Oh, College Football, Why Do You Taunt Me So?

The day after losing a football game pretty darn decisively, there can be some fairly embarrassing headlines for sports stories. A sample (without links [except for the one I think is really pretty good]--if you want them, you can find them on Texags):


"Miami outclasses No. 20 A&M"

"A&M blown away in Miami"


"A&M gets flattened at Miami"

"A&M still suffers from stage fright"

"Aggies trip on big stage again"

And, worst of all:

"A&M-barrassed"


Oh, and veering off-topic onto some much-needed ranting . . . this isn't a headline, merely a quote from our OWN HEAD COACH: "We just got beat," coach Dennis Franchione said. "We got beat by a better team."

WHAT?!? Say it was an off night, that we had it in us to win, but our O-line or our special teams or something--anything--just didn't quite perform up to par. It doesn't have to be true! You're admitting that a team that got SHELLACKED by your DIVISION RIVAL Oklahoma is just plain better. C'mon, man! Coachspeak! Can't you do ANYTHING right?!

In case you're wondering, Fran, our truce is over. I officially hate you so, so bad again now. OFFICIALLY.
