I went but forgot the handshake and could not get in. Sorry.

And Fran recruited just fine at A&M. Almost all his losses were to teams that appeared in the Top 10 plus Miami on the Road. I'm tired of arguing with some of you-let's go hire a Tom Rossley!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The original quote that I saw on maniacs was that he was a BCS "coach." Did not say "BCS head coach."

While the Aggies do play a powderpuff schedule most of the time, the fact is that they went to bowls every year and Fran did manage to beat UT two years in a row. They had trouble with the Sooners and Sand Aggies. The Cult believes that they should win the Big XII south every year and beat UT in recruiting every year. Even if Darrell Royal switched allegiances and went to coach the Aggies, they still would not outrecruit the Whorns. Thems is facts as they say in that part of Texas. The Aggies even have more athlete friendly majors than UT and almost as many felons as UT. After all, they can offer all those Ag Courses, like Fertilizer made Easy, Don't try and Milk a Bull, How to keep the Rooster Out of the Hen House. I think A&M even offer extension courses at Huntsville.

If you major in Poultry Science at A&M you get an automatic scholarship. Fact.

I listened to part of Sherman's intro and speech. Sounds like a good Aggie. Howdy and whoop!

I hope they play Penn St in the Alamo Bowl and stomp them. I've always hated Paterno since he cried his way to the NC over us.

All the Aggies in church on Sunday whooped when the pastor mentioned the win. Pastor is a UT alum. It was funny.

What I hate most about aggies. They have no sense of decorum. None. The whooping is annoying enough at the games, and out in public. It is completely inappropriate in a church and at a wedding.
