    This is what the A&M President looks like? Really Texas A&M? You guys went with the second guy from the left in a barbershop quartet as the president of your University? Really?

    A&M President Dr. R. Bowen Loftin

    What small people you are to make fun of someone's appearance. That has nothing at all to do with their ability to lead a university.

    It’s pretty funny. Without ever having seen either President I bet people on the street could identify which person represents which university based solely on what they know about both schools. I think it’s great that both President’s really embody their schools to such a degree. I mean….just look at them:

    Loftin vs. Powers

    Small vs. Big
    Meager vs. Strong
    Bumpkin vs. Affluent
    Apprehensive vs. Relaxed
    Surprised vs. Calm
    Insecure vs. Confident

    Chance get over yourself. His nickname on campus is bowtie loftin.

    Smart guy with a solid vita though. I wonder what he could do if he wasn't hamstrung by the bor and perry.

    If you can't mock powerful people, who can you mock?

    Chance,

    Fwiw, Prop Joe is in ATM admin as I understand. He is a truly "good guy" and shouldn't be mocked.

    What I am trying to figure out is which is the president of A&M, the guy in Longhorn01's link, or the guy in his signature pic?

    He may need to drop the bowtie but he has some smarts. He got his B.S. in physics at A&M and his Ph.D from Rice. He got this job after serving as VP and Professor of Maritime Systems Engineering at the Galveston campus. He's also past director of the NASA Virtual Environments Research Institute.
