He must not have partied very hard prior to his games vs. LSU. 

Got his little Heisman arse chewed up and spit out both times.

He misspelled "paid me the most money".  Honest mistake.

To be honest, at this point it is what is is.  Guys might take a "slight" hometown discount to not transfer, but every single football and basketball transfer, without exception are where paid them the most.  I would bet that statement is 99% accurate

I always chuckled at the numerous photos of the Aggie QB partying on what appeared to be 6th St. with a bunch of people in the photos throwing up the Hook 'em Horns sign.  You couldn't ask for a bigger "I'm just here for the $" signal. 
A&M was one of the only major schools that recruited JM.  Mike Sherman recruited him and a bunch of other really talented players like Mike Evans who nobody else even gave much of a 2nd glance.  He also assembled a hell of a OL and some really good defensive recruits, even if our defense really sucked under him at times.  It was a shame he couldn't translate talent on the field into wins on the field.  We should have promoted Mike to GM type role and then Kevin Sumlin as HC.  Despite his shortcomings, Sumlin was actually a pretty decent coach, and if you look at his record he did OK here even when the SEC W was still by far the toughest division.  


The shots of JM partying on 6th street are also joined with photos of him partying all over Dallas/FW, Cancun, Vegas, and lots of others.

Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reports that Louisiana will become the latest state to introduce a bill exempting NIL money from state income tax. The bill’s author, Rep. Dixon McMakin, R-Baton Rouge, is quoted in the article as saying, “Other states — Illinois, Alabama and Georgia — have bills right now to make it where NIL compensation is exempt from state income tax. We will be competing with those other states, and we’re not gonna let them outcompete us.”


I assume you have to throw in states like Texas, which has no state income tax
