Let them build up ol' buttercup manning all they want! Let's see if he can live up to expectations. He's certainly got a target on his back

Yep. But it was the first pic I found in that era and just went with it.

Keith should have stuck with sports and kept his mouth shut about politics. He is no longer relevant. Period.

Pretty much this.

Just like reality TV shows, they're relatively inexpensive to produce but still bring in the viewership numbers.

SHOCKING.

You referring to the Manning's as a royal family tells me ESPN is succeeding in its mission.

Right right right. Unless Arch gets hurt like his old man, they'll have 3 generations of NLF QBs. With the first 2 being highly decorated. Families like that are basically a dime a dozen.

When it was JFF Darren Rovell was going through his garbage cans looking for something incriminating

Does Arch have a history of alcohol and drug use, possibly during games, massive partying in the spotlight, and making money improperly?

If so then the media would be running that down faster than they tried to with Manziel.

Well arch does have some coked out eyes. Either that or he hasn't slept for a week.

ESiPN has been this way for 30 years so Im expecting it just like I do with Texas Football Magazine.
Win a natty and we still wouldn't make either.
So.........stay away from both

JFF was possibly the most famous college athlete ever, a pop culture phenomenon. No other player would ever get that treatment.

He wasn't even the most popular college athlete within a decade before or after his stint. Other guys didn't get the treatment because it wasn't a known thing among all media circles that the other guys were doing things as ridiculous as he was. Except Jameis. Who got scrutiny for everything he did. Please stop trying to act like he didn't invite every bit of the bad media attention he got.

the rediculous dude as the OP

the goofy ass winky obnoxious dude trolling

self loathing ags being ashamed by JFF


this thread is pretty sweet offseason TexAgs fare

Well, the very first response completely destroyed your terrible whiney post. There wasn't anything more that could be said, so the next best thing was to ridicule your spelling.

It's been 8 years since I've watched any ESPN shows

It's now been 3 years since I've watched any live Aggie games on a streaming service I'm paying for.

What have I missed?

I haven't watched non-game content on espn in about 20 years, except for gameday which I stopped watching about 5 years ago

The 30 for 30s are actually pretty solid
Beyond that they offer nothing other than hosts trying WAY too hard to become celebrities and a bunch of moral-grandstanding BS. I hate that the SEC is in bed with them. They're the reason tu got brought in

What family would you consider to be Football's Royal Family?

What other family has produced three elite college football and NFL QBs with a possible fourth yet to be determined across three generations?

I'm ambivalent about the Mannings but I'm not sure there is another family out there with their football pedigree.

The SEC saw the writing on the wall with the future of the conferences and tv deals. It was either bring them in or give their eyeballs to the Big10

What's so red about them?

And the idea that there should be some kind of balance between A&M and Texas nationally is silly, no matter how much of a homer you are. It's like Oklahoma State wondering why people talk about OU instead of them. I mean, Texas/Ohio State will be the 38th time Texas and their opponent have both been in the top 5. A&M has been in 4, ever. Texas this century has won a title, played for another, and been one game away from the championship game the last two years. A&M has exceeded 9 wins ONCE since 1998. What the heck do you expect?

---

it also helps to be overrated year after year because of your name. No one has been more overrated all time than tu. They, more than any other school, have finished the season ranked lower than they started. Florida state is second all time.

wait till they watch him try and throw the football. He'll get drafted on name. He is the next Chris Simms

During this dead period of sports, really if you are listening to sports radio or watching ESPN you really have to question your decision making paradigm. I live in Colorado and the Rockies don't count as a major league team, so there is literally nothing worth paying attention to in sports for another month.

He should sit out the season….

Hell, he has already won the heisman, a natty, and been selected as the #1 pick in the draft.

Why play bruh???

3 generations of Matthews trumps them.

I noticed you didnt name anyone. Youre painting with what you know now over what you knew then. I would argue much of the disgrace he fell into was a result of the fame. Dude was a household name in America, pretty much no college football player has been since. Everything I am talking about started before the autograph bs. The only reason they cared about the autograph bs is because of who he was. I regret to inform you many players were selling their autograph but no one seemed to care.

It's absolutely right. The only difference was Manziel was in the era of social media but that didn't make manziel more popular/famous.

But go back to crying about how Johnny got some unfavorable treatment or whatever.

I don't know. Tebow was just famous for playing college football and wearing his religion on his sleeve. JFF was courting celebrities and pictured with LeBron, Justin Bieber, etc. at events.

Texas has 1 trophy since segregation ended in football 50 years ago, goober. And he wasn't asking for as much media attention as those dorks. He was saying they're propping up this overrated inbred kid at Sips.

halfastros81 said:

I don't care . Manning is a good kid imo and maybe a top flight qb and clearly has the advantage of name recognition. Great. We just need to figure out how to beat tu.

---

Lol. How tf would you know if he's a good kid. Lmao "maybe top flight QB"…well how prescient. And you want a secret on how to beat the Sips (like we've split the series with them like 20-20 the last 40 years), have a QB who doesn't suck.

Manning kid isn't bringing in big numbers on YouTube. ESPN's college football channel and Finebaum have been trying to use the Manning name to get views, but their videos are quite weak in viewership. Kind of embarrassing how few views they're achieving off the goober Manning inbred.

I'd love for us to be a real threat to win the national title instead of the team that craps the bed every time they appear on a national broadcast. Pretty sure we'd get more love as the first than the reality that is the second
