I’ll always respect @billyliucci, I criticized a moment during a baseball series when a certain someone came back to town. Instead of Billy getting upset with it, he offered me an extra ticket in premium seating at Olsen.
He built a platform that allows Aggies everywhere to stay in touch with the athletic department all over the world. He is loyal to A&M, and always supports our guys and girls, even when it gets tough.
Elko’s comments today are beyond out of touch. And it showed a lack of impulse control that I haven’t seen out of him, ever. To make matters worse, Billy wasn’t the only victim in the press conference. The way Elko talked to our own media pool was simply unacceptable. These are people who dedicate so much time and effort into covering Aggie sports, they’re bigger fans than most of us. To talk to them and treat them that way was wrong. Jimbo had bad years. He never talked to the media like that.
To accost a large portion of our fanbase after a loss that you took the blame for is certainly a choice. Emotions get the best of all of us, but as a head coach of a school with the values we have, and a fanbase a loyal as we are, don’t take us for granted. If it weren’t for us, you’d still be at Duke, and we’d have Mark Stoops. Maybe we lose more games with him, but I don’t think he’d ever lash out like that.
Do better coach, and please for your own sake, apologize.
This past weekend our own Maddox Cleavinger (So) competed at the West Texas Shootout in Concan, Tx. After a challenging 36 holes, Maddox placed 3rd out of 140 golfers! Congrats 🐾⛳️
