@SEC_Logo: If the Sharpie doesnt fit, you must acquit

Half a game? Should've just let it go altogether. You only did it to say you did SOMETHING! Leave @JManziel2 alone already.

As long as we beat them by the same amount we beat OU by I'll be happy.

So Dez Bryant has a dinner with someone he wasn't supposed to, admits it, apologizes, gets a whole season ban.

Johnny Manziel gets accused of signing autographs for money, doesn't admit or deny it, instead hires lawyers, gets half a game ban.

I hope everyone following this story has learned a valuable REAL WORLD lesson from this whole thing. Honestly, anyone who called into question Manziel's intellect during this whole ordeal is eating now. You can't get mad at the kid, he showed he was smart where it mattered and played the system as it allowed.

It's just like when you get pulled over for suspected drunk driving. Don't in talk, don't blow into breathalyzer, don't do field sobriety test, go to jail and get a lawyer with your phone call...more than likely, unless you were driving like a crazy asshole, you'll get a plea bargain and no DUI since the cops won't have any evidence against you.

I'm glad this whole in thing is over with now. Jesus...

Pretty accurate analogy actually.

Might be the worst penalty I've ever seen

[Blake]

Are all autographs going to be outlawed now?

Expect a lot of David Ash autographs to flood the market.

/ no one will ever buy

NCAA should be investigating ESPN for abuse of hyperbolic journalism

[rjv]

from a football perspective, it is going to be interesting to see how hill plays if he gets the start. certainly makes for a strange game to place a point spread on.

I don't think the line moves much if any, even if Johnny missed the whole game

[tlongII]

Half the game versus Rice!

I like it actually. It will make college football more exciting.

Weren't you saying he would definitely be suspended for the entire season? And you were happy that was the case?

Yes I did. Gotta talk trash.

[Trill Clinton]

dez bryant gets suspended for the entire season for lying about having brunch with deion.

scamziel with a sketchy college career already and getting paid to sign helmets, has to sit out the 1st half of a game.

seems fair.

It's not. But the NCAA is on the defensive right now after being criticized so much.

[Bill_Brasky]

the difference is dez bryant publicly admitted to what he did, whereas manziel made no comment.
