Just when you think Texags.com couldn't get any better...
The CFO of Texas A&M's athletic department, Jeff Toole, called R. Bowen Loftin a 'putz' and a 'hopelessly underqualified puppet' on Texags during the summer, posting under the handle UtayAgs.
That's certainly a nice endorsement of the administration from somebody who probably knows A&M's financial plight won't be fixed by simply switching conferences and getting a better TV deal. Large expenditures looming ahead include renovating Bat Guano Palace, buying out Mike Sherman at some point, and paying the SECession fee to the Big 12.
But rather than tackling these desperate financial issues helmet to helmet like Trent Hunter (too soon?), this Toolebag is posting on Billy Liucci's for-profit self help forum, undressing his bowtied boss under what he presumed was an anonymous handle. That is until one clever Aggie (yes, there is just one) pulled up some of UtayAg's old posts and found one where he fucking announces he's the CFO of the Athletic Department. Oh, and he's also an associate AD. /checks Ag Tag. Class of '80. Yep, he's legit.
On Oct. 1 on the subject of coach Mike Sherman’s contract, Toole posted, "I have to admit that the stupidity on this board always brings me back to the point that I know I’m not the dumbest (expletive) out there."
That's actually debatable, even if what he posted is true. And I believe we just found Texags' new mission statement.
Don't be surprised if by some bizarre twist of Aggie fate and desperate PR logic, Loftin promotes this guy and gives him a raise, Office Space style. But I would just go ahead and move my desk to the basement tomorrow morning if I were Jeff Toole.

WHICH I AM.
Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!
Embedded spy, imo. I actually work for the Longhorn Network.
First 27-25, now TooleGate. Best. Week. Ever. This might be your last chance to watch the Aggies decompose in slow motion from close range.
You're going to miss this shit, I promise.

It’s probably not the first time TexAgs has cost an Aggie their job, but it’s probably the first time that TAMU’s Athletic Department CFO lost his job because of TexAgs.
You can’t make this shit up.

Not cyber bright but a helluva good judge of Ol’ Bowtie. And he’s seen the financial records, too.

Toole will not lose his job. He made a large donation to Aggie athletics(basketball) in 2006. He’s a successful businessman who did this to help A&M overcome their financial difficulties. It’s unbelievable he was outed on a message board, but at least he is a rational Ag. He thinks bowtie is a buffoon, puppet, and idiot. Can anyone argue this? It’s also clear what the athletic department thinks of the move to the SEC and it’s clear who was driving the bus to the SEC. For a university that prides itself on tradition, their so called big money decision makers know nothing about the school they claim to love. Their move to the SEC will be a very divisive issue for years to come. That’s why its best to never play them again. Everything about that school is in peril.

Now Texags is all ablaze about a twitter photo that purportedly shows the ref who made the worst personal foul call in history against Hunter was obviously trying to avoid even hitting the tu receiver wearing a tu hoodie. Further, someone on Texags is claiming that even this ref may have posted on Texags!

There are some claiming that the ref gave a “hook em” sign with his hand when signalling for a first down and I swear I can’t figure out if they’re serious. I may be giving them too much benefit of the doubt.

We may look forward to being entertained by agy, at least for a few years. However. if and when agy achieves some measure of success – success by rational standards, ideally, but we know about agy and rationality, eh? – we also may look forward to being inundated by whooping emulators of Milkmania. Enjoy the relative silence while it lasts, and prolong it by curbing your desires to prod them in their agonies – simply watch and eat your popcorn and chuckle/guffaw as seems best to yourself.

I think the guy deserves kudos for tagging Loftin with the perfect pejorative. Just as there are subtle but distinct differences between geeks, nerds and dorks, I think ‘putz’ was the absolute, dead solid perfect description of Loftin. It’s the bow tie that does it.

To be clear “where are they on this” wasn’t meant to be “they’re big pussies for not coming onto this thread” so much as I wonder what their genuine thoughts are. Is this simply a tempest in an Internet teapot, where the only people who care are the very people screaming that they don’t? Or, does this indicate even to them a larger malfunction that causes them genuine concern? I’m sure it’s not fair of me to expect them to post an honest opinion here; but I know they’re “chums with management,” so I was hoping someone else could lend some insight.

Is this simply a tempest in an Internet teapot…?
Assuming your definition of “tempest” is equivalent to the Big Red Maroon Spot on Jupiter, then YES, since it antedates the innertubes and shows no sign of abating – although it may disappear briefly, occasionally, it always returns.
I am quite certain that you can look forward, with no fear of disappointment, to an agy version of “Now look what you made me do to myself”, as they will doubtless find a way to make it tu’s fault that they are getting ass-raped in Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Fayetteville and other points East.

Without giving any details that would give away the identity of an administration member I actually like, I spent the day of the aTm-Kansas game with an administration figure who is usually forced to be on hand in Loftin’s box… and he got out of it that day… and his descriptions, while not as colorful, left little doubt that he was happy not to be on hand.
Loftin is thought of as a putz by most of those who work with him.
The comments on this story on local radio and tv bulletin boards is along the lines of: “Is it a problem if what he said was true?”
All of that having been said… Byrne is this guy’s direct boss… and Byrne thinks Loftin is a putz. Does he have the guts to defend his underling who was dumb enough to say in public what he thinks in private?

Bowtie is apparently at it again. Reports are that he wants Sherm fired and Byrne wants to keep him. Bowtie is really giving dentists a bad name. He is a fucking moron! How did A&M go from having Bowen and Gates to this idiot. I actually think Sherman has done a good job considering what he stepped into after Fran completely wrecked that program. There is talent on campus, they have a good recruiting class coming in, the D has gotten better every year.
They will be making another epic mistake especially if they hire Smart who has never had head coaching experience. I would give him one more year with a veteran oline, a talented yet unproven QB to see what he can do and to also lock up a good class that includes Trey Williams. If it doesn’t work out after year 6 then you go hire sweatervest who will most likely be in the clear from the NCAA by then.
The stupidity over there is truly remarkable.
