Aggies regent wants ‘House That Johnny Built’ added to Kyle Field name

[TexasTowelie]

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M regent Jim Schwertner stole the show at Monday afternoon’s update on the $450 million Kyle Field renovation.

Schwertner said he hoped one day Kyle Field is renamed “Kyle Field: The House that Johnny Built,” in honor of 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.

“I hope the Aggie Nation will come together and decide that’s something they want to do,” Schwertner said.

Schwertner contended that A&M would not have been able to come up with the $450 million so readily over the past two years without Manziel electrifying the nation in 2012 and 2013. Manziel was the No. 22 overall selection to the Cleveland Browns last Thursday night in the NFL draft.

1. Not likely to happen.

They didn't rename Kyle Field "The house that John David Crow built" either.

2. I think that they should wait awhile.

Too many scandals could occur in the next few years that would give him a bad reputation. You would think that a regent would have more sense than to make that suggestion?
