My wife texted me this from inside her department's meeting with Watts. Mind you, she never speaks ill of anyone or anything.

"Don't know how much more of this I can handle. He's terrible"

...She's right, "Saddles"....The mere sight of him on campus casts an aura of dread and sorrow over it...Run back and tell that, "Wattsies!"

How many times did he use the word peasants?

Say what?

"The peasants are revolting!"

"They certainly are."

After watching the way he addressed the players and the media, I looked up his other speaking engagements on YouTube. The man does not carry himself well, has not personality, enthusiasm, or charisma. It's a complete contrast to other University presidents in the southeast and the United States. I worked for a third party ticket sales company within the UTC Athletic Department up here for a year. UTC was in the middle of a search for a Chancellor when I started. When they hired Dr. Angle, he came and spoke to the Athletic Department and was always visible at Athletic events. Watts has seemed to have no campus visibility whether Athletics or otherwise. I just hope we can get rid of this clown before it is too late.

I've worked for an idiot like this before- I hope he's ran off soon.If you reading this WATTS watchers fu and go run and tell him I said he's a poor excuse for a leader.

Watts hammered the media in his meeting with SAS. He also apparently said the attendance figures were inflated. Apparently the more interesting meeting was afterwards when faculty of SAS met alone and discussed issues. Not revealing anything about that, though, on this public forum, and I would advise all others to do the same.

Had the piece of sh!t ever went to one of the football games, he would have known that the numbers were not inflated. If anything, they were skewed down.

He's been up in the box. If you call that watching the game.

He was actually at the North Texas and Louisiana Tech games.......stayed in a skybox, and did not look very happy.

He probably had a hand in that La Tech crowd count. That one wasn't inflated.
