I don't know if there is anything #ModernMagnolias love more than football season- though monograms and sweet tea come close. In the South, we know how to do quite a few things right and football season is at the very top of this list. So starting today, every Friday, we are going to talk about every aspect of our favorite sport! And today, we're making sure y'all are ready to talk about the upcoming season with the best of them. And if there's one story-line you need to know about this off-season, this is it.

Since A&M's win in the Cotton Bowl, it seems like Johnny Manziel has done everything but actually play football (other than that time he made a really awesome video with Dude Perfect).

But seriously, he did everything from hanging out court side at a Clippers game to spending Mardi Gras with Justin Timberlake- it's safe to say, we're pretty jealous. Unfortunately for Johnny, the entire football world has been watching his every move and they're getting kind of suspicious...

 From gambling in a (18+) casino...

...Johnny has been participating in a lot expensive, usually 21 and over activities. Also- when does this kid do schoolwork?! I know, I know... these points have been made over and over and over again.

Now his eligibility is being called into question after ESPN reported he accepted a "flat fee" for signing autographs.

Can we take a moment to talk about the fact that if this is "proof," Johnny has to be pretty dumb since HE'S WEARING A FREAKING A&M SHIRT... 

That being said...

Now it's time to get down to the real business at hand- playing football. How is this circus of an off-season going to affect Texas A&M's season?? Well it obviously can't help... Not to mention, A&M faces LSU and Alabama after both those teams have bye weeks.

And Nick Saban casually has his team's loss to the Aggies on a constant loop in their weight room...

And the Bama defenders already have clear anger management issues.

So that should be super fun. Go ahead and mark your calendars for September 14th.

Unfortunately, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks are not on the A&M schedule so we won't be seeing a Manziel vs. Clowney match up. To say we're bummed about this is an understatement.

Just in case you forgot about it, here's our favorite hit from last season. Go ahead and admit it... it's yours too.

Needless to say, all eyes will continue to be on the Justin Bieber of college football. We'll be sure to update y'all on this circus.
