    Aggies cruise to Cotton Bowl victory over Sooners, but can Manziel keep themagic alive?

    So much for a Heisman Trophy hangover. Johnny Manziel looked like he was ready to join Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winner.

    Texas A&M’s redshirt freshman quarterback helped the Aggies dominate Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, 41-13. From the beginning, Manziel didn’t look the part of a quarterback that might have been distracted by his schedule since he won the Heisman last month, a schedule that included banquets, awards, basketball games and meeting actress Megan Fox.

    Manziel’s first touchdown saw him dance down the sideline and hop into the end zone, a flourish that underscored the joie de vivre with which “Johnny Football” has played with this season.

    His numbers against the Sooners, like most of his games this season, were dominant. He threw for 288 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He rushed for 229 yards and two touchdowns. He nearly became the second person in the history of college football to pass for 300 yards and rush for 200 yards in a single game.

    Adjectives are becoming difficult to come by when it comes to Manziel, a player only die-hard Aggie fans knew in early August when fall workouts began. Now he’s the main man in college football. And Aggie fans get at least two more years of him, since Manziel can’t turn pro until after his junior year.

    A magical season
    Manziel and the Aggies went into college football’s toughest conference, the SEC, won 11 games and beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Manziel should enjoy it as much as the law will allow, because next season could be much different.

    The Aggies will no longer be able to protect Manziel from the media’s glare. The Aggies’ rule that doesn’t allow freshmen to do interviews goes out the window. There will be demands on Manziel’s time next season that will make the last month look like a stroll at the Galleria.

    There are now sky-high expectations in Aggieland.

    There are expectations now in Aggieland. In fact, they’re sky-high. The Aggies looked like legit national championship contenders as they destroyed the Sooners.

    It wasn’t just Manziel. The defense kept a lid on the Sooners, shutting them out in the second half. The Aggies are going to be a trendy national championship pick, which ratchets up expectations.

    Finally, every SEC defensive coordinator has a year’s worth of film on Manziel and will spend the next eight months looking for ways to slow him down. That wasn’t easy in 2012. He proved about as elusive as a ringtail in Palo Duro Canyon during tourist season.

    The story's not finished yet
    Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart is getting ready for Notre Dame next week. But you know he can’t wait to get another crack at Manziel.

    The beauty of Manziel’s season was that it came out of nowhere and seemed to have a purity of competition that is sometimes lacking in college football. If Manziel were leaving Aggieland tomorrow for the NFL, it would be a perfect ending.

    But he’s not, and the stars don’t always align for Heisman winners who come back for more.

    Florida quarterback Tim Tebow won a national championship after winning the Heisman Trophy. USC quarterback Matt Leinart reached the national championship game after he won the Heisman, but his Trojans lost to Texas. Sam Bradford returned for as a senior after winning the Heisman and played three games in an injury-riddled season.

    For now, it’s high cotton for Manziel. But next season we’ll find out just how special Johnny Football really is. If he gets better, the Aggies may be celebrating more than a Cotton Bowl victory.

    Think BCS. Think Pasadena.

    That’s the potential power of Johnny Football.

    Dallas Wings new women's basketball stars get warm welcome from city

    The Dallas Wings No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers brings big hopes for fans in the 2025 season

    The newest members of women's basketball team the Dallas Wings are already making waves: Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and her fellow new recruits were welcomed by a press conference at Dallas City Hall on April 23 — part of the Dallas Wings' official introduction of the rookie class.

    According to a releasae, Dallas Wings draftees Paige Bueckers, Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly, and Aaronette Vonleh were welcomed by Mayor Eric Johnson and City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert, and gifted with cowboy hats by the City of Dallas Economic Development Corporation.

    The team will start the 2025-2026 season playing at the Memorial Arena in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Their home arena is College Park Center on the UT Arlington campus, with one exception: They'll be playing their June 27 game against the Indiana Fever, featuring superstar Caitlin Clark, at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

    Fans will have to pony up the big bucks for that epic game, with the price for two tickets starting at $255, although the upper 300 level has not yet been opened for sale. Those wanting to sit near the floor behind the baseline will run themselves a pretty $1,205 for two seats.

    After Clark joined the WNBA in 2024, almost half of the other teams in the league moved their home games against the Fever to larger arenas. All of the other Wings home games are currently scheduled to take place at College Park Center.

    If all goes as planned, 2025 will be the last season for the Wings at that venue. In 2024, the team announced plans to move to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas Memorial Arena in Dallas, starting with the 2026 season.

    Bueckers joins the Wings after closing out her college career by winning her first national championship, with Connecticut dominating the previous champions, South Carolina, 82-59. She's considered by many to be the league's next superstar.

    The 2025 Dallas Wings season comes with much anticipation. Since the end of the 2024 season, the Wings have revamped their front office, which included the hiring of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Curt Miller and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. In addition to the 2025 WNBA Draft Class, Miller made significant roster moves during free agency which included signing reigning WNBA Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington, 2022 All-Rookie Team pick NaLyssa Smith, former Wings guard Tyasha Harris and 2020 All-WNBA Second Team member Myisha Hines-Allen.
