Nah. Not even. I'm old as shite.
Guess I just don't buy into the schtick that in order for my team to succeed, others should fail.
Carry on.

Just a bit over the top, but I liked this comment in the linked article:

"The NFL and I have never seen anything like Johnny Football."

Amen. I sure as hell never have. The entire season was filled with "WTF did he just do?" moments.
Actually, I think the linked article nailed it with the comaprison to Doug Flutie. Manziel's game is very similar to Flutie's, which is not a bad thing.

And I'm sorry....but if you can sit here tell me you don't get any enjoyment out of watching Texas fail miserably the last couple of years than I'm gonna claim your pants are on fire.

I'd say he's more mobile/elusive than Flutie but hasn't (yet) shown the same touch on long balls. But Flutie is as close a comparison as anybody. You're liable to get kicked out of the club for this post that kinda sorta compliments a non-Tiger, but I guess you already considered that.

No way I or other Aggies can honestly do that. Texas failures are a win, no doubt about it. But I really don't get the hate in brand new rivalries, other than I'm beginning to understand that LSU fans here hate everybody including LSU. FWIW, if Bama wins Sep 14 then I'm pulling for them all the way. If A&M beats Bama and loses to LSU in Death Valley I'll pull for LSU through the NC game. A lot of LSU fans here seem to think that's a pussy attitude, and I don't get it.

That is all fair. I don't think it is fair to compare JFF to Wilson and say Wilson was more polished and such because JFF was just a freshman this past year and has a lot of time to "polish" before the NFL would be there.
I like your boat. I'm getting on it.
