re: Honest question: Does Sumlin Hire change perception of A&M?

From the reaction from the Ags that I know, I feel pretty confident that this isn't going to end well for Sumlin.

From the reaction from the Ags I know, most wouldn't care if we hired a transvestite mongoloid at this point as long as we win, myself included. Those who think race is a huge issue for how our fanbase views this hire are severely underestimating how starving for success we are.

smu,tech and tcu dont have the nazi rally going on in the stands. the corps is yalls biggest perception issue. its the most visual part and yall happen to be rivals with a huge fan base. That fanbase passes yall off as racist and gay and enough people buy it and boom you have the racist and gay perception of a&m even though yall claim it to be a small part.

Why would gays and racists be attracted to the same school?

are you going to say texas doesn't have a huge fanbase? they are the ones that help spread the perception of a&m having a racial problem. they also spread the gay perception but yall feed into that with the pics that come from the dress up boys.

until yall change that image of a&m the perceptions true or not about yall wont change.

nah mac is too lazy for that but I figured we were talking fan perception and the longhorn fans spread all the gay things yall do.

Texas has shite all to do with peoples perceptions of A&M. Our shite-tastic marketing department coupled with ESPN and Fox constantly showing the fricking Corps every time-out do.

On message boards they spread the "gay" image to make fun of us. Message boards aren't real life. Unfortunately in real life we do get the racism rep and it has nothing to do with what their fans spread and say, its mostly people stereotyping us as racist because were a very conservative school in the country.

I'm sure there was a good deal of racism at A&M back in the day and it may still be prevalent among older alumni, but that's probably true of any school located in the south.

Constantly showing the Corps does make me mad though. Dr. Gates tried like hell to change that but didn't succeed.

im agreeing with you dont get mad at me. Its pretty clear perception of a&m isn't going to change if nothing changes besides the coach. I dont want yall to change because its much easier to make fun of yall when the face of the program is yell leaders,overall wearers and the corps. Its kinda like bama their loud,white trash retard fans get attention while the good fans aren't noticed.

That definitely happens, but that is mostly contained to local media in Texas. If there is any bias against us, it would be from ESPN and a result of the network, but I don't really buy into that either. We get ignored or bashed because we have been consistently mediocre and irrelevant in football for too long.
