Apparently he has missed plenty of practices this yr, no bs. Not just the one that he pressured the team into quitting so they could go March like brainwashed idiots.
Jimbo should do the right thing, boot him and Ausbon off the team to send a message that the inmates can't run the asylum. Would help to get some younger guys experience and prep for the future anyways. Mond may have claimed to be the best QB in the SEC (better than Joe Burrow lol!) but we know all he's average at best. And that's before you take into account what a distraction and source of division he has become.
Do you know what's going on with Ausbon?
No, I can only assume and try to connect the dots there. But I did hear some pretty troubling locker room stuff from friends with kid on the team a while back. Cant share too much detail, but I'll just say that I'm not expecting better than 4th in the SEC West this year.
On a positive note, there's a solid contingent of the team who seems to have made it clear to their "team leaders" that they came here to play football and go on to the NFL rather than protest.
I can't imagine living in the greatest country in the history of the world, having the rare opportunity to be the most pivotal player on a football team with championship aspirations, and spending all of your time playing the victim of a different era.DTP02 said:
He's just ignorant. He thinks that incredibly biased list of points is the truth because he's been misled by A&M professors and other students who've been misled by A&M professors.
The problem is with the university who employs professors who aren't willing or capable of communicating objective truth and a comprehensive viewpoint to their students.
Ausbon said don't cheer for them at a protest because we didn't agree with them.BT1395 said:NICU Dad said:Roll Tide.Ag for Life said:Alabama is game #2, so you won't have to wait long.giddings_ag_06 said:
First time he has a bad game, I'm going to blame it on not being focused on football. He's not making a positive impact in society with these tweets in my opinion. Football season is losing it's shine for me and I'm getting more excited for hunting season (and I haven't seen a single animal worth taking this year).
Never.
He has direct ancestors who worked with LSR, served in the confederacy, and have schools in Texas named after them.96AgGrad said:I can't imagine living in the greatest country in the history of the world, having the rare opportunity to be the most pivotal player on a football team with championship aspirations, and spending all of your time playing the victim of a different era.DTP02 said:

Ignorant doesn't begin to describe it.
In a normal world this is correct ... the give and take of ideas is a good thing. Unfortunately, we are in a Bizarro America where dissent from a particular party line is punished by the cancel culture. Mond and the others supporting the removal of Sully aren't interested in dialog ... disagreement with them brings the racist label and the attempted destruction of livelihoods. Debate is not allowed as it challenges the sacred party ideals.Fightin TX Aggie said:
You know what's on that placard? Words and ideas.
You know how to defeat bad words and ideas? With better ones.
I have no problem debating Sully on the battlefield of facts and ideas. So, this sort of thing doesn't make me mad at all. We need more of it. Because in the absence of real debate, people do dumb stuff like tear down statues.
We've already seen on F16 just how easily the nonsense on that placard is shot down. Why doesn't someone make a competing placard to sit next to that one?? Hell, I bet most of the text has already been written. Cut / paste / print.

You assume that they are seeking truth. I don't believe that is the case. They like the power and attention that comes with playing the victim and chastising others.

What is better? To just trash someone? Or to lay out the facts for that person (and others) to see?
You may never convince Kellen, but you will never convince anyone if you don't make an argument.

That would be great information to put on a sandwich board out in front of Sully.nortex97 said:He has direct ancestors who worked with LSR, served in the confederacy, and have schools in Texas named after them.96AgGrad said:I can't imagine living in the greatest country in the history of the world, having the rare opportunity to be the most pivotal player on a football team with championship aspirations, and spending all of your time playing the victim of a different era.DTP02 said:

I don't think I can take his rants about Sully too seriously until he addresses this.
So...Don't be mad Kellen.Quote:

You guys are all racists and have this completely wrong and history will judge you for it. This is 2020. Kellen is right, we simply cannot have, allow and tolerate separate white and colored drinking fountains in the MSC...... I would have thought that would have been addressed during the renovation a few years ago.

If the 'more discussion' would be in the form of an adult exchange of ideas and facts between reasonable mature parties; then it could be productive. But, unfortunately people that act like Mond appears to be acting are more interested in making trivial sound bites and winning an insult war than actually discussing complex criteria.
.. and the noise and the standing at games (even during crappy Mond performances) all are holdovers from racist Corps traditions. Ags need to appease Mond with quite atmosphere and be like sips and boo hell out of him for every mistake he makesBT1395 said:
Football team used to be segregated too. I wonder how he is managing to overcome that moral and ethical hurdle every day when he puts on that jersey (and accepts the scholarship, the stipend, the tutoring, the gear, the food, etc...).
Or maybe this is selective cancelling?
Maybe.
