The Dennis Franchione Saga

So why is this year such a big deal? Isn't Alabama supposed to beat the crap outta everyone they face? Well, yes. But that's not always been the case.

In fact, this year represents a long long road out of the wilderness that began before the end of the millineum. The heart of the malaise can be traced to a man who has fallen so far as to be the front runner for the head coach of San Diego State University.

So how did we come from there to here? Well, our own Outside the Sidelines penned a heaping helping of the tale earlier this year on this here website. So, as we wait for the onset of the bowl season and the glories it entails, it might do us well to revisit the difficult days of the past and remember how long the road has been to this year's Sugar Bowl...

I really enjoyed this

Back when the Dennis Franchonie Saga first started on here it was one of my favorite features. I would love to finally read the final chapter. So OTS if you get around to it, I think we would all love the final chapter

To quote an article from

a 1989 issue of some metal magazine, “Izzy quit G’N’R cuz Axl’s a wuss!”

Axel is a big ole' d'bag....

Slash would drink a 24 of Hamm’s, piss out some stems and smoke them..all the while, Axel’s swallowing (lozenges, of course ;) )

"penis fish"…google that, and the candiru is the first thing that pops up

I'm calling Nicholas Cage...

That MF’er can find anything…I particularly liked the scene in American Treasure where he goes up Lincoln’s urethra and finds enough Chizik nickels to pay off Tubb’s contract (exchange rate = 340,900,021 yuan or $.14 and some navel lint).
