1. If you are not growing/expanding - you are dying. It's true.
What a great attitude towards running a business. Higher Ed is not and should not be run like a business.

2. We are a PUBLIC university- spare me the "Rice U" attitude. BTW, my daughter went to Rice, so I have seen this crap before. Get off your horse!
Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, and UVA are also public. And wanting a quality education is not riding a high horse, and that's a perfect example of what's wrong with our attitude towards the whole issue.

3. Who cares what Bevo U is doing!!! It's about us and Aggieland!
Well since we compete with them for good students, faculty, resources, funding, and jobs in Texas and around the world, we should absolutely be concerned with what they are doing. You know who doesn't care about what their competition is doing? Failures and those that sell cheap, low quality goods. As someone who seems to have some business sense, this is a surprising sentiment.

4. Sharp is a good man, we are in good hands.
Sharp personifies the old Ag mentality. The younger generation, however, knows what 50% unemployment for new grads looks like. Pumping more kids through the system is not the answer.

5. Can somebody get this back to football, dangit!
-GIG'EM!!!
I would love to. What do you think our record will be this year?
