If A Stopwatch Clicks In The Woods...
...does anyone hear it? A&M pro day. I'm not one for kicking someone when they're down, but... Some key quotes: Draft-eligible Aggies tried to impress scouts Wednesday in College Station. I just want to make the NFL aware that I am also draft eligible. As is His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, the...
A Heisman History Of Hose Jobs Hijinks
The Heisman is the Academy Award of college football. Remind yourself of that fact as you watch this Saturday's announcement. Like the Academy's honors, I don't really care about the collective opinion of a body politic comprising sociopathic cokeheads, preening Scientologists, and serial anal...
2009 Texas A&M Football Preview: State of The Union
Aggie football players are a lot like the Aggie Corps of Cadets. Some of them are the real thing and deserve your respect, but most play dress up for four years pretending to be something they’re not and end up selling insurance in Tomball. Witness the perfect illustration of my point. West Point....
You are invited to Mack and Bob's end of season party
You are cordially invited to join us to celebrate the end of another football season and $4 million dollars of bonus money. It is BYOB (strictly for liability reasons). Our friend Dennis Franchione has offered to host it at his new house in Horseshoe Bay since he is enjoying his time off with his...
'Bama is STILL pissed off at Dennis Francione
Francione, busy moving in where most ex-coaches with State of Texas ties seemingly go after getting a buyout from their employers, (Horseshoe Bay), has a new gig. He is about to join ESPN Radio as a color analyst for college football. His first assignment? Alabama vs. Clemson in Atlanta. Apparently...
The QB Recruit Class of 2004- Checking In
Here's an interesting sub-plot for this coming season. Let's go back to the signing class of 2004. Texas had just lost the Holiday Bowl to WSU, and the feeling was definitely out there that maybe the Brown regime had topped out a couple of years earlier. The 2004 class of Texas schoolboys had a...
General Sherman: Dave South Shall Rise Again
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. "He makes the catch! Touchdown! . . . . . incomplete, he dropped it. First and...
Texas Monthly 2008 Bum Steer of the Year
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...
Franchione gets $4.4 million buyout from A&M
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...
Be careful what you wish for...A review of Coaching Hires from 2002
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 lost your minds, but it...
