TOILET PAPER LAUNDRY SOAP!

The two most recent ex-coaches of the Alabama Crimson Tide wound up suffering humiliating defeats in last night’s college football action. Dennis Franchione’s Texas A&M squad got stomped flat by the ascending Utah Utes, 41-21, and it wasn’t that close. But for a last-second garbage TD, the game would’ve ended at a more representative 41-14. I saw most of the second half, and A&M looked dreadful–incompetent, unprepared, and slow. It was like watching a Nebraska bowl game from the early 90s.

Meanwhile, Mike Price, who is indirectly responsible for getting this blog more traffic than anyone else–including me–had a lousy debut at UTEP, losing 41-9 to Arizona State. However, nobody expects UTEP to be any good, now or ever. Still, Tide fans (which I am not) have good reason to feel a touch vindicated this morning.
