Kevin Sumlin Addresses Racist Hate Mail Received After UCLA Loss

On Saturday, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin addressed a racist letter sent to his home following his team's 45-44 loss to UCLA in the season opener Sept. 3.

"I get criticism, which is part of the job," he said, per ESPN.com. "I get suggestions, and that's part of the job.
