If Texas A&M wins a championship and Mond grabs a Heisman that's it. I'm quitting my job. Moving to a discreet island,and never giving Aggie Football another chance to disappoint me again. I'll live out my life in peace.

E. Feel better about the team for not having any interest in meeting a buffoon president and eating trash fast food that he brought in.
Wasn't the fast food brought in because there was a govt shutdown preventing the White House from providing a proper meal?

I'll give you a simple answer to your question.
Mond's hully gully performance in the last three years will remain the same, so no NC!
Now do I care, not one damn bit!!!!

Good for you. Get back to me when sports is able to separate itself from politics.

Cashed in my season tickets. 45 of the last 50 years. 12th Man Donor since '77.
But, There are 3 scholarship athletes out of the 4 that IMO have NO Respect for Elders, Traditions, and are being led by some bad examples.
In spite of the fact that most will be gone after this season, it's about the LACK of LEADERSHIP from the Administration, FSA, Athletic department, among others which is apparent by their Dead Silence.
And then again we have another March this Sun. Besides the disrespect, Destroying State Property should they be directly involved should result in arrest, and charging being brought against them. I doubt they can maintain their scholarships if that's the case.
Besides whatever happens this year, assuming there is one, will be marked with the * anyway.

Reading these comments is soberly disappointing and disturbing as these are Aggies posting. Shameful!
Y'all are weak to put your values and beliefs behind and secondary to winning a championship that is accomplished with very little or no influence by you.
Guess what. Most football players wouldn't like you or even want to have a conversation with you. Yet you get on your knee and worship them like idols. Grown butt men idolizing and pandering to 19 yr old kids playing a children game who could care less about you. Athletes that would disrespect the flag and all it stands for to include lives lost by those defending our nation and our way of life.
You would sacrifice your values and beliefs for that.
Pathetically sad. Thank goodness there are better men in our country than you.

This is what happens when you let politics dominate your life.
It makes zero difference to me how people I will never meet feel about me. I watch sports to be entertained, just like movies and TV shows.
I don't agree politically with Jon Voight or Clint Eastwood, but I sure do enjoy watching them in movies!
It sounds like the problem some of folks on this thread have is that if somebody doesn't agree with them 100% politically it threatens them personally. If an athlete (or entertainer) makes a political statement you don't agree with, try this tactic: Ignore it!
If you can't separate entertainment from politics, that is on you and nobody else.

Your 1st & last paragraphs....oh the irony.
Somebody calls me a racist will not get my time, support or money.
Somebody calls the institution where I graduated ( twice ) a racist institution will not get my respect.
If those people making the accusations the people in the stands support these statements, the intellectual capacity of all involved is not deep or broad.
It's a B.
The group of individuals that take the field this year, assuming there is a season, will self destruct. They can't help themselves from pointing fingers.

If you aren't racist, it sure seems strange to get upset over somebody else calling out what they percieve as racism. Why does it strike such a chord with you?
Also, what these student-athletes do, or don't, say off the field will have no impact on their athletic performance. That comes across as some really weird wishful thinking on your part.
Can you show me where, and who, specifically attacked you? You made the claim, you present the evidence.

When a person(victim) is called names or physically attacked, it's the victim's choice as to how they want to react/respond, correct? Some will reciprocate and call names in return and others will physically fight back and some will ask "Why"? The choice belongs to the victim. You ask, "Why does it strike such a chord with you?", I didn't think I would have to explain this to you. It's my choice as to how I want to respond being called a racist. You can turn the other cheek or go eye for an eye. It's a personal decision and both have consequences. Someone calls me a racist,....I really don't want to give them support, time or money.
If you decide to venture out of the city limits of the county where you live, you'll find it's a big world. If you don't think the narrative put forth by QB1 and his teammates along with the rest of the mob has an impact on Texas A&M and it's alumni, you're sadly mistaken.
As for a student-athlete, what they do or say off the field, may have no impact on their athletic performance...maybe. Yet, these student-athlete's become the face of the University for which they represent and are being paid to do so, it's called a scholarship. An athletic scholarship is payment or a reward, provided by the university, in this case a "State" university, to a student-athlete, providing a no cost education in exchange for an athletic service, by definition - that is a payment. The student-athlete is basically an "employee" of the University, again in this case a "State" university, and is provided housing, meals, tutoring and medical care. Always remember, "State" university employee can be terminated for 1. refusing to obey a direct order and 2. moral turpitude. Therefore, yes, a student-athlete has a responsibility to the university they represent, especially a "State" university. In this case, there are several student-athletes (paid employees) that should have been dismissed/terminated for moral turpitude. There are quite a few "State" employees that have been terminated over the years on the grounds of moral turpitude that would be regarded as far less offensive acts then what the student-athletes demonstrated over the past weeks.
As for the athletic prowess of the current upper-classmen individuals, MNC caliber is not in this year's destiny. After a few of the individuals leave, there is more promise coming from the underclassmen. The underclassmen just have to wait for the annual purge of these self-destructive personalities.
