Perhaps he's remembering when A&M bought out Fran's contract at Alabama after Fran left due to Alabama's NCAA probation.

Since I don't bet, Fran's newsletter doesn't bother me. And by the way, don't we all think the bookies in LV have a ton more inside information than most bettors have. So, if student A happens to see player B limping in the classroom and that student places a bet knowing that the player is hurt, that's what betting is. And since gambling is illegal in most of the 50 states, you get what you deserve if someone else has better intel than you do. It all depends what Fran did with his little fund raising gains.

Interesting...nothing in todays Sports Section of the DMN. You would think this would be front page material.

I finally did see it on another blog, but I don't believe it. You don't negotiate secret buyouts in the middle of the season to be announced later. It doesn't make sense.

Hey blogster, is the rumor I heard true that the Blog will be coming back in full force to cover the search for a new coach immediately upon the mathmatical elimination of SMU from post-season contention? I read it on another blog about blogs on hiatus.

That proves it. I am not an idiot. I don't have a blog and I don't know how to get one.
