Why is Elmo mad at fans for commenting on Connor Weigman’s fake black accent?

I haven’t heard anything terribly mean, only that observations that he has consciously worked on a southern black dialect when he is from Cypress, Texas, the most un-hood suburb in Texas.

If you're asking seriously, there was open speculation on TexAgs that Weigman was a heavy mj smoker. I've never see the moderators let stuff like that stick around for days the way they did.

Is that what he was referring to, or comments about his fake accent?

I’m sure his parents don’t speak with that dialect…wonder where he picked that up?

It was about A&M fans attacking Weigman after ND. Rumors of drug use, etc … TexAgs is a cesspool.

Lol. It's obviously just from hanging out with teammates. In press conferences, Weigman speaks as you would expect with a slight Texas twang. I believe he is from an upper middle class background like many qbs are (you need money for all the extra coaching and camps those kids attend).

Are you sure it wasn’t his black accent?

If it was all about some purported MJ use, what’s the big deal with that in 2024?

Judging by this video, he's an idiot. And given he's the qb/presumed leader of the team, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the real reason that A&M class imploded

There were rumors of stronger drugs than marijuana. And the QB “battle” with the fans on TexAgs went way beyond play on the field.

We have some very toxic fans - witness Calzada and his comments on the way out the door

It was about comical rumors —from a handful of online dorks—that Conner was not injured in September; rather, that he’d been smoking too much lettuce and would be playing at Tarleton State next year.
A few media hacks made some shitty comments as well.

Elko was right to call out the nonsense and to publicly show confidence in his player.
