Propeller Skies

Dennis Franchione is now officially Mike Leach’s bitch and the proud owner of a 1 and 3 record against the worst school in Texas.

Although I would like to see Mr. Franchione go, I have tried to be somewhat fair and balanced on this site. However, with the latest embarrassing loss to a second rate team, the time has come to end the charade. I realize Texas A&M will not play for a national championship, or for the Big 12 conference championship, every single year, but the losing has got to stop.

Mr. Franchione needs to be fired. Mike Leach embarrasses him every year wherever the game is played. Mack Brown bends Mr. Franchione over and pounds him in the ass with a dick big enough for a pachyderm every November. Finally, even the sorry Baylor Bears are routinely pushing the Aggies into overtime.

Gary Arnell (because the D is missing*) and his patented Pink Shirts (lack of) defense lost this game. In the grand old days under R.C. Slocum**, the Wrecking Crew defense would have won the game for Texas A&M. Mr. Arnell’s failure this week is made worse because Gary Patterson wrote an instruction manual on stopping the Red Raider offense a few weeks ago. As predicted, Mr. Arnell’s (lack of) defense was exposed in Big 12 conference play as shown by the following statistics:

• Points allowed per game increased to an average of 15.8 - good for eighth in the Big 12;
• Pass defense went in the toilet, with average passing yards allowed per game increasing to 180.4 - or over 50 more yards than the average last week;
• Rush defense improved to an average of 113.8 yards allowed per game - mostly because Texas Tech had so much success shredding the Aggie (lack of) pass defense they never bothered to run; and
• Total defense is a disappointing fifth in the Big 12 at 294.2 yards allowed per game.

notes:

* Thanks to recurring Propeller Skies commenter T. Martin for clueing me into that.
** I admit to thinking it was time for Mr. Slocum to hang it up and being enthusiastic about Mr. Franchione being hired as head coach. However, the last four years have proven me wrong - Mr. Franchione will never be half the coach that Mr. Slocum was.
