He hasn't been back much since graduation, eh?

50,000 undergrads and 20,000 grad students and not a gay person on the entire campus. Incredible.

Y'all F16 is further down the board.

This thread's about Dan Campbell...


There are maybe three or four posts about Dan Campbell. The rest is decidedly F16 crap.

Can we get clarification on the quote because I always thought it was something different? Of course, that was 25 years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.
That's pretty much exactly what he said. Word for word. And it's fine. He shouldn't have to answer for that 25 years later. Eddie Murphy is universally beloved today and he did a whole routine in Delirious that made what Dan Campbell said sound like it was straight out of the stale lily-white 50s.

Oh look, it's a helicopter parent coming in to right a perceived wrong from 25 years ago.

You shouldn't post that quote. In today's world, he would probably be crucified for saying that.

I'd guess 3-4% as an upper bound at A&M. Probably higher at t.u. which is known to be more accommodating to 2SLGBTQQIA+ identifying teenagers and young adults.

Congrats to Dan. He was one hell of a tough player and it's translated to his coaching style too.

And I'm glad he has an opinion and made a joke. This world needs more people like that. Not less. The irony is that he'd be applauded for telling some furry story and love winning. But talk about a traditional hetero setup (the reason we're all alive today) and all hell breaks loose. The only thing I'd criticize is ever apologizing to the woke mob.

That was years ago. Why do you want to drag this crap up when Dan is at the top of his game. I guess you want him fired!!!!!


Nope. Aint dragging nothing up, it's been out there , already been dealt with by the Detroit Press. It was just funny, ok? Lighten up.

The mods aren't taking the hint. Or they don't care. What I do know is this thread quit being about the brilliant Dan Campbell long ago and it is betrayal of trust.

THIS is supposed to be a safe place but this THREAD is Forum 16 trash. This thread hates my child - tells him that we don't need his kind roiting for our precious football team, a letter to him that he'd never belong at A&M. Finally, his father understands that participating in TexAgs is part of the same hypocrisy that made it so hard for him to come out to his own Dad so many years ago.

He already knew. He never even considered sullying the heterosexual purity of Texas A&M. This thread is why my wife of 31 years has never stepped foot in Kyle Field. None of my three children would ever consider being part of so hateful a culture.

Out of one side of your face yesterday, so many of you rightfully praised a child born into a similar world of hate 2000 years ago. Out of the other, you communally laugh in my son's face. He can't seed a child so his value to humanity is your little joke.

Fear not. I know this post ends my 18 year run on TexAgs. I know I've been part of the same hypocrisy.I won't see your Well Bye meme and your self defensive indignation. I made the same jokes back long before Dan Campbell used immature 22 year old indiscretion. I despise what I was...and what most of you have been in this thread.

I know also that this post will be removed before this thread is - because most of the mods think it's all a big joke too. I think you're all cowards. I wouldn't trade my gay son for the best of you. Ever.

Brandon, WatchOle, are you still around? I count you a friend. And you always treated me much more fairly than I've treated TexAgs. This isn't your heart even if you share these folks' politics. This thread is gay-bashing trash. Do what you will, my brother. In a different world, my last post will make a difference.

This is an Internet forum about football, not a "safe space". If you are upset that people here are not as enlightened as you, so be it. Perhaps you can use the time you formally spent posting ~2,000/year to develop your relationships with your family, which frankly seems like a more worthwhile use of time for all of us, regardless of the sexual preferences of our offspring. Best of luck.

Your wife has never stepped foot in Kyle Field and your 3 kids never considered going to A&M because of a thread that didn't exist until 3 days ago? Hyperbole much?

Though the specific passage you are referring (the adulterous woman in John to is one with footnotes in most conservative versions noting the provenance is inconsistent across early still extant manuscripts.

But there are many verses where Jesus reveals himself as Son of God by forgiving sin and performing miraculous healing that aren't of disputed provenance. And that passage itself is internally consistent hermeneutically with the other passages so isn't the quality of Apocryphal literature from intertestament or pseudo-gospels like pseudo-Matthew or Coptic "Gospel" of Thomas.

While it might seem like I'm straining nits to complain about your comment, I'm providing a meaningful context for agreeing with your sentiment. But it's a bit out of place on this board so I acknowledge staph might choose to moderate it.

I had a very gay TA in chem 111 in 1993 who rode a Harley.

You sure seem like an angry fella.

YEA, it was 25 years ago! Ill never understand why fools have to drag up the past when it is done and over with. Some people just have to dig it up and fester over it!! LEAVE IT THERE AND MOVE ON!!!!!!!!

So opinions are ok so long as they don't offend you? That's f'n weak.

Folks gave their opinion. You gave yours. That's how the world works. You are free to disagree with anyone's opinion and anyone is free to disagree with yours. That's also how the world works.

Wanting to silence an opinion you don't like or make it just go away? That's called fascism.

This. Screw them and live your life, make appropriate jokes if you want and watch old movies that would be canceled today.

So who were you taking to Aggie football games when you got free tickets from other posters by claiming to be a minister?

None of my business, of course, but since you're telling us about your life I couldn't help remembering that.


*also, I agree this thread is ridiculous and should've gotten eighty-sixed once it stopped being about DC's coaching career and turned to nonsense.
