TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who is the youngest to ever win the Heisman?
A: Mark Ingram
Hersmanpundit.com
THE MORNING BREW Manziel is becoming the ultimate celeb
Winning the Heisman was the least cool thing Johnny Manziel had done in the past six
months.
Manziel took college football by storm this year, being the first freshman to win the Heisman trophy. But it's more than that solidifies "Johnny Football" as a legend.
"Rockstar" is an all-too-telling identity for the guy who has become admirably notorious for "knowing how to have a good time." Some scoff at Manziel's nightclub appearances, particularly his post-Cotton Bowl victory celebration in Dallas when he was photographed clutching a bottle of Dom Perignon. The pictures had sticklers up in arms about this underage drinking nonsense - that is, until everyone found out that underage drinking is allowed in
Texas if you have parental consent. And he did: his parents were at the nightclub with him.
"Johny Football" has had a string of run-ins with the likes of party animal Rob Gronkowski, Terrell Owens, Jessica Biel, Lebron James, Justin Timberlake, Rick Ross and even Jase and Willie Robertson from "Duck Dynasty," to name a few. He
was on stage with Wale at All-Star Weekend. He sat courtside at two NBA games and snagged premium Super Bowl, NCAA National Championship and Dallas Cowboys tickets.
Can we talk about Halloween? I'll save you the search. Manziel donned a fullon Scooby Doo outfit, and as seen in the leaked photos, the ladies loved it. And his girlfriend now? Let's just say that ESPN may have to bench Brent Musburger for next season's Texas A&M broadcasts.
That's not all. As if "Dude Perfect" couldn't get any cooler, Manziel joins the gang in a special feature episode. In it, Manziel drains what may be the longest shot ever made.
Manziel has been everywhere - everywhere but campus, that is. Word got out last week that Manziel has enrolled exclusively for online classes this semester because of his celebrity status.
The difference between him and celebrities, though, is that celebrities make money. But he's getting there. Texas A&M hired a research firm to total Manziel's media exposure, and it found that the exposure totaled $37 million for Texas A&M. The figure does not include his influence on merchandise sales, ticket requests or donations to the school, all of which are figures that historically see dramatic increases for teams that possess the most recent Heisman winner. Oh, and he doesn't get a cut.
Once drafted, will the money ruin Manziel? I wouldn't place a bet on either side. But as for now, he's playing it quite well.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Golf shows improvement this week at Invitational
The Kansas women's golf team left the Florida State Match Up Invitational last week with a bad taste in its mouth. The Jayhawks finished 10th out of 12 teams, but the team is back in Florida this week and in much better standings Kansas put up a 292 first-round score in the morning — a 2013 best — and
after the first 36 holes of play, Kansas has sole possession of third place and is just seven strokes off the lead.
"We played really well in the morning when we shot 292, which was one of our best rounds of the year so far," said Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil. "They were playing well, and a few of them were taking it under par for a while."
Leading the way for the Jayhawks is
Yupaporn Kawipakorn, who turned in two cards of 72 and is four shots off the tournament lead heading into the final 18 holes. Meghan Poteen is three shots behind Kawipakorn, sitting at +3 for the tournament. Minami Levonwich started off yesterday with an even round of 72, but an afternoon round of 78 set her back to +6 for the tournament.
"Our ball-striking was better, and we were better on the greens as well."
O'Neil said. "We had some putts falling for us - especially some birdie putts. They did good job of mentally managing their game, just making better decisions, and that's really key for us to shoot our best."
O'Neil was concerned about the bottom half of the lineup last week. Part of that problem was solved with Levonowich, who is currently tied for 18th place. A large stroke seperates the next two
Jayhawks, the closest being Thanattra Boonrakasat, who is currently tied for 58th place.
The Jayhawks are six strokes from second place at the Florida Invitational. The Jayhawks were forced to accept an 81 today from Audrey Yowell as the fourth score — a score that distanced the Jayhawks from the tournament front-runners. The improvement from last week is evident though, and for
O'Neil, that's all that needs to happen.
"I just want to see them keep doing what they are doing today," O'Neil said. "They did a good job of staying in the moment, being present. If they slipped a little, they fought back and didn't get down on themselves, and we just need to keep doing that."
