yes it does go to the athletic dept. Obviously no one answering it.

He promised A&M to the PAC 10 and then was embarrassed when he was overruled and sent on a "vacation". No wonder he is a little touchy.

It's him...just saying.
It sure does sound like him. And I dialed the number and it is the Texas A&M athletic department.
In any case, I also support Bill on this one. What the guy said was classless. He deserves a good thumping.
10:53a, 6/16/10
Pretty Funny.
i just hope people dial the right number if they are going to call him. My phone number at work is only 1 digit off.

Hilarious but I've gotta give props to Bill for that. I'm sure he received about 500 ridiculous emails and the comment about Dodds may have been been the straw that broke the camel's back.
11:22a, 6/16/10
Totally support him on this. Some guy emails thinking he can talk to a complete stranger that way with no repercussions and gets called on it. I have new found respect for him.

Hey Guys,
I know the voicemail is funny and everyone wants to jump all over bill byrne, but the voicemail is not really him.
How do I know this? My wife worked in the athletic department under Bill for her last 3 years at school, talked to him everyday. Its not his voice.
Just thought you should know, this kind of stuff is why other schools laugh at us. We throw our own under the bus without even thinking twice about it.

His number is printed in the campus directory. It's not hard to get a hold of. I could create a voicemail just as easily and say "My number is umm..." then read what is printed in the directory.
Once again, I do not believe that is Byrne's voice...

You are sadly mistaken! I know it's him for a fact and if you want to compare YouTube one of his speeches...

Yes, you're right. I'm part of an elaborate coverup. Knock on the side window at Cushing next Tuesday night at 9PM and you can be part of the coverup too.

Everybody on the internet knows! Everybody on the internet is an expert. The CIA and FBI could use some of you to determine what the "chatter" is saying on the intercepts they get. LOL!

True or not, when I heard this clip this morning, it was the first time I'd laughed all week long.

1. $ Bill is obviously not very bright for leaving a voicemail that can of course be recorded and uploaded on the internet.
2. After 10 years of generally sucktastic football, you would think he would be a little more thick skinned than Obama and would have heard it all by now...

The owner of this website says it is Byrne. I choose to believe Brandon.

Personally, I work for a University, and if I had made a call to a parent or student or alum like that, I would be fired. It doesn't matter what the other person said...I'm representing the University and my behavior has to reflect that.
4:08p, 6/16/10
I support Bill, I would love it if Dodds did something similar, but I think this is a built in excuse to fire him if the Board wants to.

It is him. I still have a voicemail he left me that I saved. I sent him an email/message on the aggieathletics page asking for a transcript of his state of the department adress or a video link to it and he called me and left a voicemail saying that their was none but that he basically talked about what he has been putting in his wednesday weekly addresses. I was actually surprised that he called. It was nice that he did. I would have liked to talk to him but I didnt pick up because I didn't recognize the 979 number.

If the Board of Regents and the University President tell you that you are not a part of the decision making on conference alignment, why in the hell should you stick around College Station for the weekend.
A family reunion in Idaho sounds pretty nice to me, and pretty darned timely as well...
100% behind Bill on this one

Yeah, I read it too on his blog. Awesome! He put that punk in his place! And instead of confronting BB, he posted the VM on the net. What a little beyotch.

We need a new AD. Not because we stayed in the big 12, but because of our mediocrity and over paying terrible coaching hires.

Seriously? Football is NOT the only sport at A&M.
