The press conference is scheduled for 1 PM this Monday (August 11) at the Bryan fieldhouse.
Go ahead and take your lunch break at that time and come out and see Big Wheel officially lose his interim tag. Also, it wouldn't hurt to bring your checkbook with you and make a small on-site donation to the athletic department. I'm sure Wheeler can use every little penny to help turn this thing around.
This is long over-do announcement and it couldn't be happening to a more qualified and dedicated person.
A native son has finally been chosen to lead A&T out of the darkness. Let's all celebrate and support him.

This will be one of the major turning points for this athletic department for the immediate and foreseeable future for years to come. Wheeler is a class act, has unquestionable knowledge of the NCAA bureaucracy, and will fight for his coaches to get them what they need.
His biggest tests early on will be getting our fund raising apparatus operating as it should and reversing the red tape factor in the admission office concerning our incoming student athletes and a fair modification of Hackney rule regarding transfers.
I wish him nothing but unwavering success and will always consider him to be my great friend and classmate. I am simply ecstatic over his permanent appointment as our AD.

Good news! As far as I'm concerned we could have made it official right after he extended Bibbs contract.

Congrats to Wheeler!
I want you all to be just as critical and hard on him as any of the past ADs. We must hold him, as others, accountable.
Best of luck to him, I'm sure he'll do well.

I don't think that will be a problem, Gator. After all, this is BDV.com - your online home for misery, dissatisfacation and cynicism.

...and I ain't left yet.
The first time he suggests raising funds via selling seasonings and chocolate candies, his @ss is mine.
Outside of his predecessor, what A.D. have we complained about. I know a few complained about Davis, but otherwise?

I was kinda upset with Scandret when we had that online chat in 2000 and he didn't understand the genuis of my Aggie Rag idea.

Just got back from Wheeler's press conference; it was a standing room only event.
A couple of times Big Wheel looked like he was about to start crying, but I gave him one of those looks your mamma gives you when you are acting up in church and he quickly regained his composure.
I'll try to have the video up when I get home.
