After manager-turned-walk-on drains 3 in Sweet 16, he invites Johnny Manziel to jump on Michigan bandwagon

C.J. Baird put the cherry on top of a complete and total Michigan rout of Texas A&M on Thursday night in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

By the time the manager-turned-walk-on splashed a 3-pointer in the game’s closing seconds, most Aggie fans had probably tuned out.

Well, Baird had a message for one particular Aggie fan who was in the Staples Center crowd on Thursday night. In a postgame interview with The Ringer, Baird invited Johnny Manziel to join the Michigan bandwagon and support the maize and blue during its Elite Eight game on Saturday night:

Manziel seems pretty open to that idea. Well, the former Texas A&M star at least responded to Baird’s new profile pic (which was obviously from his viral 3-pointer):

Cash money ????

Don’t expect to see Manziel ditch his A&M colors anytime soon. Well, unless it’s to fulfill the bet he lost to former Ole Miss and new Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson.
