Yes, I know William Sherman didn’t say that. But his wikipedia page failed to give me any other ideas for a headline, and anytime you can remind me of Dave South it brings a warm, albeit confused, smile to my face.
Dennis Franchione.
Of all the Bum Steer sagas that played out over the past year, however, none was stranger than that of the man ESPN called “dumber than a blocking sled.” Yep, it’s the Aggies’ own Dennis Franchione. His $2 million salary evidently wasn’t enough; he moonlighted as the author of a VIP newsletter, which he […]
Board of Regents approved it today.
Would have been $8.5 million if not for Franchione’s email scam. Like anyone is going to help him get skill position players out of Nigeria.
Franchione will get $1.7 million in the first year of the buyout. New Aggie coach Mike Sherman will make $1.8 million a year over 7 years.
I have been as guilty as anyone in getting frustrated with Mack Brown over the course of his 10-year tenure. I’ve even called for his head at several points. I want to say right now that I think those of you who assume we have to resort to a wine-sipping John Mackovic have […]
The guy looked like a future star last year as a freshman. He finished with 847 yards rushing and averaged 6.67 yards per carry. Through eight games this year he has 465 yards and is averaging 4.84 yards per carry. Did he play with Vince Young last year or something?
The Aggie coaches are trying to […]
Oklahoma
Oklahoma is not as good as their ranking in the polls would indicate. This is a team that in a normal year would be staring at 2-3 losses. Their running game has been inconsistent (especially against the North Division teams) and their playmakers disappear much too frequently, i.e. Malcolm Kelly having 1 touchdown in Big […]
As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked — particularly given this weekend’s Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year’s coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.
Yeah, I’ll fucking […]
Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione had a VIP Connection newsletter that he emailed to about a dozen supporters willing to pay $1,200 a year. In it he offered insights on current players (’Earvin Taylor is too slow to play receiver. Who knew putting on 40 pounds would slow him down?’) and recruiting (’Sam McGuffie is […]
Texas A&M running back Jorvorskie Lane has guaranteed a win over Texas Tech in Lubbock this weekend.
“We’re going to win in 2007,” Lane said. “That’s a guarantee. I promise you.”
The Aggies haven’t won in Lubbock since 1993 which is coincidentally the last year Lane saw his penis while standing.
When asked if Aggie coach Dennis […]
Aggie coach Dennis Franchione wants everyone to know that he isn’t going to resign.
Everyone wants Dennis Franchione to know that he won’t have to.
“I have no intention of resigning this position,” Franchione said at his weekly news conference yesterday.
It wasn’t his usual press conference. His wife was there along with Aggie players […]
