How many times has some sport's coach heard this?

It is almost like your supervisor calling you from the personnel office for a quick meeting.

I caught the tail end of the story where he said "I have no intention of resigning" on the 6pm sports on KTVT and wondered what it was all about.

Yeppers, the old kiss of death alright.

Wonder if TCU would hire him back if Patterson were to go elsewhere in the next 2 years?

Can you imagine the uproar in Aggieville when Fran sends the team out gameday in Black uniforms?

On Saturday, A&M introduced their living head coaches before the game. The pleas for Stallings, Slocum and even Sherrill to coach the game were deafening. Someone asked Stallings near us what would happen if he was coach. He laughed and said "I promise you we'd have a hell of a defense."

I've never seen a crowd more against a coach, and if the AD and other officials didn't notice the derisive "hssss" Fran got after a pooch kick and the sarcastic applause after every deep pass (imagine what a dozen or so of us did to Dickey times 6,000), they probably were too distracted by Bill Byrne's award winning commitment to turning the women's sports teams around.

There's also a lot of chatter at Rivals about impending doom for Franny the Tranny. I hope he stays.

There's rumors that Jimmy Johnson was looknig at property in CS last week. How funny would that be?

What a sad year for the Big 12... couldn't happen to a "nicer" bunch of teams...

HI-Larrryous!

No kidding. What a cluster. Wheels are loosening at UT, as well.

UT is on shaky ground and has a QB who probably needs to not be playing but has no coach with the stones to hold him out

OU had a very embarrassing loss to CU and will have to answer questions quickly to not fall off the map

OSU had the rant and a loss to Troy. They are 1-11 in road games under the third van Gundy brother

Tech fired a coordinator with a brain cancer stricken wife and mike Leach continues to throw his team under the bus at every opportunity. Luckily the fans are mostly too drunk and stupid to notice as long as they beat A&M.

A&M is its own mess, with a crappy, overrated QB declaring that he will "die" for a coach who won't survive the season. Does that mean they can take McGhee with him and then put that Johnson kid in? He looks like a freaking beast...a non crack-head's Vince if you will

Baylor squeaks by powers like Texas State and cannot catch a pass to save their lives.

Iowa State has lost to a I-AA school and Kent State, and the big win over Iowa is looking more hollow every week. It's weird that Texas assistants can't coach once they leave - it's almost like they line up the most talent and pray it works, like when you run the same 5 offensive plays and a base defense agaisnt crappy teams in NCAA for XBOX

KSU has the most positive energy of any team except for maybe...

Kansas, who is #3 in offense and defense with a schedule that would make Texas Tech blush

Colorado - one win over OU would look better without a struggling OT victory over CSU and ass kickings by FSU and ASU

Mizzou has a god awful defense that will probably be their undoing in a stronger than expected North. They also have to visit OU (I'll be there)

Nebraska escaped an average Wake Forest team and Ball State by the skins of their taint and were pummeled by USC - which is no fault, but they shouldn't look worse than Idaho doing it.

They are no Sun Belt, but to quote an ASU player talking to the fans after week one, "You guys are seriously Big 12?"
