We met Mr. Waters on Friday before he was fired. We're adjunct members of the Dallas-area Alumni Association. (My wife was born at your hospital, and I've appreciated the alumni I've met.) We attend game watches and support the Association's scholarship program. We also contribute to the James. None of this qualifies me to comment, but for the dots that seem so closely spaced as to beg connecting. We liked Jon Waters. We liked the presentation he made about the band. We like the band. We smell political correctness in the firing of Mr. Waters. And from my perspective it would seem that The Ohio State University has a politically correct president who really needs to be fired in the name of sensibility. In all honesty, it would also suggest an awkward relationship between Mr. Waters and Dr. Drake whenever they're in the same room or the same campus or the same stadium or the same city. If the environment ain't big enough for the two of them, ditch Drake.
