Well I’m not
really rooting for Alabama more than I am rooting against Texas A&M. Well technically,
I’m not rooting against A&M, I’m rooting against Johnny Manziel Yea! That
sounds better. I not going for Alabama…I just don’t want Johnny to win. My good
ole Aggie friends will say that I am “hating” but I’m really not. . I can’t
cheer for Alabama because as a Texan that could be treason lol. BUT thanks to
the on- and off-field antics by Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, I
just might find myself saying "Roll Tide." #Ewww
This is what
I call the “Lebron Effect”. Remember how so many people (not me) hated Lebron
after he took his talents to South Beach?
That was not really for what he did, but for HOW he did it. He was seen
as arrogant, selfish, “cocky”, and all the other synonyms in that cluster. He
was the most hated person in sports just for how people perceived his attitude because
most people want to see pride lose to humility. Which is why so many people
were cheering for the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. Not because they liked them but
because they disliked the Heat. Same thought process goes for my attitude
towards Manziel. Everything he has done and said since the Heisman Trophy has affirmed Manziel's belief that he cannot be touched, that he is bigger than the university he represents, that he is even above NCAA rules.
I’m also not saying I think a loss to Alabama
tomorrow will humble old Johnny Football. It may bring him down a notch. Down
to the notch that says you aren’t guaranteed anything. Your attitude determines
your altitude. You better ask T.O and Ochocinco.
Alabama 34
