Back in 1988, I believe, Bill Curry was coaching at Alabama and was struggling. After a loss, a "fan" threw a brick through the window of his office. Most people assumed it was a disgruntled Alabama supporter (they are crazy - they posion trees you know) and Bill rode a wave of sympathetic news coverage for two more years. Lots of well connected people in Tuscaloosa are suspicious of the story. There is some speculation the brick may have been thrown to get sympathy for Bill.

If someone legitimately sent Sumlin that letter, then shame on them. And if they are an Aggie fan, they should be banned from campus for life.

I did find it ironic that his wife was concerned that a kid might have opened the letter, yet she posts it on the internet where kids will be sure to see if.

We live in an unsettled time, and it's unfortunate that race is a factor in any decision.

cut bait immediately...

Note looks hardly even folded... if folded in half would it even fit that envelope?

Agree. posting it was the worst thing possible.

Hmmmm, looks like bottom half wouldn't fit

Surely a postal inspector could get to the bottom of this ... or the folks on Old Rivalries

I have no idea what I just read, he went to A&M correct? I guess he didn't take English

Oh and Sumlin isn't going to win

---

Looks like you also didn't take English at A&M.

---

Nope, Blinn haha

Can someone with some knowledge tell me why there's no postmark on this envelope?

Also - While I wholeheartedly believe it was very wrong for someone to send this awful message to his house, I think Sumlin's wife should have thought twice about posting this for the world to see......

Still a terrible coach if he wins games this year

Oh man! Haven't people figured out you can't get away with faking stuff like this. This will not reflect well on someone in the end.

Touche.

How do we know this is legit? Could be fabricated to generate all the support people are showing.... then if he were to get fired it would make the BOR look like they support the letter writer... Fishy

"if Sumlin is let go"?

We are waaayyyyy beyond "if" and into the "when" stage.

I tried to put it through an online decoder for tracking but it looks to be a few digits short. One could be because of the fold. Maybe someone else can figure it out. It would show the first post office through to the last post office.

I'd put the odds of this being from an Aggie fan at like 5%

it's just too on the nose

Smudges of ink on that letter lead me to believe it was written by someone left handed.

Dudes an Idiot. For one no one knows if that is real, no one knows if it was an Aggie and there are racist people everywhere in the USA, hell its the worst it's been in a long time and it's a bunch of people from every race

So does this mean Sul Ross is coming down tomorrow now?

Who would Send a letter like that and put a return address. That's not an Aggie. Plus it's a woman's handwriting. Are there that many Aggie women pissed off at our sucky team. My wife hopes we keep losing so I'll stop wasting my time watching the games.

That's wishful thinking, but it's mostly likely one of the loser posters on Texags.

ARe you trying to imply that women can't be racist?

Disgusting if this is indeed from an Aggie fan, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to this story than a disgruntled letter from a fan. I just don't buy it.

Absolutely bull **** if some Aggie sent this.

It must have fingerprints and possible DNA if he licked he/she licked the envelope

Indeed. Get the Texas Rangers in on this, now. It was a threat. Find the person who wrote it and put them in jail.

Then there was this in the comments on FB. God love bama fans. LOL



Imgur is an *******.

You sure they mailed it? I thought the post office cancelled stamps when they processed letters??

But it does have the bar coding at the bottom

When sip recruiting writers are telling you to keep your coach you know it's time to move on.

Just like Remember the Titans! Except the alternative ending where we don't win **** and the coach gets ****canned.

like it or not

this is A&M's #1 pressure point

My bet is that professor curry the race baiter sent the letter. Stoke the flames of racial injustice just like the false racial claims Mizzu dealt with

Just for sh**s and giggles, this is what a mailed letter looks like.

"Earlier this evening, we became aware of a letter of unknown origin that was sent to the Sumlin family home. We unequivocally condemn this disgusting and threatening letter. There is no excuse for hatred and, as a community, we will not allow the ignorance of some to intimidate any member of our community. On behalf of all Aggies, our thoughts are with Coach Sumlin and his family, and we will do all that we can to ensure their safety. We are working with law enforcement authorities to bring the sender of this letter to justice. We stand with the Sumlins and will not accept this inexcusable act of hate."
