That sucks but the letter-writer was arrested for stalking a Houston socialite and he was a Longhorn. Turns out Sumlin was just one of just many local "celebrities" this guy had sent hateful letters to. For Sumlin to use that as an example of how fans treated him is absolute garbage, and just shows what an out of touch drunk he was.


THIS. Were some of our fans shitty towards him near the end? Oh, I'm sure. But for him to cite that example when it was publicly proven long ago that the letter wasn't from thr Aggie fanbase kinda goes to show that he wants to be a victim of maltreatment at the hands of TAMU, and, like you said, how ultimately out of touch he'd become.

And I'm someone who liked the attitude he brought and wanted him to succeed, even towards the end when most folks knew the jig was up.

I think his gripe about that incident is fair. A lot of fans came after Charlene and questioned the authenticity of the claim itself. Lets not forget that a lot of people were saying she wrote it (there was an entire thread dedicated at examining the writing style and tried to pin it on her on TexAgs). Other fans were mad that she made it public as if she was supposed to just suck it up. I'm not about to tell anyone how they should react to racist behavior. Personally, I would have thrown the letter straight into the trash. But I can understand why she wanted to bring attention to a letter that ended with "or else". Instead of our community coming together and condemning it, a few Ags online were more interested in questioning her intentions (on this very board too... y'all know who y'all are ). They weren't interested in finding the perp. They were more interested in smearing the Sumlins as fake/staged/convenient victims.

I think Sumlin has a right to be mad about that one. It was an all time low for Aggie fans online.

But everything else he needs to own it. He was given the resources to win and didn't. We gave him a guaranteed contract, we upgraded facilities, renovated the stadium, and paid top dollar for his coordinators. And he never came close to sniffing a conference championship, much less a NY6 bowl.
