2007 Texas A&M Football: Dennis Franchione’s Bizarre Unraveling

Ten years is a lifetime in college football. In 2007, there were college football games on Versus, Kansas won a BCS bowl, and Baker Mayfield was just starting his freshman season at Texas Tech.

Kidding! But it was certainly the most chaotic season in recent history. Almost everywhere you looked, unexpected and bizarre storylines and subplots were unraveling. Traditional powerhouses like Florida State and Alabama puttered to 7-6 finishes. Nebraska and Miami had losing seasons a handful of years after playing for the title. There was a 2-loss national champion.

In College Station, Dennis Franchione made the most of his final season, by which we mean he packed it full of enough bullshit, desperation, and bland platitudes to infuriate the most patient of Aggie Football fans.
