As I said to Gravy back on a cold Oklahoma night in 1997, "Let's see those numbers roll!" :laugh:

Whoa. Did you write something negative about OUR COACH?

:popcorn:

btw, GSZ94, I believe his overall record at A&M is 28-24, after Thursday. And that's including wins over Div. 1-AA teams like Montana State.

[Gravy]

Man, I remember that game...it was freaking cold. Some Sooners actually shared their "anti-freeze" with us. Of course, now that I think about it, I don't remember ever seeing them drink it, so maybe it really was anti-freeze.......

To me, those #s don't mean sh!t. Fran took over one of the most talent depleted teams in A&M history. He is playing against spread offenses every other week, so obviously, more points will be scored.

That being said, there is no excuse for Thursday night. 9 wins & a tu victory or else later, nasal boy.....& even then, I think we are just digging ourselves into a deeper hole.

That's disappointing, Dustin. :wow:

I think, while the nubers don't teall EVERYTHING, they ceratinly mean something.

As for 9-3 including beating t.u., I think that might be enough for him to keep his job, but I agree he should still be sent packing. I believe this is the pinnacle of Fran ball - the best that Coach Clipboard can do. I would expect that we will annually get drubbed by a non-conference team considered to be of roughly equal caliber, and within the conference we will not consistently beat the likes of tceh. I beleive we'll continually be looking for an identity as a team. I believe we will never see a dominate defense under Fran - it's simply not hs nature.

I've heard the comparision beofre and I tend to agree with it - Fran is our John Mackovic experiment.
