Yes you are right it wasn't all Manziel but he put a&m back on the map and yes I would like to see those numbers as well

Suppose there are no sanctions and Johnny plays throughout the year. I think it's obvious that there are going to be many many people are constantly going to be looking at Johnny to see if there is any wrongdoing. I do not believe that he can keep his nose clean for a full season without any issue whatsoever

Thank you for posting the gif. Incredible.

No that the thank you is out of the way, you are dead wrong on the presumed excitement from Bama fans. Most either really want him to play (like me) or don't care one way or the other. Any "excited" bama fan is in the extreme minority. We don't want A&M and other fan bases to continue making excuses like, "if Colt hadn't been hurt", "if Murray spikes the ball there", "If johnny hadn't been suspended".

Shite happens. You play the games with the players you have available. I hope Manziel is one of those players for A&M on 9/14.

Just curious...would $20 for his autograph on something that was worth $10 before he signed it and then is sold for $100 be a fair amount to allow Johnny HandCock to make as a fee?




































Now do the math
$20 X 1650 items signed in one sitting = $33,000
S100 X 1650 items to be sold on ebay = $165,000


If he did get that much, how much of it did he offer to Swope for getting to an open spot in the Alabama endzone and catching the ball that tops the JFF highlight footage?

I don't know if it's that simple to blow off Shane. Especially if JFF or his camp denied it ever happening. Even if they didn't get caught lying to the NCAA, if true, it is one more piece of evidence confirming the original story, which would lend credibility to the whole story. Certainly isn't a smoking gun, but it's supportive of the allegations.

That rule is stupid IMO. Texas a&m has made millions off of him but he can't make a couple bucks signing autographs....wow



While I do somewhat agree that the players need to be compensated a little more, but I thought Manziel's family was loaded with oil money, so why would he need the cash?

That is the marquee home game for us.

I have people coming in from all over for that game. We still have Florida, but most consider the A&M game the better of the two.

But, obviously, w/o Manziel, it won't carry the same weight.

Boy, Bama's schedule gets weaker than Boise St. by the day. They're gonna have to run promos for the LSU game for 2 fricking months.

I don't care about JFF playing a full season just as long as he plays against Bama.

Unless of course you lost, in which case the "he should have been suspended" cries come out.

Already saw how the 'we want him to play' until you lose crowd handles that one.
