    Dude, read the article. Please.


    A&M took steps yesterday to try to bar Mack from cashing in on it after they realized it looked really really really really really really really really really bad.

    I'll do a tip jar bet on the investigation - like I said, the ncaa let Cam Newton get his dad a million but cracked down on Ohio State for free ugly tats.

    Except A&M tried to block him from cashing in just yesterday so obviously this is not their position

    Well, at least they're not worshiping dogs, eating paper, and attempting to kill cheerleaders with swords.

    They used it in Feb 2014 but it did not start becoming popular till after the trademark was filed.

    Can someone please explain to me how any one will receive money on a corny slogan that is on twitter? Does twitter pay "royalties" for this crap? I am genuinely asking. Sam seems to think someone will make a lot of money on this and I am dumbfounded why. Will Mack's father make t-shirts or something with this slogan? That is the only thing I can think of that might make money it would be incredibly lame if memorabilia is made with this lame slogan.

    I think the Mack's think they can make money off it. That's about it.

    Twitter hasn't even figured out how to properly monetize THEMSELVES yet, let alone paying royalties to some random dude who trademarked a corny slogan.

    COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M sophomore receiver Frank Iheanacho has been arrested on charges of failure to identify and providing false/fictitious information, according to the Brazos County justice website.

    The charges stem from a February shoplifting incident in a Bryan Wal-Mart, according to KZNE Radio in College Station, which first reported the arrest. Iheanacho, a sophomore from Westside High, posted $2,000 bond on Tuesday, the day of his arrest.

    Iheanacho has been suspended from all athletics activities per athletic department policy, according to an A&M spokesman.

    Iheanacho’s arrest is the first known arrest of an A&M football player this offseason, following a busy offseason on the legal front a year ago for the Aggies. Kevin Sumlin’s squad is currently taking part in spring drills, with a final practice on Thursday night prior to taking the coming week off for spring break.

    Iheanacho was a four-star recruit in A&M’s class of 2014. He played in seven games and caught two passes last season for the 8-5 Aggies.

    A&M has a sick home schedule this year. It is so good , very little tempted to shell $$ for all the home games. But the prices have been raised much higher than expected.
