blairprovence | Aack, Miami

Having grown up in Oklahoma during the 80's, I had been programmed with a large share of Miami hate, on behalf of OU. And then I stopped liking OU at all and I'd let it go, mostly, because for some reason no team I liked seem to play them after that. I believe this has something to do with the dissolution of the Big 8. (?) Anyway, I did have a bit of residual enjoyment when OU shellacked them by, like, 40 points earlier in the season. It boded well for A&M, I thought.

It didn't. REALLY.

I did get to meet some people from the OK A&M club, though, and there was only one obnoxious OU fan in the bar to rub our noses in it. Methinks Fran might not be long for head coach. I've never liked the way he came to us, treating his Alabama players so meanly, but that's coaches these days, it seems. (Billy Gillispie) Maybe it's time for Fran to go. I wonder how long he has left on his contract? And I wonder if we'd have to stomach a few bad years after?
