re: As the jar cracks - Johnny Manziel's downfall is upon us

Now he's an alcoholic?

I would say a Heisman Trophy winner who is under age and has been asked time and time again not to drink in public but who chooses to ignore that advice has a problem.
Go Aggie

He's a Big 12 fan, let him dream.

Jm is dirty and you know it. Hope he plays though. Then what kind of excuses will you have when you lose 3 games this year? Johnny was so distressed?

Pretty nice little fantasy world you have there. Dreaming up scenarios for how the season plays out can be fun. Of course the danger lies when all those dreams dont work out. for example, many longhorns got upset last year when A&M had a terrific 1st SEC campaign. And mud holed the Big12 co-champ in the Cotton Bowl.

If I were you, I'd spend more time dreaming up a fantasy where tu doesn't get rolled in the RRS game for the 3rd year in a row. Did you see the game? I thiught it was just precious how they just laid down on the field like that.

I can't defend the play of the Horns vs OU. Its an abomination the past 3 years. And A&M had a terrific season last year and I think your heads have swelled because of it. It felt so good to you because of your mediocre past that you are willing to allow JFF to continue to embarrass your school and add to your school's history of fricking up a ball bearing. It really is understandable why so many of you are in denial about this guy.

Until you judge your own program with the same holier than thou bullshite, spare us.

Jordan Hicks broke team curfew, drank underage at a nighclub, raped a girl, and received no punishment whatsoever (well, technically he was suspended for the Alamo Bowl but he was already declared out injured). Your coach (with a pregnant wife at home) fricked a student who worked for him. He got a promotion. Another coach had a 3-year affair with a student and paid for her room and board, essentially pay for play. All of this has come out in the last, what, 9 months? I'm sure the stern talking to they got fully satisfied you.

The idea that Manziel is even in the same hemisphere is a joke but you show no shame while casting stones at him for drinking in public and signing autographs. All the while trying desperately to change the subject. Just go away.

There was no rape and Hicks didn't even have sex with the girl.

As for the rest of the garbage you mentioned, since you name no names, its kinda hard to comment on.

Now how did A&M punish RC Slocum when his wife threw his suitcase on the practice field after she found out he was fricking his secretary?

But we are both deflecting from the subject at hand, Johnny Mother-fricking Football. Let's stay on subject. I won't go away. I like discussing football with my fellow Texans.

Xs and Os is discussing football. This is just off season filler and gossip driven by ESPN. But if The NCAA wants to punish JFF then it would mean that they have evidence of wrongdoing. Until then it is just a bunch of smoke and sour grapes. But he is not bigger than the program. We have other players. I'll have no problem with it. You would be surprised that most Aggies feel the same way.

Mongoose with a Zinger!

Pal, if you think Johnny is not an alkie, you're head has been in the sand.

If you think Johnny is an alcoholic you never went to college. An 18-22 year old drinking multiple nights a week is pretty much the norm everywhere. I can't remember a time in undergrad where I went an entire week without drinking.

By the way, my info about that came from a Century Club member who also is a collegiate baseball umpire and knows a lot of he Aggie baseball players. I took his word for it.

WHOAH, a college baseball umpire? Well frick me sideways, you've got some hardcore fricking evidence there poncho

fricking kill yourself

Johnny plays very well under pressure. I think last year some of the players around him made him that much better. I think Swope was a beast and is going to be hard to replace. It will be interesting to see Johnny play with some different guys and see if he can play with the same level of skill and intensity he did last year.
