Wow, this is incredible! I must admit I didn't believe the post on the GB at first.

Although I did not have the pleasure of being a student under your presidency, I have enjoyed working at this University with you at the helm. You have done more for current and future students, and, possibly even more so for former students, than any of us probably realize at this point. My one regret is not getting another degree just so that I could shake your hand on that stage.

Aggieland awaits you whenever you'd like to come back home for a visit.

Dr. Gates,

You did an amazing job at Texas A&M and you will be missed. It was a pleasure seeing the policies you crafted and the actions you took while I worked at The Association for the past 3 1/2 years. A lot of things changed, but they were all for the better, and it takes a lot for someone to accomplish that.

I'll miss hearing you speak on campus. I always left the room knowing what was on the horizon for A&M, and it always excited me.

Good luck in Washington, you'll do great!

After reading all 20 of "ranger65" previous posts, I dont believe it's him for one second.

In one thread he tell's someone to "get a life" and in another he cusses at someone, and it's edited out.

If it is him, my opinion of him just went down.

I'm not saying that I've never talked that way to someone on here, I just dont believe the President of A&M would get on texags and talk to other people like that.

P.S. - If it is you Gates, please dont have my family killed.

Thank for the service that you have done and that you have yet to do.

I only regret that you could not have been the President of Texas A&M University in more peaceful times so that you could have stayed longer, but I know you go to serve our country well in a time of need.

Good luck, God Bless, and Gig 'em!

Thank you Dr. Gates,

I wish I could shake your hand next May for my 2nd Aggie degree, but I am proud to say we got an Aggie running our military, and good one at that. God Bless you, and thank you.

Thanks for what you did for the Ags.

But thank you even more for what you will do for our boys and girls in uniform and for our nation at a difficult time.

Come back when you can.

The Aggies love you. We always can tell when someone has taken A&M into their heart.

Or was just working a job.

I will say you never did that, sir.

You are genuine in a world that praises artificiality. At the level of public scrutiny and publicity that you must work, that is a rare and beautiful trait.

I hope you come back to Aggieland.

We'd love to have you helm this ship again.

Just keep Bonfire burning in your heart.

Gig'em.

And God bless.

It's already been confirmed by WatchOle and Ranger65 himself on page 2 by answering personal questions about Gates.

My opinion went up of him from his comments. Shows he's not afraid to speak his mind which is what we need in DC. Too many bobbleheads and parrots as it is.

RR we've done this already, we wouldn't be 20 pages and going if it wasn't him, i think that tough SOB was perfect for us and the direction we should be going, just because a man assumes the title of President or Secretary doesn't mean he stops becoming a man, if he forgets his humanity when assuming a position than that sucks for the rest of us because it shows he won't listen to us, by our influence, "the Pulse," of the spirit of Aggieland he has kept the game from dallas and other things as well, it shows intelligence

Glad to see there is still some content of value on TexAgs.

I am quite impressed with the job you've done as President, and while disappointed that you must leave now, I understand why it is necessary that you do so. Thanks for your service to us, and for your continued service to our nation. As our university has prospered and set our sights high for the future during your tenure, I hope you can have similar effect for our nation, despite the far greater challenges ahead of you. Best wishes in Washington, and wherever your career and travels take you. You will be missed.

Dr. Gates thank you for all that you have done for this university. You have kept your focus on the things that make this university great while having the determination to make it even better. You may not have graduated from here but you will always be an Aggie to me. I look forward to shaking your had and receiving my diploma from your next Friday.
