Much ado about nothing at all. He's fine, it's fine, we're fine.

Let the media have their snack during the dog days of summer.

I'd be pissed too if I just became the only freshman ever to win the Heisman and was the starting QB for a Top 10 team with a decent chance to play for the final BCS title.

Maybe he is tired of all the college brotards sniffing his jock strap anywhere and everywhere he goes in College Station. Or maybe he just hates the food.

Aren't his parents filthy rich in oil money? Why would he be pissed?

Sounds like he's tired of being famous. That's never going to leave as long as he's playing football.

He's a young guy who likes to party, with a ton of publicity. I don't think he's a bad kid at all, he's just living his life as a college kid. I don't think there is anything wrong with him enjoying life the way he wants to as long as it doesn't harm others. Unfortunately for him, he's not allowed to live the same way I did or a lot of you guys and girls did during college. I think this will be the last time we hear about Johnny Football doing anything controversial while he is at aTm. This is most likely when CKS cuts his Twitter off or gives him some sort of ultimatum.

I'm certainly not defending his actions of dropping a Twitter after 1 a.m....and then realizing the mistake a couple of minutes later...after the damage was done. That said, I think I understand his frustration with College Station. I loved the university, but hated the town.

He needs to understand a couple of things...his celebrity is of his own choosing. It's up to him to conceal it as much as possible.

How many college kids are sitting courtside at nba games with their supermodel girlfriends? I get what you are saying, but he isn't exactly trying to keep a low profile.

He's a kid. Could be talking about some jack-wagon screwing up his White Castle order. I hate twitter.

I would like to preface my post by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of Johnny Football on the field last season, and his off the field pictures and posts following the season. I think it's equal parts amazing and hilarious.

It's such a vague post that it's hard to interpret what really happened.

He does need to be careful on Twitter though. Posting pictures of him partying are fun and quite harmless as long as his play doesn't suffer. Slamming your college's home-town and then passive-aggressively deleting it right after is completely different, and approaching attention-starved ego territory.

The "walk a day in my shoes" tweet really irked me. Honestly, I can't feel sorry for this guy. I'm sure his shoes aren't even the worst to step into in his town, let alone the thousands that follow him. Yes, woe is the 20 year old that sits court side, parties, works out on a beach, enjoys family money, receives bottle service, entertains a plethora of co-eds, appears in music videos, throws out first pitches, and makes it all available to the public at will.

It's not hard to be a 2nd year Heisman winner at an SEC school. Tebow did it all with a smile on his face and a "God Bless". I'm not judging the way that Johnny Football lives his life, but to challenge the masses to "walk in his shoes" for a day like it's the hardest thing ever is very off putting. I know that he's young and can easily get caught up in situations, but of all the things to say.

Why is that? Just curious. Never been there.

College Station's roots trace back to the Morrill Act of 1862 that created the Land-Grant universities around the United States. The state of Texas opted to build A&M in a remote, impoverished area about five miles south of Bryan. The town that grew out of the college was eventually incorporated and became College Station.

Unlike College Station, cities/towns like Knoxville weren't created for the specific purpose of locating a college campus. Plus, the location of A&M is not close to anything...90 minutes from Houston, 3 1/2 hours from DFW, 90 minutes from Austin, 2 or 3 hours from San Antonio.

Speculation over on TexAgs says it has to do with the College Station police breaking up a party in the wee hours of the morning.

The part about 'walking in his shoes' or something to that affect refers (and I could be way off base on this), that he's constantly dogged as the celebrity that he is (to all of us who hold A&M dear), and that even going out in College Station is difficult.

I live here and I can tell you two things:

College Station does not suck at all.

This will blow over well before football season.
