12th Man Goes Too Far
The Texas A&M Aggies are taking this 12th man thing a little to far. Not only does Dennis Franchione make one of the worst coaching decisions of the season by any coach above the pee-wee leagues by kicking a field goal from the 3-yard-line but he also tried a little trickery on the last play of the game. He added the now too well-known 12th man directly on the field. The sad part? It was too little, too late.
The good news is Texas Tech game this week was much easier since it was played 11-on-11. Last week it was Texas Tech vs. Texas + the refs. You see what a good offense can do when they aren’t outmanned. However, the bad news is the refs were relocated to the Michigan/Ball State game. Now be it far from me to say that Ball State would have won the game if the refs hadn’t blown the last call but it sure would have been nice to know for sure.
University of Tennessee running back Arian Foster and his road side detail buddies were arrested late Saturday night (early Sunday) after their loss to LSU. Looks like the UT players are back up to their old tricks. Someone please tell them that just because they wear orange doesn’t mean they have to act like criminals.
