What a concept. He has an opinion. He can ball. Let the kid throw touchdowns for the school he supposedly hates. Get off the 21 year old

Sounds like you had 1 rotten apple and 2 bad apples ... And that's how they were charged. Being a getaway driver isn't being a good apple because you "didn't rob anyone." Aiding and abetting is a crime, not being somehow tainted by association. In your analogy the entire platoon would have had to be charged for rape.

Yeah I dont understand this at all. He says (coach) Jimbo Fisher's most prominent saying will always stick with him: 'Your ACTIONS speak so loud I can't hear what you're saying"

So we are suppose to look at this one small part of Sullys life and say nothing he did was of any value because he fought for the confederacy. Never mind that the viewpoint that the North was actively trying to change the way of life for the south and its way more then just a slavery issue.

An even so after it was all over he did great things for our university. But don't look at the great actions he did only the negative ones because it doesnt fit his narrative. Doesn't make any sense to me...

Except he can't 'ball'. He's a mediocre qb with a perennial deer in the headlights look at the line of scrimmage. He opened himself to any any criticism.

The kid can't ball. Wtf

Regarding the OP's thread title....QB1 isn't an Aggie. No way, no how. He might wear the jersey for the Maroon & White, but after tonight - no way he's an Aggie. And, I am using QB1's logic on how to define a person to define himself. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check QB1's video in Forum 16 thread about protest on A&M campus.

Cancel the season.

If not canceling = go 0-12

May I ask why you're able to have an opinion and he doesn't?
And what makes you think yours is more important then his?

---

He's able to have HIS Opinion, but he not able to have his OWN Facts!

Now beyond that, his conversations, while he may think are kool and he may think he's leading something, but ALL Athletes Need to be aware that their Publicly Stated Opinions have CONSEQUENCES.

You better have a big back up plan when you go the the Boss to Screw Off!

And that's kind of what he's done. Had he picked a time other than these tumultuously tense times, he might not have been viewed as another ingrate, entitled bandwagon follower.

You may never have heard the phrase "Follow the Money." Well, he doesn't just work for Jimbo, or the Athletic Department, he's a representative of the University, it's Students and the Former Students.

So let's see where does the $$ come from, (1) the students that pay fees, and (2) the Former Students / Donors.
------

Now beyond the obvious, he has lost focus on his Craft. Lost a hell of a lot of the Fans, and I wonder how's he's going to take the Negative Crowd noise when he does what we all know what's he's going to do?

I am more Aggie than Mond. My dad and all my family are Aggies. I was an Aggie in kindergarten, grade school, middle school, high school, college twice and ever since. No one kissed my ass to come to A&M and I didn't make a last minute decision to be an Aggie.

I will be an Aggie long after Mond leaves amazed that people like me think he is an ignorant racist black man!

Mond...Sul Ross is not your problem. Decide to be respectful no matter what people do and quit calling those that don't agree with you ignorant! Respect is earned not demanded!

The 21 year old Mond is holding Sully responsible for what he did when he was 22. So that would be a no.

And as I've been saying the last couple of years, he's nothing special on the field. I've hoped he would show something good, but it's just not there.

Why do so many of you think you are more of an Aggie than he is? That he can't possibly be right? Sul Ross did some great things in his life and was involved in some not so great things. Instead of trying to disprove everything just listen. He is our starting QB for this university and wants change and wants to be heard. Kellen is just expressing what countless of other former athletes and students have felt over the years. No body on this board has ever started at QB for the Aggies or even been a black student athlete. It's embarrassing to say you want him removed from the team when a majority of the players back what he is saying. Mond chose us and will likely go down as our all-time leading passer. I think he's more than earned the right to have an opinion that others might not agree with. Let's not be the university that can't adapt to change.

We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we
True to each other as Aggies can be.

Because football players don't give a damn about Aggie traditions, the culture we have here, or the history of the university. They are entitled *****s that think their feelings matter--they don't. These players are only here to play football for hundreds of thousands of fans that enjoy watching their team on Saturdays. If they want to piss of their fans with these stupid little protests and marches, so be it. it's on them.

I guarantee any of these players get called a ***** today, and they will call mommy crying expecting punishment for whomever hurt their precious feelings.

Sure, everyone is entitle to their own opinion.

The problem arises when one thinks his/her own opinion is the only thing that matters, and anyone who disagrees with him/her is a racist that doesn't deserve an opinion.

That's the problem I have with all this...only one side gets to have an opinion. and the other side is racist and oppressive--we aren't.

Kellen has been a model student athlete from day one. Voicing his opinions is a brave thing to do given his platform. While I agree with most of what he eschews, I understand the issue is complicated and potentially divisive.

