Damn close.

Dr. Gates,

It's been an honor to have you as the President of Texas A&M. The direction you have steered this great university is one that will lead us into many, many more years of greatness. I hope that should you choose to return after your service to our nation, your old desk chair has been kept warm for you.

God Bless & Give 'Em Hell!!!

Dr. Gates

Thanks for everything you have done for Texas A&M. Good luck, Godspeed, and Gig 'Em!

P.S. Could you possibly give a big "Thanks and Gig 'Em" everytime you sign-off from a press conference? I think that would be awesome!

By the way, one last request Mr. Secretary!

Is there any way you could schedule your first official press conference at 6:48 pm and open it up with "Well, it's 12 to 7, I think we can begin"?

If you do, I'll start constructing the statue myself.

This is the best thread ever and I'm happy to be finally included.

Dr. Gates,

You have lead with conviction and courage – thank you for making our great university even better. I wish you the best in Washington – Godspeed.

If you ever need a place to retreat, TexAgs and the Aggie community are here for you. We can provide plenty of encouragement and laughs.

Gig’em!

It was truly an honor to be able to say that I was at A&M while you were there and it is truly an honor to have your signature on that lovely piece of paper.

Thank you Dr. Gates.

I just cannot believe the Secretary of Defense, is not only an Aggie, but he listens to the common Aggies who didn't feel as though they had a voice where the Dallas game was concerned, this issue I really appreciate Dr. Gates because it shows you are not only our leader in title but a leader in action as you listened to the most common of contributors, thank you for everything and finally

12-7, PS I can't believe the Sec of Defense just called them "tu" that is freaking hilarious, they now are officially relegated, hahahah!!!!

Thanks Dr. Gates you have been a God send to our beloved university. I hope after you have completed your time you will consider once again rejoining us at Texas A&M be it President or as a professor. You will be missed.

God Bless and good luck. Please feel free to stop by to talk to some of your fellow Aggies anytime.

Thank you for allowing me to meet with you last semester about a possible career in the CIA. I will be starting at the Bush School next semester.

Remember to say Howdy!

Dr. Gates,

You are an amazing man. I never had a doubt in my mind that you were the best man for the job, as President of A&M and Secretary of Defense.

You will do amazing things in D.C. just as you did here in C.S. I cannot wait to hear about all you do on TV and the 5 o' clock news update on 1620 during my drive home from work.

Good luck.
Godspeed.
Thanks,
and Gig 'em.

Dr. Gates,

I was darn proud to be an Aggie on T+1.

But I am even prouder this week to have an Aggie and a man of your integrity serving our country.

Bear left when Mama called.

You, sir, left when your Country called.

Good luck, Gig 'em, and God Bless!

Thanks so much for your service to our school. Please come home to Aggieland when the nation no longer needs you. I think we hold a piece of your heart here in safe keeping.

Dr. Gates-

Thank you for your hard work at Texas A&M. Your time at theis university will not be forgotten. It makes me sad to see you go, but happy to know that a good man with character is the Secretary of Defense. Bring your integrity full force into Washington and do what's right for this country, not what politicians and media think is right for a good story.

It also provides a bright spot to my day knowing that you came on this board to learn what Aggies are thinking, but probably wouldn't say to your face. The fact that we have a voice and that our voice is heard is refreshing. You make me proud with what you have done for Texas A&M, and I know you will continue to make me proud in our nation's capitol.

Thanks and Gig 'em!

Gig 'em Dr. Gates, and it is unfortunate that I was only here for a semester with you as President.

Thanks Dr. Gates,

I believe that the DoD couldn't be in better hands during this critical time in our country's history.
