Before I get rolling, let the record show that my being a part of ten consecutive Waikiki bar crawls was a nonfactor in getting this column off the ground. In fact, I resent any implication that my love of Mai Thais, the hula, surfing and the hula had any bearing on the argument I am about to make.
Rage, anger, sadness. And that’s just because we’ve only got a couple of weeks until the end of the season to go….
As expected, Dennis Franchione stepped down Friday night after Texas A&M’s regular season finale, a 38-30 upset of the rival Texas Longhorns. But before he did, he made sure that anyone who had not been paying attention knew that he was still the biggest scumbag in collegiate athletics since Dave Bliss.
Franchione was approached by ABC camera crews right after the conclusion of the game and was asked a few questions. His response to the final question was anything but shocking.
Hey all you Big Ten bashers! What’s your problem? You just don’t like success? Why do you keep picking on the greatest conference in college football?
Didn’t you know that with 43 out of 44 non-conference games played, the Big Ten has only lost 8 games? Of those 8, Michigan lost those two fluke games and 3 others were lost by Minnesota. This means only 3 other teams lost a non-conference game. Is that dominance or what?
Ron Zook for Coach of the Year? Michigan loses again? Goodbye Dennis Franchione? Alex Ferguson looks back at Week 11 of the college football season….
Week 10 already? Alex Ferguson talks about his highs and lows on the tenth week of the NCAA Division I-A college football season…
I’m still hurting over Penn State’s loss to the Buckeyes….That’s all I have to say…Alex Ferguson talks about his other feelings on another superb week for college football.
Alex Ferguson talks about his emotions — if you’d seen the Penn State-Indiana game and later, the LSU-Auburn game — after Week 8 of the College Football Season.
It all began at Indiana.
Three seasons ago, in the midst of a 4-7 campaign – the second of two straight losing seasons – a gritty Penn State defense stepped onto the field holding loosely to a 22-18 lead during the closing minutes of the fourth quarter.
A lesser known Paul Posluszny set back in his linebacker position and the underappreciated, almost unnoticed defense gave everything they could against a Hoosiers program looking for its first defeat of a Penn State team.
First and goal from the Penn State one yard line: stuffed for a loss. Repeat times two. Now, on a fourth and goal all the Hoosiers had to do was cross the goal line and they would be assured of a victory over the lowly Nittany Lions.
It never happened.
Down goes Cal! Down goes LSU! Alex Ferguson talks emotionally about Week 7 of the college football season….
