What does that mean?

[GlassHalfFull]

I think I know what Spec is referring to, and we really don't want to open that can of worms. It would totally derail a thread that deserves to stay on focus.

I was at the game last night and saw at least 2 Johnny F'ing Football moments.

I didn't want him winning the Heisman this year due to the distraction it could potentially cause for the next 3 years. However, with the way this season has played out, I don't see how he doesn't win it.

Christian Chavez of Kerrville, Texas, isn't shy about his support of Texas A&M quarterback and hometown hero Johnny Manziel's talents or his Heisman Trophy campaign.

When barber Rob "The Original" Ferrel of San Antonio, Texas, offered via Facebook to cut a portrait of Manziel into anyone's hair who was willing, Chavez leapt at the chance.

By the end of the day Wednesday, Chavez was sporting a reasonable likeness of the freshman phenom shaved into his scalp, along with Manziel's "Johnny Football" nickname and the Texas A&M logo.

Christian Chavez of Kerrville, Texas, was sent home from school for this haircut depicting Texas A&M freshman Johnny Manziel.
Chavez, 17, got a surprise when he arrived at Hill Country High School in Kerrville on Thursday. He said he was sent home by the school's principal and told not to return until he had Manziel's likeness removed.

"I love the haircut. I'm a big fan of Johnny. My parents love it, too. They like Johnny. My older brother played with Johnny," said Chavez, who shared practice time with Manziel on the same football field when he was a freshman and sophomore junior varsity player at Tivy High School, Manziel's alma mater.

Holy **** that TD he throws at the 1:00 minute mark looks like he's trying to do a GSP superman punch.

Johnny Football Haircut Gets Student in Hot Water at School

One student's expression of his love and adoration for Texas A&M's freshman phenom quarterback Johnny Manziel - a crazy haircut that featured Manziel's likeness - got the student in trouble at school.
The student, Christian Chavez of Kerrville, Texas, got the most amazing haircut we've ever seen from Rob the Original, a barbershop in San Antonio. The school wasn't too keen on it, however.
According to ESPN.com, Chavez said he was sent home from Hill Country High School and was told he couldn't return until the likeness was gone from his head.
ESPN.com got a statement from the school district's public relations specialist, who said the haircut violated the school's dress code, which says, "Hair must be clean and neatly groomed. Only natural hair colors are acceptable. Hairstyles that are distracting are not acceptable."
The PR specialist told ESPN.com that Chavez was placed in an area of school where he wouldn't distract other students with his haircut, and that he wasn't kicked out of school but rather left on his own "at an appropriate time and in an appropriate manner." The specialist also said the school wants Chavez to return to school tomorrow, and as long as his haircut is the same, he'll be placed in an area where he doesn't distract other students.
Chavez is planning to keep the haircut just a little while longer.
"Might as well keep it keep it tomorrow (Friday) and get it cut either Sunday or Monday. I thought I would be fine," he told ESPN.com. "I was surprised. My mom came and got me. She didn't like the fact they told me to go home."
That's too bad, because the haircut really is incredible.

Gig 'em!!!!.... Whoop!!!!

That said, I'm tired of the whole "Johnny Football" hype.... If the kid wins the Heisman, AWESOME! If not, he has a a couple more years to that...


That said, can we please quit with all the dumbass bull****? PLEASE????

[htownfan32]

Yeah, I seriously hope we don't turn into the Cult of David Ash/Colt McCoy/Vince Young like they have at UT. A friend of mine ran into David Ash and pretty much doubled over in orgasmic delight. I've heard people treat Johnny pretty normal around campus.
Seriously, though, isn't it great to have probably the best dual threat QB in the nation? Only Mariota comes close, and Mariota plays in the PAC-12.

I didn't get to see the game last night, but I heard they made him look human.

Hurt his chances at the Heisman?

That's great news. I was watching A&M vs LSU yesterday on ESPN 3D. must have been a replay. I was thinking LSU must have his number. Good game though.

So he still has a shot.

Now this is awesome.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is unanimous choice for SEC offensive player of the year

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was a unanimous choice Monday for Associated Press Southeastern Conference offensive player of the year after a dynamic debut season in College Station.

Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin was named coach of the year, beating out Florida’s Will Muschamp.

Manziel also was an overwhelming choice as freshman of the year, in addition to being selected on all ballots as the first-team quarterback — not bad in a league that features the nation’s two highest-rated passers: Alabama’s A.J. McCarron and Georgia’s Aaron Murray.

“This season has been incredibly surreal,” Manziel said. “It’s beyond my wildest imagination. It’s a true testament to how this team has grown every week, because without these guys none of my individual success would be anything.”

He is also considered a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded in New York on Saturday. Manziel has put up bigger numbers than former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, a landslide pick for the Heisman in 2010.

No freshman has ever won college football’s highest individual honor.

This Heisman vote tracking site is projecting Manziel to win. Right now they have him doubling Teo's number of 1st place votes.

No disrespect, but the heisman crop this year is really weak imo.

So is this the year a freshman wins the Trophy? Seems deserving to me.

Definitely, but it's an annual award and they aren't going to skip a year due to lesser talent.

Well, no truly defense-only player has ever won it, and Teo could be the first to do that. He also could be the first Mormon to win it.

No Heisman winner has ever passed for 3000 yards and rushed for 1000 in their award winning season. No freshman has ever won it.

Tebow was the first Sophomore to win it, Newton was the first Juco transfer to win it, etc etc. I'm sure we could find specific firsts with any Heisman winner, so I don't think the voters will be too hung up on that. Either way, one of these two players will be the first at something.
