It's definitely true. Texags isn't like other school-oriented websites/subscriber services. Texas A&M basically uses it as an extension of their SID. They let Liucci break the "dirty" news that they don't really want to release through official channels, at least not until it's been adequately socialized. It's quite a clever setup, really.
Liucci is a true insider who gets his marching orders directly from the university's athletic director and university president.
