Texas A&M Athletic Director Makes Anonymous Message Board Post That Turns Out to Be Not So Anonymous

Meet Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin pictured above.  Apparently he isn't liked so much by Jeff Toole, A&M athletics' chief financial officer and senior associate athletic director.  Toole is a long to message board poster on the popular website TexasAgs.  Toole has always posted under the alias of UtayAg.  The only problem is the name wasn't as anonymous as he thought it was.   Toole was called out by a fellow poster who searched UtayAg's posting history and found one from May 5, 2010, where he identifies himself as the  CFO for athletics.  Tool recently posted on the website calling the president a “putz” and a “hopelessly underqualified puppet.”

 Toole had obviously forgot that he had revealed himself in the past and could pay a hefty price for it.  Toole is said to make around $200,000 annually at his job.



“President Loftin is aware of the posts and discussed the situation with athletic director Bill Byrne
(Tuesday) afternoon. At this point, we are handling this situation as a
personnel matter, and we will decline to comment further, in accordance
with our standard practice.”

One of the main reasons that Loftin has been under so much scrutiny is his push for A&M's exit from the Big 12 and impending entrance into the Southeastern Conference.  Apparently UtayAg has talked a bunch of trash over the last couple years on many issues and wasn't very liked on the message board.

 

Honestly stories like this never get me going to much.  I mean clearly when money and sports are involved people will go behind each others back day in and day out.  I mean I dunno a lot about A&M football, but I know it's a huge program with a lot riding on it.  People don't see eye to eye on everything.  The greatest part is when he called everyone on the message board idiots, and now it backfired.  What goes around comes around buddy.  Definitely rooting for this idiot to get canned.
