As an aside, I really with they'd stop doing this. Do a ticketing system or something. This is just embarrassing.

Kyle has benches too, but the segments are like 2 feet wide. You're shoulder to shoulder with very little leg room.

Looks like we're wearing the 1920's Jack Trice era throwbacks for the Iowa game.

Yeah, Nebraska's is the same. They need to institute the airline rule of making you buy two tickets if you are over a certain weight. It'd probably reduce attendance to like half though
Edit - ^ I like the throwbacks

Is #32 a yeti? Look at those calves
That is getting addressed (at least on the west side). They are actually removing 7k seats from the existing alumni side as part of the renovation. Kinda funny too because for that second year capacity will actually be 109,000 and there is already talk about making a run at the largest crowd record.
Going to be interesting to see if manziel talks today.... all kinds of speculation.

Ohio States are super skinny, but fuck Nebraskas and there little chairs they let people bring, I banged my knees on the guys chair in front of me the whole time I was there.
Let Mizzou leave for the B1G, then OU, UT and OSU can join the SEC.
Those are sharp.Looks like we're wearing the 1920's Jack Trice era throwbacks for the Iowa game.
Really hoping for some 1988 throwbacks for the KU game. It's the 25th anniversary of Barry's Heisman season, and Barry and some of his teammates will be at the game.

I get OU and OSU... but why do we want the University of Tampa?
UGA has benches as well and they allow people to bring in those little chairs. Season ticket holders have them provided by the school, I believe. Or maybe they rent them for the year.. Either way they're setup for them every game.
Club section has seats, which is where I spent most of my time growing up due to my grandfather having tickets.

Johnny Football, you dun goofed.
Seems like he had a visit to Alabama on the 17th, that made him rethink LSU. Not sure if that's "Cold Played"
But still, Alabama's got a obscene amount of depth at WR right now, with only 2 SR's who'll be gone (and 2 JR's who don't have enough recognition to leave early). So, if he wants playing time, he either has to be outstanding, or go somewhere else.
In Bama's case, it is not really a cold play but he wasn't a priority player either as he was third on their list; he's a huge get for Rutgers if they get him.

I wish Johnny Football had committed an infraction that I could actually admonish him for, rather than one of the stupid NCAA rules against profiting from your own image.

Jesus Christ, how do they put these together so quickly?
I mean, obviously it's extremely crude animation, but still.
Why would you link to the English version?
Also, that Manti joke was a nice pick-me-up.
I agree that it's stupid for him to get in trouble for that...
But it's JFF and I think he's a tool, so hahahahahaha.

The one funny aspect of it is that his family is loaded. He's not some latchkey kid with a poor single mom.
Those will come in handy this year. Mre will love the last one.

The quality of the rule is totally irrelevant.
You're the face of your school and the team. You need to follow the rules set out for you instead of being a jackass and complete distraction from your peers.
I have the same response to the "Oh he's just 20, didn't you drink then?" bullshit.
I'm not a Heisman winning star quarterback. You have an even greater personal responsibility to make good decisions and not be a fuckup.

With great marketability comes great responsibility, True Believers!
Exactly. I think he should be able to profit from his image, but it's moronic of him to try and profit when 1) an entire program and university is depending upon his eligibility, 2) he's gonna make lots of money in a few months in the draft and via endorsements, and 3) his family is already rich.
This. It shouldn't be illegal, but the fact that he did it with all of the above factors in play means he has terrible judgment. He knew what the consequences would be if he got caught.
According to Mark Richt, "I don't know how in the world we got in the conversation of the Notre Dame schedule. But I'm all for playing them."
Sumlin seems really annoyed with this latest incident involving Johnny. Very annoyed at all the mainstream media in there from AP asking questions. Not saying much of anything other than that he found out yesterday when everyone else did, he's still practicing as are backups (claims same as normal), doesn't know of any NCAA investigation (supposedly).

At least Tiger was in the news for positive reasons...
I don't think Sumlin appreciates it very much right now either. They were undoubtedly enjoying the attention last year, but it's been negative story after negative story regarding him for a couple months now. He's a lightning rod from the program and this is going to affect team chemistry the longer it goes on.
If by good shot, you mean no shot, then yeah.
The Tide has made up a lot of ground on him since March, when he listed a top three of LSU, Ohio State and Florida State. Along with the Tide, Notre Dame now rounds out his top five.

Rivals has rutgers listed as no interest for him
OT but can I say how much Time Warner sucks? Switching to Uverse and I called today to cancel my service. They didn't even try to talk me out of going to Uverse, they just asked why I was leaving, told them and how I was on their chat with a guy a couple weeks ago that tried to match Uverse price, but it was only 20 meg internet and basic cable with no HD, no channels I want, and no DVR. What a pathetic excuse for a company.
It's Rutgers, let him think they have a chance.

Insight used to be great, parents had insight for 15 years, then time warner bought them out and they went to shit. I have been very very happy with Uverse since I got it over a year ago, and just convinced my parents to switch last month.
It's all on miles to suspend him now, or the media circus won't let this go

I'm not arguing that he's not a distraction and a jackass, nor will I argue that he didn't violate any rules if it turns out he did.
My point is that the rules he allegedly broke are stupid, unjust rules, so I'm not going to admonish him for violating said stupid, unjust rules.
That's just me, as a non-Aggie. If I were an Aggie, I would most certainly be pissed at him, just like I was pissed at the OSU players who traded rings for tattoos.

By the way, have you all met Uncle Nate, Manziel's "manager"? No? Here he is:
To me this is the real problem manziel has.... some more info here about this "manager". Evidently he is more of a party buddy than manager and the fact that his parent's gave their blessing to this makes it even worse. http://bustedcoverage.com/2013/08/05/this-is-johnny-manziels-manager-uncle-nate/
Even if they can trace the money I bet he will take the hit and say manziel had no knowledge and thought he was doing it for charity or something. Hopefully either way they get rid of this guy and get him a real manager.

His manager is wearing a Dirk Nowitzki wife beat? Hmmm....I'm starting to believe Manziel is part of a conspiracy put into action by Mark Cuban to troll the NCAA and college football by exposing its flaws. After winning the Heisman, phase 1 was completed. Phase 2 was to go buck-wild and violate every NCAA rule in place in hopes of being reprimanded and suspended the rest of the year. Then one of two things would happen, one of which would eventually disband the NCAA to make room for Mark Cuban's superior alternative collegiate sports organization. Manziel is rewarded by being offered the CEO position.
