It only took me about 2 minutes to get to the football forums. I actually feel for these guys. Imagine how bad we felt during the Shula era. But you got to remember that we were very seldom ever blown out during those bad years. At least we could hold on to the hope that our team could make a comeback in the 4th quarter (not that it ever happened but at least we only lost by a few points). A&M fans had no such glimmer of hope. At the end of the 3rd quarter everyone but the most dim witted knew that the game was over and it was going to be bad. Here's hoping that the AD at A&M fires Fran at the end of this game.
You feel bad for them? I take it you were not doing the message board thing in the days leading up to the TAM hiring of Franchione.
Personally, I feel like these guys got exactly what they deserved in the end. I can't count the number of times I'd see an Ag come onto BAMA forums and tell us that they were going to get our coach and there was nothing we could do about it. The number of times they informed us that they were "big money" and always got what they wanted. Not to mention the whole, "you stole our coach, so we're stealing yours" thing that was going on.
Then they continued to come to BAMA forums to rub our noses in it after the fact.
I for one, am enjoying every minute of this one tonight. Just like I enjoyed that 77-0 beatdown they received a few years ago. Just like I've revelled in all their losses since that scumbag hopped a flight to College Station.
Texas A&M did us a favor in the long run, but that doesn't excuse what Franchione did, or the behavior of their fanbase during the process IMHO. You feel bad for them so I won't have to.
BAMA fans put up with a lot of sh** from those people over Franchione. I'm not sorry for them. It's karma.
