You'd think it was some fluffy crowd in SF, but there have been enough brutal gang fights in the bathrooms and parking lots to cause me to trace my steps carefully.

Did you see what John Sharp, the chancellor of aggie, said when asked if A&M would start serving beer too?

“Our athletic program has not reached the point where we require the numbing effects of alcohol.”

I laughed pretty hard at that one.

That is a decent overview but there are more problems than what they describe in the article. Patterson is a classic CEO type of person, he only does what he thinks is important and he is great at blaming his underlings. From what I was told he has the people skills of a brick, like the article stated, not exactly a nice quality in an AD at a school of at any level. The turnover has been massive at all levels in the athletic department. Powers wanted to fire him but he was dealing with his own problems with the regents appointed by Perry. I think the new pres will probably dismiss him in a year or so as things are destined to get worse. It wouldn't surprise me to see Strong put out feelers for other jobs and possibly leave after next season if things in the front office don't improve. That is one thing the national media never understood about the Texas job, on the outside it may be the top program but once you peel away the layers it stinks.
