They went from death threats against me for writing the truth, to having to publish in their own school paper the fact that their "12th Man turdition" was a fairytale.
And now they shift to damage control.
"With this, the flawless facade of the 12th Man was shattered. However, the decision to not focus on this discrepancy was seemingly unimportant, as the tradition enabled the university to grow in an otherwise-unattainable way." [An admission that if aggys were actually decent and honest people, A&M wouldn't be what it is today. Think about that.]
"According to Cushing Library curator Anton Duplessis, Class of 2003, the misconstruing of the story was not intentional. Instead, a general miscommunication helped spread the modified story, he said." ["Not intentional", but done nonetheless. Including the filing of the fraudulent trademark application under penalty of perjury even after the truth was known. Which means it was intentional.]
"Unfortunately for A&M, nothing is ever truly as good as it seems." [Something well known by those of us who understand "those who know A&M best, respect A&M the least"]
"The history of the 12th Man is marred by controversy, including multiple lawsuits both from the university and against it. The disagreements of particular importance stemmed from the likely fact of Gill not being the only healthy player on the sideline during the 1922 Dixie Classic."" [The disagreements stemmed from the fact A&M administrators have long known they were perpetrating a fraud and they knew the overwhelming majority of aggys were too dimwitted to ever figure it out]
"“The 12th Man is a concept that's made by people at Texas A&M, and that can be something that's different based on historical facts, so you might find that the idea of what it means to be the 12th Man changes as the university grows,” Rowe said." ["something that's different based on historical facts." Pure aggyspeak]
