A&M's former president compares A&M to Mizzou and said they're not Texas or Alabama (speaking about athletics).

quote:

Loftin on A&M/Mizzou: They aren't all that different. "We aren't Texas or Alabama. Neither one of them."

You can put lipstick on a turd but it is still a turd

Sounds like you're assuming a lot.

You put lipstick on turds? That's disgusting, man. Get control of yourself.

I'm guessing he's referring to history, because money/facility wise aTm is Texas' equal (at least)

We have a LONG way to go in that regard.

Isn't Loftin the one who made all the "Moon turns the Tide" cracks?

I believe it was in reference to the ability to attract top candidates for AD based upon overall quality of athletic program

So he's slamming both Mizzou and Aggy?

Did I read that right?

If so, he's correct. Just funny to hear him say it.
