Guys...I cannot tell you how sorry I am for putting my foot in my mouth the way I did this morning on 790 AM in Houston. I clearly spoke before I thought and said something that I would give anything to take back. I pride myself on doing my research and coming with accurate assessments regarding Texas A&M and Aggie Sports. But in this case, I made a comment out of the blue and based off of shear hearsay.
I hope that you guys can find it in your hearts to forgive me for being a complete idiot and for saying something without thinking.
I need you guys to also know that I brought up Bonfire right off the bat because I wanted to make that a big part of today's segment. I spoke for more than five minutes about my Bonfire experience and how affected I was by the fall. I talked about where I was when it fell and how special of a tradition it truly is. Most of the segment centered around how great Bonfire is and how important it is and was for the Aggie family and Aggie Spirit in general. I talked about the 12 who lost their lives on that day and how we should remember them and the families.
At the end of the conversation about Bonfire, I mentioned that I hope it returns to campus. I said that it might take several more years but that I could see it coming back before long. Then at the end, I made a comment that I will regret forever. I said that there is already an off-campus Bonfire and I did make a comment about it being more of a party and involved alcohol.
BOY, WAS I OFF-BASE!
I hope that you guys will accept my apology. I am a natural people pleaser and here I go upsetting each and every Aggie out there. I would do anything...ANYTHING...to take it all back. I feel so bad about this and I hope that you will sense my contrition and forgive me for the baseless and downright stupid comments.
My heart said to come on the show and make it about Bonfire. And in my idiocy, I found a way to screw it all up.
Again...I'm very, very sorry for my actions!
I really miss Bonfire! It played a huge role in my decision to be an Aggie and I hope that it makes a return to campus in the future! It’s one of the greatest traditions out there and one for which I have a great passion!
Sincerely,
