re: Aggy Board OT Discussion Thread

Buzbee out,

"This is a tough post. Those of you in the know, know that I love Texas A&M. I spent six years on the Board of Regents for the A&M System. I endowed the Dean’s Chair of the Texas A&M Law School. I was on the Board when we purchased and rebranded the law school. I, along with many donors, gave millions to fund the 480+ million dollar renovation of our football stadium, Kyle Field. In fact, I was on the Board of Regents when we voted to renovate and upgrade the stadium, making it one of the biggest and best in the country. I also personally funded the first development on the Quad in almost fifty years to help Corps of Cadets members improve their grades—The Buzbee Leadership Learning Center is a building I’m proud to say carries my name. But, this year I didn’t renew the tickets to my football suite. I’m not saying that’s permanent. And I’m not saying I won’t support our football team and coaching staff, because I will. I will also continue to support the law school and will never stop supporting my beloved Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets. I owe a lot to the Corps of Cadets and the Marine Corps for whatever success I have had. This year, though, with the chants by student athletes to tear down statues on campus and calls by student athletes to “defund the Corps of Cadets,” I just will sit it out and try to organize my thoughts as I watch this play itself out. I’ve always said, Texas A&M is a beacon of light for good in a rough world. My daughter goes there and I’m hoping my son will as well. To try to denigrate or tear down the school and it’s institutions for the sake of tearing something down or to make a political point doesn’t work for me. I’m all for change and empowerment. I’ve tried to be a catalyst in that regard. But sometimes in our fervor just to do something, we lose our focus on continuing to do what is right and good. Gig’em."

Defund the Athletic Department.

Seriously. Let them break away as a minor league team. See how far that gets them.

Good for him. I’m sure all the little SJWs will quickly step up and fill the financial void he left.

I hope at some point people realize that all these “movements” merely show up, shite all over everyone else’s hard work and accomplishments, and leave.

Mond will figure it out when one of the 4ks in the hot tub room stop working and isn’t replaced right away.

Y’all may or may not realize it yet but the SEC is going to bypass the only fair way to expand the 2020 schedule, which would be adding the next two cross divisional opponents up for rotation, in favor of an arbitrary SOS formula that’s probably going to screw yall.

I hope in light of this you realize the inadequacy of the scheduling system in the conference and join with us to end permanent cross divisional opponents and move to a philosophy of balanced scheduling, not one that’s simply what’s best for Alabama.

So in the category of "something that should have been a surprise but isn't" - I've been busier since starting Permissive TDY going into retirement than in the 6 months prior. I start a corporate fellowship with Microsoft in 2 weeks.

Have LSU fans always had their own private safe space scoreboard?

If so I’ve never noticed
