Columnist Kevin Sherrington answered questions in a chat on Wednesday. Here are some highlights.

If you had to guess, would you says yes or no that Johnny Manziel misses games for A&M this season?

I wrote that it was 50-50 he plays a down this year. I might have been a little harsh. Depends on what else comes out, of course, but I'd say, yes, there's a good chance he misses at least some games.


Assuming JFF plays - any reason to think he won't regress as team, specifically Bama, catch up to him?

I think it will be very difficult for A&M to duplicate. That was a magnificent game in Tuscaloosa, played perfectly by the Aggies. Alabama will be way, way up for that game. Looking forward to being there for it.


Somewhere down in Aggieland, do you think Johnny Football is doing his best Bart Simpson imitation? (I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything!)

As for Manziel's situation, unless something else comes up, I think there's reason to think he could skate on all this. The NCAA's position has always been that it only takes into consideration what someone tells them personally. I don't know how they'd regard video evidence, which might be taken out of context.
