The excuse the commandant made back in 1996 (his first year) was to keep cadets from leaving the march-ins then changing into civilian clothes to go to the games OR not even going and watching in their dorm rooms. Southerland (VP of student affairs) saw it as an opportunity to "put the corps front and center" to increase enrollment...and Wally Groff was just a piece of shite.

Hey Lobo, I have appreciated your posts here and on Texags but lighten up a little on Wally.

He did the best he could with what he had to work with. Sorry you and others didn't agree. He spent almost his entire career in the Athletic Department. He was an excellent financial guy. Served in the corps, is a good Ag and loves A&M.

But he is gone now. He has been retired for several years. He is an excellent father, grandfather, husband and a pretty good rancher in West Brazos County.

My family has been friends with Wally and his family since the early 1970's and don't feel he needs to be described in those words.

You may think he did a crummy job as AD and that is your right. But you, me and Wally are fellow Ag's and we should at least respect one another.

Gig em.

Thank you for your service.
