Not sure how much Michiganders care about some loser in Texas, but the only thing worse than Bobby Knight is anything related to Ohio State football…

Are you my dad? My dad went to A&M one year in 1957. I think he wasn’t happy with the absence of women at the school at the time, so he transferred to what was then North Texas State. Anyway, I graduated from A&M in 1991, so my time there is long past. I’m now in law school at Seton Hall, which is a much more progressive school, in spite of the fact that it produced Chris Christie.

Reminder, this is the same stance Clayton Williams took when he was running for governor of Texas vs. Ann Richards. From Wikipedia: " During the campaign, Williams publicly made a comment, which he later said was a joke, that likened the crime of rape to bad weather, having stated: “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it”.
Richards won that race, of course…

The point? As Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

That’s George Santayana. As far as I can tell Winston Churchill probably didn’t even repeat it.
