Re: Delusion If memory serves me correctly when Francioni (spelling) coached at A&M they said he was a better recruiter than Mack and a better game day coach than Stoops. Anybody remember that?
Remember he was “Fran the Man”, the “Franchise”, “Frantastic”, and one more stupid phrase I can’t remember.
Sorry guys, but that link was pure humor and sarcasm at aggy expense. I just stumbled across it couldn’t resist the coaching “Aggie Jokes”!!!
For a true football fan, that game was a thing of beauty to behold regardless of whom you were pulling for. Kind of like the old Snook Bluejays coming into Gregory Gym and putting on the finest basketball clinic ever seen in this or any other state. Flawless precision and impeccable execution of fundamentals of the game.
Hey, but some stupid aggie did make a stop at the goal line down 70-0 and got all excited. So there was that going for them.
Yep acted just like he just scored the game winner. I remember Dave South saying it was time for ou to take Heupel out of the game. Otherwise, aggy was not responsible for what happened to him. Of course it was about 35 to zip at the time. Aggy always keeps it classy.
I believe Fran and Stoops agreed at some point in the second half to let the clock run without stopping to limit ou opportunities to score and speed up putting lowly aggy out of their misery. Anyone else remember that?
Was listening to the game driving to Stillwater for our game. The OU radio guys mentioned it and confirmed that is what was happening. We got to damp, dreary Lewis Field and fell behind 16-7. Then we won 54-16. Winning road games is fun. Mack was really good at that. And bowl games. I went from calling him "the Tobacco Road Con-Man", to being the biggest Brown apologist around in less than a season . And I didn't even know about Sally's cookies at the time. Mack & Sally Brown Longhorn Royalty
Yep. Clock ran the whole 4th quarter, I think. OU was already up 77-0 at the end of 3. One of only a few games where the "that team could have hit 100" cliche was true. One other being our 70-3 win over Colorado that was achieved just 7 minutes after halftime.
Completely unrelated, but the yell leader on the left in that picture cracks me up. He doesn't look like he's charging onto a football field to lead a fired-up team into battle so much as he's running on stage to accept his Tony award.
That hotel will do well, until A&M pisses off Adams again. Aggie built their "never to be equaled country club", pissed off Adams, who then built Miramont, which is truly one of the crown jewels of Texas golf. Give the Aggies a chance to piss off Adams again, and he'll build a Four Seasons/Fairmont out there and empty the Aggie attempt to improve on Motel 6. After all, what does it take to be the best hotel in Brazos County: 1) Clean sheets 2) Clean towels 3) Hot water (running preferably) 4) Color TV
The only hotel I ever stayed in there had no heat in January and one of two elevators out of service. There were about a 700 of us there for a conference, so guess how one elevator worked out. I got lots of exercise that weekend climbing nine flights of stairs to my room. That dump was torn down within a year.
