I've already given up my season tix. But I would buy single game tix for every home game with an all walk on team of Aggies that wanted to play for and represent Texas A&M. And if we went 0-12, I would still enjoy every single minute, knowing that I was supporting and yelling for young men that were REAL AGGIES! Gig 'em!

Oh please strike. Please, I beg of you. I implore the scholarship players to take the season off and hang out with Sully screaming and writing new posters.

BECAUSE, I'd vote for a huge walkon try out. I would root for the walk-on players, the true 12th Man, with extreme enthusiasm and vigor. I'd pay top $$$ to watch walkons run out on Kyle Field. 0-12, I wouldn't care. I'd celebrate a first down.

Might be the best season in decades.

Realizing a football game is.....just a game.

I grew up going to Aggie games when we were terrible. Still the greatest games, ever.

It is just a game, but cutting off the nose to spite the face is some hilarious logic.

Yeah pops, I don't think the days of us getting **** on by Texas and the rest of the SWC were the "greatest games ever."

Why is it just now that he is making this stand. Is he being used by the woke mob.

This backwards. He's using the mob for relevancy.

Striking football players == much reduced chance at the NFL draft.

Not going to happen
Or...we could let the NFL fund its own development league and stop riding on the backs of taxpayers with teams' demands for publicly funded stadiums.

If clowns like this guy are who the leadership of TAMU is siding with , great. Glad to know it. See you later. I can't believe I wasted 45 minutes listening to him. Same old same old, we need racial quotas, blacks don't want to go to A&M, statue needs to come down, etc.


Go to the 24 minute mark and listen to him yell and lecture at white people. Unreal. I shudder to think if the races were switched here. If a white guy put out a video like this, Michael Young would be at the guy's house by dinner.

if this means i will never have to watch kellen mond attempt to play quarterback again then sign me up.

(and this opinion has zero to do with his latest social justice stuff and everything to do with how painful it is to watch him throw air balls all game long).

Oh, and it's not like going on strike stops the NCAA clock either. They can only "strike" until their eligibility runs out.

I probably have "watched" more Aggie games on the radio than I have seen in person at Kyle Field.
So yes I am old.

It's just a few people stirring it up and screaming. The majority of Aggies just doesn't support this. I love the tweets where they threaten Young and Sharp the best. The two girls leading the protests tweet so much I wonder if they do anything else.

I was wondering why a professional bass fisherman's opinions mattered.

turns out this other Roland Martin's opinions matter less to me

That's because you're focused on wins and losses, not integrity and what's great about A&M

You might recall that everyone was fine with the arrangement where old white men donate millions to provide top-notch facilities to the student-athletes. The old white men were not the ones that changed the equilibrium.

So far, has there ever been a list detailing how any of the protesters lives would be aided IF Sully was removed as they desire/demand. I would like to see at least a list of 1-5 ways their lives would benefit, or is 1-5 is too difficult, how about 1-3.

I also doubt more than 2 of the protesters, if that, even knew the statue was there prior to some BLM person got into their head and is laying out those flumsy speeches that Mond spoke to enlighten the rest of us. It was ptiful at best.


This is orchestrated and they are just looking for publicity even if negative publicity.

The statue stays right where it is and has been all these decades without damaging one individual

Gig'em!

I would take care not to use a broad brush concerning the football players. I'm only aware of 4 activists and one of those at least remained respectful in his discourse. I suspect there are a good number that aren't down with the cause and hope they don't have to commit one way or the other due to immense pressure. Of course, this is where dumbass Young's posturing, instead of leadership, is again disgraceful. With all his virtue signaling he's leaving a lot of top notch Aggies of color who want no part of this in the potential crosshairs of the woke crowd.

It is just a game. Which is why we don't need the players who will strike if Sully isn't removed.

There will be a jump in ticket sales and donations if the admin takes this stand.

We deserve players who want to play for A&M. The players need A&M more than A&M needs them.
It's time they learned what student-athlete means. They haven't played down as a salaried. professional in a union. They still have to play to be able to keep going to class and get the teams to notice them.

Fisher should hold a team meeting. At that meeting, he should ask who wants to play Aggie football and who does not.

Anyone that does not, off the team with no scholarship.

That way their will be no confusion and team unity will be preserved.