As Aggies that support our university, sports teams, and the 1st Amendment, please be respectful to discourse that is in opposition to your views and opinions.

You first.

I haven't seen one person on your side be respectful to those they disagree with. and if you don't fit that description please pass it on to other like-minded individuals to listen to both sides.

This isn't a one-way street.

Let me answer the OP's question. No, Mond is not an Aggie in anything other than attendance. He is payed to play football and does that rather poorly. Would I consider him part of the Aggie "Family"? Nope, he has no common bond other than walking around campus. Is he a leader? Quit making jokes. Will he wear the ring? Yes, and it's a pity unless he throws it away. We can only hope. The kid had every opportunity and has blown it by his actions and words. Flame away, call me racist, could not care less.

I guess staff wants us to use Texans for racism's fights now...

Mond is and has been a great Aggie.

I feel I've been pretty respectful on my comments. Just so everyone understands all I wanted was to have us see it from both sides. You don't have to agree with everything and shouldn't honestly. Racism is a very hard topic for everyone. I myself don't understand the march yesterday and thought it was poorly executed. I still feel changes are going to come and just hope we can all work through our differences.

The reason why it made me uncomfortable is no fault of Sully or what he stood for which is why I for one don't support the removal of the statue but also don't deny the right for Kellen to ask for it. It is the reality that most current southern black Americans equate the confederate flag and all things Confederate with the racist actions of southerners during the civil rights movement and racist organizations like the KKK that prominently displayed it as a banner and not the fight for states rights etc that the original Confederates may have been fighting for. To address your concern as to my uncomfort it would be the same uncomfort that would be felt if the plaque read that he was a Nazi general that had done the exact same other good for the university.

That is a false equivalency and I'm tired of seeing it, Nazi's were not defending their homes, they were the the invading force. The vast majority of Southerners did not own slaves, they didn't sign up to prop up white supremacy or for the preservation of slavery. They fought because they were forced to in many cases and in many others they fought because their homes were being invaded

That is your truth because everyone gets hung up on the cause of the war, which I get, but until others see that blacks equate the two because of the unjust treatment of a people by both groups (not all individuals within those groups) they will never understand the comparison. Nor will they understand the perspective of those trying to further distance from those associated with both.

I think I'm starting to prefer Kellen Mond to an alarmingly large number of adults on TexAgs. If you have a problem what he or anyone else is doing, are you doing something about it or just griping from your ivory Internet tower?

He might be misguided, he might not, but he's out there speaking his mind, pounding the pavement, and trying to orchestrate a change he believes in. What are you doing besides labeling everyone who doesn't share your opinion as a liberal/Marxists/tradition-destroying enemy of the state?

Having A&M's students have different views of the world does't make them the enemy. They're the ones going to school there, on the campus right now. When you were on campus, whose opinion mattered more to you - your own or someone who had gone there 20 years ago? Did you feel you needed to change your behavior based on people donating money to the school?

How does the way you're reacting to him make you any better of a person?

There are some things bigger than Texas A&M. Maybe get off your smartphone for 48 hours and think about them.

Pounding the pavement? lol. Mond has done a lot of labeling of those who do not share his opinion (rather, don't share the opinion he has been fed by those who are pushing his agenda). Some of it using his smartphone.

Bro he is pro defunding the corps of cadets. Sorry, but many supporters would appreciate at least some dialogue if not a
complete apology. He is dead ass wrong. Makes me apathetic to even watch this team with this nonsense going on.

With the way things are progressing with the terrorist group BLM it's pretty safe to say Mond has taken his last snap at Kyle Field.

Dave -

We are not "just labeling people who we don't share the same view as Marxist", etc. Read the BLM website. It's kind of hard to label someone something when the very organization they promote state their beliefs.

We aren't as tired of Mond as we are tired of the warped narrative being spewed to move socialism, change values of the nuclear family values, etc. Mond is yet just the next voice of it.

Even other black people are getting "woke" to the leftist media pushing these agendas. It's just cloaked as "battling racism and police brutality".

We certainly seem to be considered by them as an enemy because we hold a different view.

And there comes a time to take a stand. We have compromised - one way - for too long.

If I can do anything to help him transfer Monday DUE TO HIS LACK OF ON THE FIELD SKILLS let me know because I want our team to win the SEC.

Problem is, Mond is talking plenty, but he's not listening at all.
The narrative isn't allowing for any two way streets of meaningful dialogue to resolve anything.

What's worse is I think he's now backed into a corner.
This started, got national attention, which I'm betting got him a ton of BLM activists in his ear pushing him even harder....to a point where even if he DID pause and listen to reason, there's no way in hell he could alter his stance for fear of backlash from the BLM agenda and being criticized as an Uncle Tom.
