There are two camps in Aggieland, those that think Fran is "arguably the most prominent example of underachievement in the university's history" (most prominent in history? ouch!) and those that think he "deserves the chance to correct this latest gaffe. But the leash grows shorter every day." I am in the second camp. Big 12 play will be the deciding factor, especially considering our conference's (lack of) defense so far. The wall of shame includes...
  • Iowa State: gave up 36 in a loss to Toledo
  • Nebraska: gave up 40 in a 1 point win to Ball State, and 49 in a loss to USC
  • Texas: gave up 32 in a 3 point to over Central Florida
  • Tech: OSU hung 49 points on Tech
The first conference game is Baylor this Saturday, we are 17-point favorites.

I still flip-flop on if he should stay or go...this is his team now...all his guys...this year is a very big spot for him...how many more years do you give him if this year is not very good...he has said this is his best offense he's had right??? the defense is good but not solid but good enough up front to make noise...this program has fall far and struggles to get any attention like the 80's and real early 90's...I just hope what ever call is made it is the right one...and with Bill at the helm...he'll make it right.....

My guess is you all lose to Baylor and they fire Fran mid-way through the fourth quarter. It's not that he is a bad coach, it's just that he is under-utilizing the vast amounts of talent that are on your roster. Also, this is karma for the way he left Alabama.

Sincerely,

An Overly Optimistic Baylor Fan

PS - Why the hell are we on the Versus network? Can you tell me that this is not worthy enough to at least be on CSTV?
