Story is someone in CS keeps calling to get his car towed doesn't know who. This last time came back from a fishing trip to find it had been towed again.

Alright, I'd be pretty mad if this was happening to me too.
That being said, I love my university, but College Station blows. Hard. I go to Austin or come back to Houston if I want a break.

I'd be pissed. But I can promise without reservation that I wouldn't tweet what he tweeted. I guess it started with Facebook, but people today feel the need to inform as many hundreds or thousands of people as they can that they are currently frustrated, happy, hungry, horny, bored, or any variety of other transient emotion that crosses their mind.
 
Its no secret that CS is a ****hole and there is a reason why most people leave once they graduate. JM just let his emotions get the best of him, and maybe some alcohol was involved.

Exactly Stemp!!! "Haters gonna Hate!!"

BCS is awesome!!! I had plenty of fun there!!!!

Blake, the reason most people leave there after graduation is because they leave there with a meaningful degree which they take jobs in major cities where engineering, construction and veterinary sciences need good people. Often times that means they move away from BCS. No??
 
Just like those good ole Ags.

They get the best college football player in the nation and then proceed to do everything they can to run him off as quickly as he can get out of BCS. LOL

I'm not sure if this kind of behavior is strictly a college station thing but you'd think Manziel fans would treat him like a King in a city so centered around the University there, not repeatedly try to get his ride towed.

If it's some bull**** about trying to keep him from partying so much (Which I could see some idiot taking it upon themselves to do something like this to "save Johnny from himself") I can completely see why he would tweet out some stuff like that. Either way, I doubt Manziel is going to be swayed to stay in an extra year at school if this is how people around college station treat him.

Seems like a pretty simple solution; stop illegally parking your car.

It may not be that simple.

Many apartment complexes have specified spaces for apartments and visitors have to park in the designated visitor spaces. If another car is parked in your space, you can call the towing company and they will tow it out. And there is nothing stopping a person from falsely having a car towed from a space that isn't theirs. The tow drivers eventually learn which cars belong and which don't if it happens often, but there are several drivers and they service several complexes so it can be towed anyways. Happened to a former GF of mine a long time ago and it happened to me too, as someone had my car towed from her space.

Now, that said, I've heard 2 other explanations for the tweet but no one can give a definite answer. Something obviously frustrated him that night and he mistakenly vented on Twitter.

This post is very true and can be even worse than that. In Tallahassee, the tow companies were predatory in nature. Tow first, ask questions or check tags later. I was in property management in Tallahassee and I had my car towed, and I would take calls weekly in regards to residents cars being towed. In those properties, residents had decals that gave them permission to park wherever in the complex that they wished. It comes down to the fact that some tow companies just don't check for the decal. If you drive a nicer vehicle, you are also likely to get towed. It was $88 every time a car got towed and they rarely, and I mean rarely, would let a car out without payment. That's even after I, as the property manager, would call the tow company and explain that the person was a resident and was parked within our conditions.

I can relate. When a deekhead would park on my spot in my building id honk but I wouldn't call the wrecker. Instead I'd park my car behind theirs and leave a note 'now you wait for me'. Id just sit by window and take my sweet time coming downstairs. It happened way too often I'm surprised we never came to blows.

A little more "information", and if this is accurate, there was no towing of vehicles involved.
Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel’s frustrated Twitter post at 1:38 a.m. Sunday morning claiming it’s “(expletive) like tonight is a reason why I can’t wait to leave college station … whenever it may be,” was over a parking ticket, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, had been fishing in Port Aransas on Saturday and talked over the phone to an officer, who wrote him a ticket for being parked the wrong way in front of his house and for his windows being tinted too dark (his vehicle was in College Station while he was with friends in Port Aransas), according to the insider.

Tinted too dark? And he could tell at 2am in the dark.

I guess CSPD is like any other small town who does BS like this to raise revenue

Why are you assuming that the ticket was written immediately before the tweet was sent? Anything you've read or heard to make you believe that was the case?
 
