Coach fran is a joke. This is how you start it out, you run jtrian for the first quarter then tire out the pass rush then you run the damn roll out pass. Fran has no concept to handle the talent he has on that team. I think he has a playbook with like 4 plays. They really need to teach Mcgee how to run an audible, if you don't change the play when there is an 8 man rush you have now idea what football is. Change it up move to a shot gun and and run 2 cross slants, 1 on 1 coverage should be easy.

Plus j-train has 19 touchdowns and what do they do on the 3, run 3 roll out passes in a row, wtf was that. Put that 280 lb. tail back strait up the gut. A&M should have won that game. Well at least the d'fence somewhat fixed their crap for the second half, offense was lackluster, bad playcalling, crap. Fire fran and get a coach thats worth his 2 million dollar payckeck.

Yeah, they should just hand the ball off to J-train all game, all the time. It is quite comical watching players bounce off of him.

Wow, what a heart breaker. I understood kicking the FG early in the 4th (i'd take the points also) but the 2nd field goal was just ridiculous. Texas has one of the best run stopping defenses in the nation but slowing that kid down is just about impossible in terms of short yardage. I sure am glad they lost though. If Texas wins at K-state, the Texas vs. A&M game means just about nothing in terms of a BCS Bowl Berth. I've all but ruled out a N/C shot against tOSU as a one loss SEC team is much more deserving then we are to be there...our conference totally sucks. In fact, the only major conference that sucks worse then the Big 12 is the ACC. I hope that OU doesn't get smacked down by the NCAA or the Big 12 is really going into the tank.

Who is on suicide watch for Coach Fran?

Big East is not that bad. PAC-10, I may have to agree with you there.

The Big 12 is looking sorry though.

I can't believe Ags are calling for Frans head. This is only his 2nd loss (and both very close games) against two very good teams. A vast improvement over last year. It came down to a card game between Fran and Stoops and Stoops won. I mean, what do you expect with one coach on one side of the field has 2 national championship rings (1 from Florida as defensive coordinator), 3 conference titles; and the other has ????

The last field goal was definitely a no-***** act. But Fran was obviously respecting the OU defense and with good reason. He was also gambling that he would get the ball back and get it into field goal position. And he was almost right. But almost don't cut it. Stoops obviously had more confidence in his team to go for it on 4th and inches, and confidence won.

Also, the bad playing calling went both ways and cancelled each other out IMO. When Stoops called for the onsides kick in the 1st quarter, that was a very bad decision. Nobody does an onsides kick unless you have to!

OU handed that touchdown as a gift to A&M with the onsides kick and the 15 yard unsportman like penalty. Merry Christmas!

At that point in the game, its unlikely that they could have drove the ball all the way from the other end of the field to score their only touchdown of the game! That lateral that they tried only worked once.

Ags need to face that they played a great game, they just came up short. No woulda, coulda, or shouldas about it

Big East? I think you have 2 pretty ok teams there, and then a seaboard of mediocre schools... I guess that's pretty similar to Big 12 play these days! I've always wanted to test the might of the Big East, unfortunately their big 2 programs don't get alot of weighty cross conference play early in the season (much like the Big 12) so it's hard to gauge a Louisville 8-0 vs a Michigan 10-0, or Ohio St 10-0, or maybe even a Texas 9-1 or SEC "X"-1 at this time in the season. The polls seem to favor the strength of the Big East, but I often wonder if that trust is misplaced.

I mean White and Slaton are doing wonderful things for that program, and Louisville "looks" like a well balanced team (has for a few seasons now), but ever since Miami and Vtech left the conference (legal BS has them knee deep in **** now...) you have to feel that the competition in the Big East has been watered down quite a bit. It makes teams like your WV and Louisville, which previously were top 25 regulars, turn into top 10 teams simply b/c they are leading one of the BCS conferences.

I know, I know, the Big 12 hasn't really held it's own lately but even in the slump of the new decade, they usually represent themselves well against the other conferences come bowl time, which gives a little more shine to the strength of Big 12 conference play. I think the East and 12 champs would be a good matchup this year (supposing they stay outside the national title picture), although with the way the bowls are structured that won't happen anytime in the near future...

If I was an aggie fan I would want to ditch Fran asap.

Don't settle for three loss seasons when the team you want to be on the same level as has lost only 2 games over the past 2 seasons and the current one.

I can't make a case for the Big 12 over the Big East right now. Maybe after the bowl season. Remember though, WV did cream Georgia in 05. The cards beating Miami means nothing, Miami is a joke now. Guess the only consistent big time conference is the SEC. That's how it has been and probably how it will always be.

I am just pissed that Fran did not use what won him games. A&M has a good running game that was not used to the extent that it needed to be, it is the best strength of that offense. Plus Mcgee kept dropping out of the pocket (other than rollout passes). It just makes me sad b/c the years I went there we won the big 12 among other things. Fran is just way to passive to be a college coach. Guess I was used to RC (at least RC beat OU and Texas).

As for the 15 yard marry christmass thing, we wont mention the 3 offensive stances from 3rd and 30.
