Fellow Classmates of 77;
I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year;
Being in North Carolina, I am not as connected with the facts and the news.
I just saw that the Aggies will not be in their Bowl Game. Something about
they could not field a team. Gee, I thought we were the home of the “12th
MAN”.
I thought I learned that we had the “12th Man”. That if our student
athletes were not able to field, the student body would come to their aide.
What a great opportunity that is lost to show the rest of the country what
being an Aggie is.
Very disappointed in the President, AD, and Coach. We had a great
opportunity to set us apart the rest. I don’t care about the SEC and their
rules. It is time to tall them to go bound sand. Same for when they moved
the Band from their place in the stadium.
We might not have won, but with great coaching and willing walk-ons, it
would have been a great game to watch. One for the record books.
A BIG missed opportunity.
Now, I have to watch the CFB Championship games. Maybe they will all be by
disqualifications and we can just five Alabama the trophy again.
Be safe and will this year.
John
