Aggie Football

I quit blogging 3 years ago when Dennis Franchione's ability to be a successful coach at Texas A&M was still in question. The Jury is in, he has been a failure. 5 years ago at the end of this season RC Slocum was fired. He as the winningest coach in Texas A&M history and the 3rd winningest active coach in college football. He had some weaknesses, but his strengths were legendary. Fran has had 5 years to prove he could do better and it isn't even close. It is time to Fire Dennis Franchione at the end of this season. His best year out of 5 in only slightly better than RC's worst years at A&M.

Bring back RC. That is the best choice, but will probably never happen. At least maybe we can find someone to take our program back to the previous level and hopefully above that. Dennis Franchione may be a good man, and he is a pretty good coach. But he is clearly not what we expected when he was hired, and clearly not in RC Slocum's league.

President

You look at the field of Republican candidates for president and you quickly see something. Most of them are only marginally different from the democrats. They are all telling you how many dollars they are going to spend and what their fiscal priorities are. They always forget to mention that it is your money. It has been stolen from you under the threat of prison and then "the government" decides how to spend it. Basically they have ignored the real problem. Our government is way too big.



There is one candidate who stands so far above the rest that he seems unreal. That man is Dr. Ron Paul Here is someone what has a 20+ year track record in Congress and has been consistently doing what he says for that long. His nickname is Dr. No because he votes against so many spending bills. Check out his website and see for yourself how different he is. I know our country can not be saved by the political process, but Dr. Paul is definitely the man to start us moving in the right direction.
