Skip…that is all.
Johnny has clearly changed. But skip bayless is still a turd!
The house that Johnny built thing is so annoying to me.
Plans were already in the works before Johnny had his run... the plans were approved 2 months after winning the heisman.
Cheapens the university and athletic program. Kyle field was great before the renovation... the football program had success before Johnny.

Can't deny that the money poured in during the Johnny years. Expedited the re-build.
The program was far more popular nationally during the two years with JFF than at any other time. PERIOD!Not Coach Jimbo said:

The A&M brand never benefited more from one person.
He was the most entertaining player on the field every time he was on the field.
Yeah but....
the BoR first started on the 10 year plan that included the stadium renovation/expansion in 2004 or 2005. It was going to happen regardless. I don't dismiss the fact that Johnny and the Heisman hype generated enthusiasm and probably helped with all revenue channels, but the whole "House That Johnny Built" thing is a bit overblown.

There is a huge difference between having a plan for expansion in the works and actually raising the money and executing on the project. JM showed up at the right time to accelerate the funding process.
The Manziel era was so magical! Best era at TAMU for football in our lifetimes and with all the money & new stadium we've not been able to recreate the magic. It's because it was organic. You can't create magic like that. Johnny was the force behind it, but sadly he's been his own downfall as well. We might never have an era like the Johnny Football one ever again.I relish those memories. That time was so exciting!
This is so much BS!!!! The Johnny era lasted 2 years, other great eras lasted 3 and 4 years and longer. The Johnny era was a flash in the pan!!!!phillytex24 said:

Built a 100,000 state of the art stadium and won a Heisman.
More than a flash in the pan. Generational talent.

JFF brought A&M into the national spotlight. No one outside of Texas gave us a second thought before him. He made us relevant.
Yeah but 2012 I had more fun and was more entertained watching Aggie football than at any other time before or since.aeon-ag said:This is so much BS!!!! The Johnny era lasted 2 years, other great eras lasted 3 and 4 years and longer. The Johnny era was a flash in the pan!!!!phillytex24 said:

I am guessing this is just another interview of JFF talking about stuff that happened over a decade ago? Same answers, but different person asking the questions?
We don't have the stadium and facilities we have today if Johnny doesn't come here and win a Heisman.
Same thing for Baylor's new stadium after RG3's heisman.

It's okay to have some appreciation for JFF and what he did for A&M while he was here.

That's why Uncle Nate filed for the trademark "The House That Johnny Built" before JFF was able to monetize it himself.
It's not surprising they went separate ways once JFF obtained more established representation.

Quote:
. . . According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, Manziel has filed for several trademarks including "The House That Johnny Built."
But according to Rovell, the trademark has already been applied for and it comes from none other than Manziel's longtime friend Nate Fitch. Fitch saw his name in the news at the height of Manziel's autograph scandal before the 2013 season as the leader of Manziel's crew and serving as a part-time agent of sorts to the Aggie quarterback.
. . .
"Fitch's mother, Rachel, declined to comment. Her attorney Gerald Fowler told ESPN.com that it was his understanding that Nate and Johnny were going to use the mark together."
Rovell writes that Fitch Estate Sales filed for the trademark in December and that Manziel filed a month later with the same request. Both parties hope to use the term for athletic apparel according to the US Trademark & Patent Office.
"Fowler said the trademark, an obvious play on the famous Babe Ruth/Yankee Stadium phrase, was a reference to the renovation of Texas A&M's Kyle Field, a $450 million project, which will expand seating capacity to 102,500 and is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2015 football season," Rovell said. "A Texas A&M official did not immediately return a call seeking comment as to whether Manziel had discussed his trademark filing with the school."
