It has nothing to do with any particular threat against Texas A&M, but rather something to do with the bill which dems feel would benefit Texas A&M, even though the bill does not specifically mention Texas A&M. I cannot remember the exact specifics, but I'm sure someone else here will.

What I heard was that the A&M quarterback might not be eligible to play. His grades are bad. He has 3 F's and one D. He told Coach Slokum about it and R.C. said, "Damn son, it looks like you have been spending too much time on just one class."

What Did Brit Hume Say About Texas A&M?

Here we go. Nearly a week after they beat the OU Sooners, they got to get in the news.

Can't we just please move on? (that's a joke...)

And a tip of the hat to TAMU for their victory last week.

(we now return you to the substantive postings portion of this thread...)

It was regarding the National Security issue, and it was not Brit Hume specifically. A reporter covering the issue of vaccines, the Lilly Company and exemptions from lawsuits, etc. said that a new Bioterror Department would be included, probably at Texas A&M because of Phil Graham. However, there are at least a dozen sites which would be able to bid on it.

Nothing to do with security, but interesting.

Supposedly, Tom Delay was able to get vague language inserted into the House version that will mean money for A & M research.

It relates to Section 308(2)(A) of the Homeland Security Bill - Criteria for selecting a University-based Center for Homeland Security. A lot of the language fits in with what A&M has expertise in. A&M was not mentioned by name in the bill.
