re: An oral history of Billy Gillispie's time at Kentucky ft. a TD HOFer

Another thing that helped him at A&M is we were at the tail end of the Fran era in football, and Fran was a shady character himself (though not to the level of Billy Clyde) who didn't really win. I think most were just happy we were having success in basketball since football was in the middle of a rough era, that was certainly the feeling among myself and my friends who went to school during that time
