In an update Monday in College Station, Texas A&M regent Jim Schwertner suggested that the Aggies rename their stadium 'Kyle Field: The House that Johnny Built.'

He's kidding, right? Well, let's turn it over to Brent Zwerneman, who covers the Aggies for the San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle.

Before proposing a name for the stadium, Schwertner thanked Manziel for getting the school the money to renovate Kyle Field, which is why he believes they should do something special for him.

"I hope the Aggie Nation will come together and decide that's something they want to do," Schwertner said.

What do you think, Aggies fans: In favor of 'The House that Johnny Built,' or want to keep Kyle Field the way it is?
