Of course any favorable references from his somewhat

dubious past employment may be slightly hard to obtain. :lol:

he can keep looking

by **smupony94** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 7:25 pm

He seems to have a decent start this year. I bet they would give him one more year anyways.

he can poke it

by **smupony94** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 7:55 pm

That may have several connotations since he is at A&M

What the hell is wrong with Franchione at TAMU? Why is he not having the success there that he had elsewhere? Is it just karma?

because UT and Oklahoma are 2 of the Top 5 recruiting programs in the country-A&M has not been competitive with either program in recruiting since Stoops and Brown arrived. The competitive talent level is most certainly down in College Station. Plus I think the game evolved on R.C. in his last few years and Slocum didn't really adjust.

So that is Fran's fault?

Great! We have an Aggie on our web site. I can't begin to tell you how much of a beating this is.

Your school is weird. Your traditions are stupid. Your fight song is boring. Your band is overrated. And your corps needs to understand that chasing our cheerleaders off of Kyle Field waving the sabres was possibly the dumbest thing in the history of that school.

The only good thing that came out of A&M was when they beat UH the week after UH beat us, 95-21. Everybody remember when Aaron Wallace held up Andre Ware's helmet like he was holding the head of the emperor after Wallace took Ware to the woodshed?

Oh, wait a minute, Phil Bennett is an Aggie. Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Allright, somewhat off topic, but as long as A&M has been brought up:

One of the fellows I work with is constantly telling me what an "All-time Elite Powerhouse" A&M is. Now, not growing up in Texas (the screen name should give you that hint. :wink:

) A&M wasn't really on my radar - and even now I really only think of them when they play SMU, or have played the spoiler for a bigger name Big 12 team. My colleague and I for the purpose of our 'discussion' agreed to define - in a purely arbitrary manner - an 'all time elite powerhouse" as a program that could be considered "top-15" alltime (again, purely arbitrary), and though ups and downs happen with any school, could not have completely fallen off the map for decades since it was dominant (hence no Yale, Army).

My list (by current conference in no order) would include: Big 10: Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State; SEC: LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee; Big 12: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas; Pac-10: USC; ACC: Florida State, Miami, and Independant: Notre Dame.

So in my 15 there is no room for A&M and a few more schools (Auburn, Washington, Arkansas) I would probably put ahead of A&M.

Bringing my to my point: Is this a crazy idea, is A&M on the level of my personal 15 or does my co-worker (who went to UH but loves the Aggies over his own school ?!?) have a slightly out of whack concept of A&M "greatness." Or, since I am a little younger than some (30) is A&M an alltime great program that is now over shadowed by "bigger-name" schools in it's own conference?

(and yes; I realize this is probably a seperate thread but this A&M talk brought it to mind)

Oddly enough, there are people on this board who went to SMU who love the University of Texas more than their own school! :roll:

Anybody else catch the irony here?

Not any more of a beating than someone who blabs about Big 10 football on an SMU board.
