by Orson on Oct 1, 2007 12:50 PM EDT

Staying, my pretties. Excelsior!

Maybe aTm will hire the fucking ‘Nanny’ Fran Drescher so they can keep the url.

Cant you just see her

annoying voice ‘Jorvorskie, stop eating all the food and go run the ball’

Wonder if the day’s resignations include the bright guy who had his corners play 10 yards off the ball against a west coast style passing game run by WR’s who couldn’t get open and a QB who had issues forcing the ball into coverage…

You guys just made me shudder by imagining her voice.

Off topic but ran accross this on SMQ: http://www.wvgazette.com/section/Sports/WVU/2007092945

This blasphemy has to be grounds for execution.

And for probably $5 million a year plus a lifetime supply of Little Debbie snack cakes, there’s this guy in Tuscaloosa who woudl love to coach your team. Hell, I think there’s even a moving company who remembers the route!

As a reporter who has to go through hoops and never gets through those damn HIPPA laws about injuries, Coach Fran should be canned immeaditely. He broke the law. And he doesn’t help that his team sucks.

…now go and do that voodoo that you do so well!!!

P.S. That’s Hedley

Re #6: At least Fran Drescher would know enough to give the damn ball to Lane — and that automatically makes her a better coaching candidate than aTm’s current Coach Fran.

that used car salesmen would go for $4.1 mil

and I hope he does. just to see the look on their faces.

How much is Fran charging for that ‘my resignation is bunk’ information, Orson?

Hiring Nanny Fran would also be worthwhile for the reality show you could do about her adjusting to life in College Station: "Oh my Gaaawwwd! What are those boys with the crew cuts doing squeezing their own balls?

DevilGrad, that was the funniest thing I’ve read here in a while. You also think she would want to trade in Reveiile for a Chihuahua, so that hse could carry it in her purse?

Edsall is God, he might not have necessarily violated HIPAA with those disclosures. We’ll have to see. What’s more problematic for Franbone is the fact that he might have failed to disclose the revenue from the Secret Franny Club Newsletter.

Well, the “reliable sources” say he stays put…

Is there any gambling ties to this deal with Fran?

Keep Fran! Please!

Maybe I am nuts, but Fran Dresher looked good to me…oh..about 10 years ago…which made up somewhat for that voice….but now, I do not know….

Rumor: I’m tight and right.

Where would you be without wishful thinking?

Speaking of which, Tubby would make a fine replacement for Fran.

by Etch Westgrin on Oct 1, 2007 2:37 PM EDT reply actions

Who resigns at 4-1? Iffy at best.

There are 5 jobs that Tubby will take if offered. A&M is one of them.

SKLM, I was weighing her voice vs. her looks as far back as This is Spinal Tap. I think that might have been the start of my ballgag fetish, to be honest.
