Just read about Franchione and the news he may accept a buyout. What about Brown, is he getting any heat in Texas? I know he has a national title but he has to get some heat with the way they have played lately. If KU goes in and thrashes Oki St. I would think it would get even worse. Being a KU follower I know they are pretty good and should beat Oki St. but Texas just seems as though they should perform better on a consistent basis.

TExas fans were booing in Austin vs NU 2 weeks ago, booing the offensive playcalling. By accident they figured out NU couldnt defend the zone read, you thinK? A&M just the week before had slaughtered NU with it, the QB had 38 carries. Texas QB goes out because of injury, they run one zone read with the backup, it goes for 10-15 yards. The first teamer comes back in and they run it again, same result, then they did what every other team that has run the play vs NU this year, they crushed us with it. I guess they didnt watch the A&M, Ball State or Missouri Films. Inthe 4th quarter Charles had 216 yards rushing, yes in one quarter, mainly on one play, yes the zone read. You would almost think it was a trick quesitons.

Try the SEC West.
There is a better than average chance that Ole Miss and Arkansas will most certainly be looking for new coaches. Tuberville's name has been thrown around as A&M's top choice. Les Miles' name has been thrown around for the Michigan job.

Big 12 has four teams in the BCS top 15. Oklahoma, Kansas, Mizzou, and Texas. SEC only has 3 teams in the BCS top 15. Is the Big 12 the toughest conference in college football?? ;D

Didn't know their was a franchione at Blinn? Doesn't every D1 kid in Texas and Ok. that can't make grades attend Blinn? Sounds like it would be a pipeline of success for A&M. I know good things happened at K-State when they pulled Bishop out of there.

Brad Franchione is the son of Dennis, who was hired a year or two ago to be the HC at Blinn.
And, yes, it was MEANT to be a pipeline straight to A&M

I am from Bryan/College Station and I miss the good old days of A&M always being in the top 25. Before that wanker Greg Hill got caught taking money. (I say got caught because I am a realist and I know what goes on). That suspension from bowl games and stigma hurt our recruiting during the mid-90s, I believe. A&M is FINALLY beginning to become competitive again.
I wonder if Paul Johnson would take a job at A&M.......

I wonder if Paul Johnson would take a job at A&M....... As a Husker fan, I hope not! Paul Johnson is a southern guy, so maybe aTm has a better chance than Nebraska, but I really don't see him ending up in the Big 12. I think an ACC school is more likely.

Being a Big 12 north guy I used to hate all of the Texas schools. Then had some buddies a couple of years ago travel down to A&M for a K-State game (mid life crisis road trip?) with no place to stay. Ran into a group of older A&M fans as they were tailgating at the end of the game. They were offered a place to stay for the night and fed non-spot beer and food. Thought that was pretty cool. So I now I hate all of the Texas schools except A&M, I just dislike them! Before you ask, yes A&M did win. Nice people in Texas, in Kansas we would have just sent you across the state line to hang out with that other group we hate!

Well, my Parents live in Hearne now so I get a free room whenever I want to visit. It's only about 20 miles from town. (30 to the field).
