Every Alabama fan has a surmountable disgust for former Tide Coach Dennis Franchione, who is kindly knicknamed ‘Abandione’ around these parts. And knowing that there is so much bitterness between ‘Bama fans toward Franchione as he is working out his program back in Texas at A&M, there is nothing sweeter than seeing that pathetic man lose… despite talking heads feeling that it would be a cake-walk for A&M:
But the loss is even better when TA&M (3-0) is ranked, and they lose to an unranked team… the Miami Hurricanes. Now, most ‘Bama fans hate Miami… but when things are close and personal and involve a conniving man who slips out of his contract and leaves a team without any hint, Miami is given a pardon… as well as a HUGE ‘way to go!’ to the ‘Canes for knocking out Franchione. Sorry to all you boys that play football for him, but this isn’t business… it’s personal.
UPDATE: Over at my favorite new ‘Bama website, ChurchofSaban.com, the Reverend Doctor has given a great perspective of Coach Fran, as well as showing off the latest ‘Leave Coach Fran Alone’ video off of YouTube. RD’s words?
However, you should not feel hate for him, as he was a necessary evil that had to move aside to make way for the Great Saban. It is written, “Fools and children shall come before me, but when I arrive, the flux shall be at an end.� (Book of Moore, 1:8). Let him cry into his sports bra in peace, as without his folly, the Great Saban could not have arrived.
It’s only appropriate to leave you with the ‘Leave Coach Fran Alone’ video. Thanks CoS for the fabulous video, whether produced or discovered…

Sister in Saban,
We cannot take credit for this video. It was, indeed, something we discovered. We do feel for our Maroon brother who made this video, though, and hope that the pain of being burdened by the One With Supple Breasts will be alleviated for him very quickly.
