I also don't get Duke's obsession over Matthew Gaines. Gaines was member of the legislature when A&M was created, and he was supposed to be an advocate for education, and for Texas A&M.

Okay, great. He appears to be an honorable and intelligent man.

However, I have looked, and never found, any information on why he deserves a statue on the A&M campus, over any other member of the Legislature at that time. If anyone can point out to me the things he did for A&M, I'd love to read about them. All I can find is that he was one of many in a legislature that voted in favor.

My suspicion is that some groups want to have a statue of a black man for their own political purposes, and his was as close of a connection as they could find.

You want to honor someone, there were generations of cooks, janitors, and groundskeepers serving A&M at a time when their own kids weren't allowed to attend. That's selfless service, and one of our Core Values, I believe.
I can remember the College Republicans wanting a statue of Gaines put on A&M's campus as far back as 1995.

"He was a freedman who was instrumental in the founding of A&M" was the reason I was told they were in favor of it.

I doubt the CRs wanted "a statue of a black man for their own political purposes", so let's kill that conspiracy theory before it even begins.

Hhmm, Ol' Randy's research skills have failed him. He doesn't believe tbird is a Black man.

Quote:

The guy represents himself to be a person of color and doesn't find anything biased in a culture where the statue of Sul Ross can't be touched, but the proposed statue of Matthew Gaines gets shouted down every time it comes up. And he doesn't believe any of ****'s history or turditions should be repudiated. Instead, he wants to talk about whether I think their "12th Man" fairy tale is a racist fairy tale.
I could have sworn Randy had been posting on tigerdroppings. tbird is well-known in those parts and has often posted pics of himself, his lovely wife and his new son.
Randy's gonna have to get over himself. tbird's been Black pretty much his entire life.

I got one of those, and some of their posters talked about how crappy it was that a "reasonable ****" who talked sense and was real should be banned, and how badly it reflected on the site.

Of course, most of them went slasher on my posts.

They are over $300 million in debt; relative to revenue, their debt service is the highest in D1 and three times that of UT Austin or Ohio State; last I heard their "top facilities" for football were having trouble managing to achieve functioning toilets and their outdoor track facility was too small to host the state high school meet; and UT Austin will probably top their revenue for the 2016-2017 year by over $70 million; their $75 million head coach is still struggling to find people wanting to round out his staff (we are within a month of signing day and Fisher still doesn't have a defensive coordinator).

Cal-Berkeley says 'hello'. you ignoramus.

The ironic thing about Satterfield screaming about debt service is the whole reason texas couldn't go to another conference during the last round of realignment in 2011 was ultimately because of their debt service. texas' athletic department desperately needed the extra $7 million a year they were receiving from ESPN to help pay down their debt service on facilities upgrades that they made in 1998 (but were never budgeted for). texas had debt service of over $250 million, and that was back in 2005. texas' debt service was $218 million in 2016, scheduled to be paid off by 2044. texas pays $25.7 million in debt service and facility rental payments annually, and we haven't even added on the costs of the new basketball arena or tennis facilities or any other football facility renovations or expansions (figure another $300-$400 million for those facility improvements).

Do we even need to get into the fact that texas spends $5 million MORE than Ohio State and $13 million MORE than Michigan, despite the fact that texas fields only 18 varsity teams, while the Buckeyes field 37 teams, and the Wolverines field 30 teams? texas athletics is a walking monument to financial irresponsibility and inefficiency, yet Satterfield points the finger at others. It is ****ing laughable.

The numbers showing UT Athletics makes more money and spends more money than Ohio State are highly suspect. Our friend Steve Patterson went wild with prices increases and spending cuts when he saw the real numbers. I saw somewhere where UT includes concert and event revenue from the Erwin Center in the Athletic Department P&L. That is one way to gross up the P&L sheet. If you go a concert at the Erwin Center for a show, you purchase your tickets from the Athletic Department instead of Ticketmaster. Also the contact to book the Center is in the Athletic Department.

There is no way that Ohio State is spending less than Texas on Athletics. Especially since Ohio State has Men's volleyball, soccer, wrestling, plus Men's and Women's gymnastics, hockey and lacrosse. "Randy" and his lackeys should worry about where UT will build their new basketball arena and how they will pay for it. For some strange reason the City of Austin has not shown any interest in using a hotel tax or a rental car to help pay for it. I can't imagine why Austin said no. Couldn't be that UT "has more money than the Vatican" or that UT wanted to close down Lions Muny Golf Course.

For being so supposedly fabulously wealthy, they sure come off as being a bunch of dumb rednecks.

This is fairly amazing.

You'll fare much better over there being openly racist, posting racist caricatures, and calling a black man an Uncle Tom than you will having attended TAMU.

He drops n-bombs, calls him a despicable racist name, and it's tbird that gets banned?

It just sounds so stupid when you say it out loud.
Some of the posters still don't believe that was a an actual pic of tbird and Quattro. (Nickname for his son because he is the fourth generation male to have the same name. tbird is the III. For those who might be confused.)

There is also a decidedly anti-military bent on the shag. tbird checked a lot of boxes. Black, Aggie, Conservative, military. The "Superfecta of the Shag".
And let's add "educated and articulate" to the quadrifecta.

Very sorry for your loss. Always gives me extra pause when you post about him since I was born in '88.
Appreciate that. Tim was a special man. He was loved by everyone he ever met. Just a pure heart and the most romantic man I have ever met in my life. He called me his "yellow rose" (not in the hooker sense at San Jacinto but in the I was a Texas gal mentality) and gave me a dozen yellow roses every week we were married until he died. He saved and took out a loan six months in advance to get me a special anniversary gift for our second, a full length coyote coat with white fox trim, $3,000 coat. Because I loved it and dreamed some day I might be able to afford one without feeling guilty and self-indulgent.

In all of the wonderful times we had in our short marriage that was the most memorable and poignant. He was killed two months later. My brother was killed a week later. Tough times.
God Bless you for your losses, ma'am.

Ole Randy on the Elko hire:

Quote:

Elko is one year removed from Wake. He didn't build the ND defense by any means.

To his credit, he seems to have leveraged the ND brand well during recruiting, but recruiting for ND is never much of a problem.

Kelly can get someone to plug in as his DC and not miss a beat.

We will see how Elko does at ****. I think he will find recruiting difficult. He certainly isn't going to be able to recruit nationally, and their having anointed Dave Aranda as the best DC in the business isn't going to help them much with recruiting.

Next year will be a test as the ags have two defensive recruits signed as of now and and are going to have a lot of trouble putting together much of a class in 2018.

We will see. I don't think Elko being hired does anything to change the situation at ****. The first indicator will be whether **** gets a commit from Ossai. He had ND in his top 3, so he knows Elko. If Ossai ends up somewhere other than ****, that would be saying something.
For a guy that prides himself on "thoroughly researching" subjects, he missed a glaring stat regarding Elko and Notre Dame:

2016 without Elko: 4-8
2017 with Elko: 10-3

Hmmmm

I think we'll be recruiting just fine, nationally

Imagine getting smashed by a man while he's ranting about A&M's athletic department finances, or how the 12th Man is a fake tradition, or how Stanford Financial screwed him over....it would drive any woman to step out on her marriage.
