Comment Title: More of the Same
If the number of difference makers has shrunk from 33 when Fran left to 23 now, then how do you suppose, miller58, that A&M will win 10+ games this year. You've said that in numerous posts. If the talent is there (which according to you it isn't), how can A&M come up with those 10+ wins. Just curious. I'm still Obviously Fantastic to you, miller58.

Comment Title:
You still around miller58? How 'bout that great recruit Chavis that Fran signed? Never really panned out, did he? Sorta like a lot of those "difference makers" Fran signed. Maybe Fran just couldn't evaluate talent. Ever thought of that, miller58. And we're still waiting to hear your response to that $64 Million Question: Do you think Fran's tenure at A&M was a success? If it was, then how is that you label the last ten years of Aggie football such a disaster given that five of those season's were Fran's. And if Fran's tenure was not successful, then why do you defend him so much? I know you still think I'm Obviously Fantastic!!!! Thanks for your continued support. Donations are welcomed.

Comment Title: A&M's CURRENT NATIONAL PUBLICITY?
My personal opinions:_____Last years great days of 4W-8L, 7 blow out losses and Arkansas State, and last place, are behind us, according to an article on four teams rising and four teams declining?_____Mike Sherman's Texas A&M is one of the teams reported to be going into a decline this year._____To summarize comments in the article include the impact felt at A&M when Billy clyde was fired at Kentucky after two years, amd how A&M big supporters aren't going to put up with football in last place for long?_____I hope we soon have a great coach that this time "gets" winning college football games and "gets" winning recruiting of top commits?_____I hope he doesn't "get" A&M's good ole boys, that have led us to lose more than 4 games out of every 10 played against big 12 teams, since we first joined the Big 12 in the mid 90's!_____miller58
