Speaking of Fran

Postby Nacho » Fri Oct 12, 2007 10:45 am

Looks like Fran is toast at A&M either at the end of or during this season (depending on how things go). Would SMU consider him? I don't think so.

I wonder if he did this letter business at TCU. If so wouldn't they be eligible for some sanctions if recruits were mentioned. This could get quite interesting.

I don't have anything against Fran but he will be on the market. He is now tarnished. Someone will eventually take him.

He probably did - I can't imagine College Station is such a cerebral environment that he conjured up a new idea down there. I'm going to assume he did it at TCU, and that his violation of the "don't talk about recruits" rule means TCU forfeits every game played while he was coach - meaning we didn't go winless after all.

SCOREBOARD!!!!! :shock:

Hate to burst your bubble Horseshoe, but we don't get a win, we just don't have a loss. So our record would be 0 - 11 instead of 0 - 12.
Just send 'da money.

I think Patterson was at TCU when we went 0-12.

Can't see tech scoring less than 50 or a&m scoring more than 20.

Yes we would consider Franchione if he were availiable. But I bet he gets to a Bowl which complicates things.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'll gladly give Fran 1 out of every 4 if it means he stays in College Station. He's perfect for the Gomers.

I agree and it will be messy. Let's see..Say he loses to T Tech, Texas and Oklahoma finishing 8-4. Minor bowl. I still think he would be gone. They want him gone and the e-mail embarassment is a great reason for the powers that be. If the 8-4 included a victory over Texas, that could be a different story but I still doubt it. The Gomers are pissed!

Only 10-2 or 11-1 saves his [deleted]. Ain't gonna happen.
