@saluki44 I have known Kelly 19 years since she came to Texas A&M.....Kelly has been offered many head coaching jobs over the years but she remained loyal to our program and our coach Gary Blair. Kelly leaving is our loss but I am so happy for her to beable to " go home" and coach. Her fan club from TAMU will follow her to SIU - we will read about and follow your team....on this blog, watch your games that get streamed and root for you as long as your not playing us. And yes I hope in the future our schools would play a non conference game with you so we would beable to see Kelly. You will find Kelly very active with the fan base and if you all get together when possible and travel to away games....you will get to know the team personally, share meals and activities with them and show support for them. So whether you win or lose you all will grow into a family atmosphere to the betterment of all
Wishing you all the best and even if this year is a year of growth and not what you expected reach out support your team and understand your house is only built with a solid foundation.
@rudybryan Thanks for the classy post. I look forward to following her program.
Thank you for going to the trouble to sign up to post that.
I haven't talked to anyone here who is less than thrilled to have her, and I've heard nothing but great things about her from A&M friends who are in the know about Aggie women's hoops.
Thanks again!
