Which we agree he did before being pulled from the game. My argument is "Don't be stupid". I'm not sure right now if he can do that. I hope he has received the appropriate amount of punishment from KDS that he gets that, now. But I'm skeptical.
At first, I wanted him to STFU and play the game. Now, after all the ESPN/sip arse hurt and the effect it is having on the entire landscape, I want JFF to shite talk on EVERY DAMN PLAY. But, just enough to piss them off, and not enough to to draw a flag. Talk your shite and walk. Don't ask for more. AND WIN!!!! KDS needs to teach JFF how to stay right on the edge of taunting so as not to draw a flag, but encourage the fire. That is a HUGE weapon that will drive the other guys insane.

Personally I am not getting worried until we see a decline on this barometer:
That is exactly what ALL THIS shite is about. That's why we're being painted as the bad guys. We're hurting some entitled little shits in Austin and Norman, among other places. If you try to play good guy and calm everything down, it has the opposite effect. I hope our admins have learned that by now. This is not the time to go on an apology tour. Our attitude MUST be that it's our got damn birthright to beat the frick out of everybody and win all the rest of the NC until the end of time. No nice guys. frick everybody. Yeah, we worship Satan. Still gonna beat your asses.

Right?
I mean, Time Magazine guys. Johnny is the most famous Aggie ever. We need to back him now to milk him later.

I don't mean to be stupid, but what does that even mean?
As for Time, great. Good pic, good recognition... I guess. But (no surprise) I'm not a "all publicity is good publicity" guy. How does the article "It's Time to Pay College Athletes" help A&M in any way? I can't see that JFF being the posterboy for this "movement" is helpful to the school. If anything it asks the NCAA to pay more attention to possible A&M infractions.

Because it helps legitimize A&M's place among the "helmet" teams.
As bad as our brand got in the 00's (getting confused with Tech for fricks sake) there is much further we can go before we will be overexposed.

You know Alabama fans are privately laughing their asses off over the "exposure" bit, right?
I'm all for national exposure. I don't see what embracing "Thug U" has to do with any of that. A&M didn't achieve its current level of success through personal foul penalties or NCAA infractions.

No, see. THIS is the wrong way to think. We do it every damn time. We are so fricking afraid of bad press that we will hide in a corner a pee ourselves instead of raping everybody with a shite eating, frick-you smile on our faces. Until now. All publicity IS good publicity. You think Madonna and Axle Rose would have straightened up if it was really going to help?
What is hard for most Aggies to accept is that no matter how good and nice and respectful we are, we will be hated forever. Aggies are like a battered wife. They beat us down and we think it's our fault.
frick THAT!!!
We cheated like a motherfricker and we are paying millions to our players now. Johnny got paid 10 million for those fricking autographs and STILL GETS TO BEAT YOUR ASSES ON SATURDAY.
We are classless. We are assholes. We kick puppies for fun. We leave the got damn toilet seat up. Love us. Hate us. Just don't ignore us, because THAT is when we fail.

Its about realizing the path to greatest exposure is by playing the villain.

The personal fouls were uncalled for, but the NCAA infractions never happened.
That is the problem. Everyone wants to say JFF is a problem. Maybe last season when he got arrested, but honestly he has been pretty clean since then. But ESPN is making him to be a monster.
If we cared about our image we crafted prior to JFF and the SEC we would have cut him from the team already. The fact that we aren't shows that we aren't accepting their version of the story, which just invites them to take further licences in the future.
Either we accept where they take the story, or we quit.

I get this from my wife all the time, and I'm not about to argue with Spencer Nealy.
I don't think we're as far off as when we started. I just want to see our QB complete a game on the team's own terms rather than be pulled out by the coach. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Really? Why did he sit the first half, then?

Every great team has thugs.
Hell, every team period has them.
Its just a matter of if the media wants to splash them all over the airwaves or not.
As long as ESPN tries to over hype up a bunch of mostly meaningless bullshite fluff we may as well embrace the black hat they have crowned us with.
step back for a minute and think
has JFF actually done anything truly thugish?
Talking shite to a Rice player is about the thuggiest thing they can come up with. Not only is he simply doing the things he did last year that ESPN once portrayed as unbridled passion for the game, their golden god Tebow got a far worse taunting penalty in the BCS national title game. Were there shrieks of horror then? Nope.

we didn't get the ball back until there were like 2 minutes left.
Sure Sumlin says he wasn't going to take him out until then but at most he would have simply been handing the ball off by the time he returned.
instead Sumlin gets to ride his arse over something that was ultimately harmless having zero effect on the game and actually aided the "us against the world" mentality the team seems to have adopted b/c of the ridiculous overreaction by the media.

If the Republican party would grow a pair of balls and act the same way, we wouldn't be preparing our anuses for this huge 6 1/2 foot cock that's about to go in dry on the American public.
Tell me I'm wrong. You have got to take a stand. Everyone will test you, but if you stand up to them and rock the frick-you attitude, you get respect and the back the frick off.

I mostly agree with this. The obvious difference is Tebow did it in the last game of the year with the game well in hand, while Manziel did it in the first game of the year (also with the game well in hand, but that's irrelevant). Will he do this crap again tomorrow? (Actually now it's today - you lowlifes have kept me up way too late.) I don't know, do you? He's almost certainly not stupid enough to do that against Alabama, but what about, say, against Ole Miss in what could be a close game? Again, I don't know, but nothing would surprise me. Dumbass needs to get a grip.
Edited for partially drunk grammar.

If you're a TexAgs premium subscriber you can watch the interview, paraphrased here because I'm lazy:
Reporter: Would Johnny have come out of the game at that point anyway? (He actually seemed hopeful to me)
KDS: Nope.
I dunno why you guys minimize this. This can't happen again. The team has a chance to do great things this year, and from my perspective you're hoping they frick it up.
