......with the money being spent on construction and the economy and energy sector where it is, you have to play this season to save future seasons.”​

Two months ago, I assumed people making this argument didn't know about COVID-19's astonishing rate of spread, how contagious it is, the high death rate, and so on. So I'd reply to something like this with facts and figures.

At this point, I assume people making this argument aren't the type of people who concern themselves with trifles like "facts" or "math" or what the "experts" have to say. So I don't bother.

I sure hope we play because I think we are going to be very successful as in at least 11-1. The d-line is going to be lights out tough. Secondary is experienced with future draft picks. Linebackers is our weak link in the chain but they are solid and experienced. Overall it's a very good defense better than most.
Offense should be better than last year's with apologies to Duvernay but with new comers -a healthy Whittington, Black and Robinson and a strong o-line with depth we will can and will control the clock and score points.
The unknown (almost) is the new coordinators. I feel good about both. I think the defense will be more about keeping the ball in front of you and controling your area.
Man I hope we play this season!
