Got this from a buddy, who graduated from A&M. He says this fool needs to move to Austin.

Not sure about the Austin reference, but let those who want to try and promote the albino squirrel mascot do what the want...it won't happen and atleast they're making some sort of effort to identify with the university. Maybe an albino squirrel section at Fouts would boost attendance

Um...no.

I don't want some whacko in a cheap squirrel suit running around at my football and basketball games. It doesn't work that way and it really won't when the secondary mascot has brothers and sisters at other schools. I'm Kit Young and I disapprove of the Albino Squirrel mascot now, just like I did the first time it was voted on.

I feel you misunderstood...they can run 1000 referendums out there to vote for an albino squirrel mascot...and they will all be shot down...either by the students, the BOR or the president. We will never have a squirrel mascot. Its a non-issue...there will be a small portion of the campus population that supports it...let them. And perhaps the sarcasm was missed in my second sentence...

as for the brothers and sisters...I must be missing something there, Kit.

I vote for the albino squirrel and a name change from Mean Green to The Killer Whiteys.

Of course people would wear the wrong color white to games or worse; they'd wear ecru.

---There are idiots and there are educated idiots..... ran into one at work this week (philosophy prof) .... What he did was unbelievable. These guys belong together. Education is great.... however education does not insure one has any common sense or will be respectful of others. All education does in that area is improve the odds that they will have some common sense....and are able to learn to respect others...

---One of the craziest guys I ran across was in the workroom with the Xerox machines when I came in and I asked him had he seen "whoever"... He claimed he did not know who he was... then a I asked about a second person... he did not know him either... Both of them had offices down the hall from him but taught a different subject and both had been there several years as he had. He had a PHD in history and I assume he knows a lot of historical names but did not even know the names of people he shared a hall with..... how crazy and self-centered is that?? (this happened a couple of years ago, doubt if he still knows who they are)

Idiot Part II: We had prof that paid off his house and therefore was no longer required by anyone to carry insurance on it so he cancelled it.. Within a year it burned down and he now owned a pile of charcoal.... (another history prof). In short if you can't afford to lose it or can't easily replace it, then insure it.

"I don't mind being called the Mean Green, even though it does suggest a touch of violence."

What? Squirrels aren't violent? Try picking one up the next time you are walking across campus and let me know how it reacts. You may want to make sure Denton Regional has some rabies vaccine handy before you try this.

The Albino Squirrel thing is part of some Preservation Society...which has chapters in other schools, one at UT. I think they tried the same stupidity there.

Hopefully, soon, it will suggest more than a touch of violence.

Amen, brother.

Maybe it is because we have far too many squirrels here. I think they like reefer.

tu has an albino squirrel on campus. There are a few other schools that have albino squirrels (can't remember which ones off hand).

JUST SAY NO! TO THE ALBINO SQUIRREL!

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.

      Hes 73 and will not coach forever... That said, if you can bring him in and have him coach just a couple seasons to get the program on the right track before retiring and handing it off to someone he has trained as his replacement.