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, the favorite to win it again during the upcoming college football season and the potential No. 1 overall pick whenever he decides to make the jump to the NFL. Despite all of that, Manziel couldn't make it through the 2013 Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La., as he was reportedly sent home due to illness, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com.
Click to expand...

his statement comes on the heels of rumors that Manziel was actually sent home for staying out late the night before and showing up tardy to practice sessions.

Rumors and Rants originally reported Manziel's rumored debauchery, as a source with supposed knowledge of the situation told the site that Archie Manning was the one who sent Manziel home. Manziel was supposed to participate in the "Air It Out" skills challenge, but he didn't show up until noon and was reportedly asked to leave.

Where there's smoke there's fire. He wasn't sick unless sick = hungover. Another pic with Eli and Peyton is there too. So basically everyone else went to bed and he stayed out. Tired of hearing about him.

"Johnny Manziel did participate in some activities in the 2013 Manning Passing Academy as a college counselor/coach," the statement said. "After missing and being late for practice assignments, Johnny explained that he had been feeling ill. Consequently, we agreed that it was in everyone's best interest for him to go home a day early."

It was Manziel's first appearance as college coach/counselor at the passing academy after he had been a camper twice during his high school years.

"I enjoyed meeting Johnny," said Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning "I can remember a 20-year-old Eli [Manning] missing a meeting [at camp] and catching some flak. We always have counselors who leave early. Johnny was great with the campers for the time he was here. He had to leave early. I wish him the best and I want him to come back as a counselor next year."

Manziel could not be reached for comment. He apologized privately to camp officials for being unable to fulfill his commitment.

The Manning Passing Academy, in its 18th year, began Thursday evening and wrapped up Sunday morning. Manziel went home Saturday afternoon after missing the morning session.

This is the cover up version. I'ts not like this is the first "drama" the kids been involved in. In fact look at all the tweets about him being out the next night(more than I posted below)...yet family says he was at home with dehydration. This whole thing cracks me up. I actually feel bad for the kid at times but oh well...

Really over @JManziel2 for not sitting in my section tonight at hookah

I may have terrified @JManziel2 on NG when I darted past him and announced his presence, but sorry and I hope you had a good night out!!!!

NG is short for Northgate, College Station's bar strip. Hookah Station is part of the Northgate strip.

It appears that the Ags are doing everything they can to make sure another potential Heisman will never choose to attend A&M again. This makes me LOL.

I laughed at Archie Manning's PC statement that Manziel was "dehydrated." Yeah, alcohol will do that to ya. I don't really have a problem so much with what I know about Manziel, though. He's a kid that has some growing up to do. In one way or another, didn't we all...
 
As long as he wins us a natty, I don't care what he does. He can go full Jamarcus Russell as a pro if he wants. My opinion of JM has been slowly falling over this offseason. I understand he's just 20, but he's still essentially an unofficial spokesman of the university. He should conduct himself in a better manner.

It's not that. He can party all he likes, he's a college kid. But when it comes to being an effective ambassador for A&M, he should at least be able to do that. He handles himself really well in the interviews, but the off-camera stuff follows him around all the time.

How can you define acting young rich and famous?

What does that mean? Acting an Ass? Acting mature? Acting wild? Being reserved?

What exactly does acting young rich and famous mean? I've seen young, rich and famous people act all kinds of different ways...

Exactly! I have nothing against college kids doing college stuff. You just have to pick your places and be a little more careful since you now are a Heisman winner and represent that school. Especially around football "royalty." He just isn't very smart when it comes to these decisions.

Repped. Johnny is definitely following the Jamarcus Russell / Ryan Leaf path not the Peyton Manning / Drew Brees path.

Saw something on the Manning/Leaf draft. They were asked, "what will be the first thing you do if you are the #1 pick?" Manning's answer was the "learn the playbook and get to know my teammates". Leaf's answer was "Go to Vegas!" Pretty obvious which answer Johnny would choose. As other posters have said, there's nothing wrong with that. But I would rather have my QB model himself a little more on P. Manning, a little less on R. Leaf.
