I can grasp things just fine. But I don't see where it's hard to grasp that he is beloved at A&M, where he wasn't under near as much pressure and he isn't at UK, where it's pretty widely know the shite he did.

not fan base perception, I think the total difference in players at A&M who still seem to love him is a bit odd.

It is an interesting and odd dynamic. He was able to get away with a lot at A&M by winning and being a little under the radar. At Kentucky, he wasn't able to win enough to get away with how he treated players and media. It appears as though he wasn't all that different of a person and his perceptions are totally different at the two places. Weird how that worked out.
