I noticed how the writer used Fran's death as an opportunity to take a shot at A&M:

Quote:

Despite the highest of hopes, Fran's era at A&M turned out to be like so many others there.

Sure, but he's not wrong.

I don't want to get all Panhandle Slim on you guys, but RC was the last guy to coach us to a conference championship game. If you are in school today, the last time we did that was before you were born.

TCU fans don't even like Mac Engle, and his name is automatically changed to "Big Steaming Pile" any time used or linked on their boards.

That doesn't mean he was wrong here.

He's not wrong, it's just a weird thing to shoehorn into an obituary.

That entire fiasco was kind of emblematic of Fran's tenure here.

All those loyal fans braved the elements to get tickets to the bowl game only to have some freak disrupt the orderly distribution of tickets and then suffer an ass-kicking from Tennessee. What a moment in time.

We were just watching North by Northwest with the family last month, and commented that she is still alive, couldn't believe it back then, a true loss from the golden age of Hollywood

On The Waterfront is a pretty good movie. That Brando scene where "I coulda been a contendah, instead of a bum which is what I am." was excellent.

Eva Marie Saint, star of 'North by Northwest' and 'On the Waterfront,' dies at 102

Interesting tidbit at the bottom of the article:

Quote:

Thomas, a former Associated Press Hollywood correspondent who died in 2014, was the primary writer of this obituary.

Any celebrity over the age of 70 probably has an obit ready to go at major news outlets.

Oh, I agree. But this one was written over twelve years ago and outlived the author.

I didn't know who this was. When I googled him, I was surprised to learn he actually did have CP. I thought it was just - you know - acting.
