TEXAS A&M
The Texas A&M Aggies are losing AD Scott Woodward to LSU, per reports from Wednesday evening.
However, one fan in College Station isn’t letting the athletic director go without at least putting up a fight, even if he has to do it himself.
As you can see in the photos below, one lonely fan is sitting outside the A&M administration building with a sign saying “Save Scott,” in reference to Woodward:

It appears to be a done deal with LSU, though, so this lone crusader is fighting a losing battle. Still, we applaud his effort as he tries to keep the guy who hired Jimbo Fisher and Buzz Williams in College Station.
I get the “I get to go home” part but why on earth would you leave a program that lets you write blank checks for a raggedyazz athletics program with a sketchy HC or three? Baton Rouge is a stinky corndog hole knowhow. Woodward needs to kick the tires again.
US News & World Report ranks Baton Rouge the 109th best city in the country. College Station was not ranked.
Ain’t nothing better or more gratifying than going back home.
US News is located in New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. We’re supposed to give a sh1t what they think?
Can’t blame a guy for wanting to go back home. Just hoping his impact in Aggieland lasts longer than his impact in Baton Rouge.
From what I’m reading/hearing, this is 100% on John Sharp (A&M Chancellor) refused to give Woodward a raise, along with being “condescending and egotistical” (not my personal words). He also has the Regents in his pocket, so there’s no way to get something done without Sharp OKing it.
So what it amounts to is, you brought in the best AD Texas A&M has had probably ever, and then ran him away because you couldn’t get over yourself.
Newsflash: college station ain’t Paris. We get it, you have rich boosters. Most sec blue bloods have enough to pay the right guy the right price. I honestly can’t think of a fanbase with a more inflated self image. Maybe he left because of the outrageous ego in CS. Or the lame “traditions” like yell practice. Please don’t draw your sabre on me.

Also, this raggedyazz athletics program is one of the more dominant and well rounded in the country (like a couple of other sec schools in addition to our two). I think the Aggie mentality is even more annoying considering their recent comeuppance, which is due in large part to simply joining a conference that was already the gold standard.
