In the written version of his interview, they changed Hyman's words referring to Aggies as "THEY" and changed the written version to "US".
IN WRITING:
"I was disappointed (that A&M didn't get a top eight seed) and I understand the passion that Aggies have, and rightfully so. That is what makes Texas A&M as successful as it is and what allows us to reach our potential. Other institutions do not have the percentage (of graduates who are passionate) like we do, so I respect the passion Aggies have."
IF YOU LISTEN:
"I was disappointed (that A&M didn't get a top eight seed) and I understand the passion that Aggies have, and rightfully so. That is what makes Texas A&M as successful as THEY ARE and what allows us to reach our potential. Other institutions do not have the percentage (of graduates who are passionate) like THEY do, so I respect the passion Aggies have."
THIS IS VERY REVEALING TO ME. HE HAS NO PERSONAL ASSOCIATION OR ATTACHMENT TO AGGIES. WE ARE "THEM", NOT "US".
