I'm jumping in very late on this one, but I felt the need to add my $0.02.

Dr. Gates, I am honored by the fact that your signature is on one of my diplomas from the greatest university in the world. You have truly embraced the Aggie Spirit, and we are so grateful for the contributions that you have made to the school we all hold so dear.

As you help guide our country in these troubled times, please know that you will be in my prayers.

Gig 'em and God Bless you, your family, and all who serve this country.

Ranger - Thanks for the info and the good word. Dr. Gates has been wonderful for our university and he should know that he does not stand alone.


My guess is that Staff has known since at least Spetember.

Also, in many of his posts, Gates has said "as long as Gates is Pres. at A&M..." How long has he known about the Secretary position do y'all think? Hopefully I'm not jeopardizing national security here...

We're all deeply honored and priviledged, Sir. Unfortunately for the next president of A&M you have set the bar pretty darn high! Fortunately, God blessed us through you and will again through someone else ( hopefully sooner than later ).

Va con Dios!, Dr. Gates.

I have so say that I'm so thankful and proud that my two diplomas from A&M bear your mark. Thank you for your tremindous support and the relationship you've had with the student body.

I've held off on posting, b/c first of all, I wasn't sure this was real. And, I figured my posts would just get lost the hundreds of others, but I thought...what the heck.

I knew this University was destined for great things when you were named president. When current Ags and former Ags start comparing you to Rudder, you know you've made a HUGE impact. When I first heard about your nomination, I was thrilled, proud, and sad all at the same time. Listening to the way you've talked about A&M these past weeks just reaffirmed everything I already thought of you. And now, knowing that you've even taken the time to throw in your 2 cents on Texags from time to time, I hold you in even higher esteem. Aside from the great things you've done in making this great university competitive with the best in the nation, you've shown all of us that you care about Aggies as people. And you don't just view this presidency as another job.

Thanks so much for all you've done! I was proud to have a former CIA Director sign my diploma, and now I can say the Secretary of Defense signed it! WHOOP!!! We'll all miss you, and your replacement has BIG shoes to fill.

Good luck, and give 'em hell!!!

And like someone else said...be sure to post a pic of the Aggie helmet in your new office.

Thank you Dr. Gates! If anyone ever questions your fan base, you can tell them that I paid $20,000 for your signature!

Good luck in Washington. Gig 'Em and wear maroon often...

Brandon,
I want to believe but you are going to have to come up with something with a lot more meat than what you stated above to convince me the current Sec. of Defense posted to this board.
I am currently LMAO at the suggestion.

The posts quoted could have come from anyone.

Guess it is that black helicopter spy thing that allows you to make us believe it is HIM.

Send a black helicopter over my house in Houston tomorrow at 2 pm, Saturday the 8th, and I will forever be beholden to your prognostications. How much easier can I make it for you? I will be on the couch listening for the coptor tomorrow.
