Actually, I am going to respectfully disagree with you on this. I don't think this is a case about black or white. I think most people here are defending AJ cause of his character that he has shown many times over. The guy has come across as a class act. You don't see anyone defending Mike Williams here....mainly because he hasn't proven himself to the fan base.

That being said, it's still possible that he did something horrible and if so then I think that everyone here.....or at least everyone with half a brain and some decency, will turn on him and cut him from our memory.

I agree that race is irrelevant; but have to disagree about why fans might support or defend one player more than another.

When do fans ever interact with players enough to make value judgments about their character? What are these instances where AJ has "shown his character many times over"?

And I don't mean these pet charity projects that coaches get the players involved in, either.

Cam Newton was in all of Meyer's charity projects, like volunteering at Shands Hospital etc.(there was even a huge article about it with a picture of him on the front page); and we all saw how he turned out despite that.

Most fans are defending AJ because he's a superstar and valuable asset to the team; a lot of fans probably hadn't ever even heard of Mike Williams until this story broke... that's why he's not getting as much support. If neither guy has been in trouble before, then they essentially have the same record or evidence of character.

But losing the services of a backup DB with 23 career tackles wouldn't negatively impact the defense nearly as much as losing AJ. When you say Williams hasn't proven himself to the fan base; you mean he hasn't proven himself on the field to the fan base. If the guy was an All-SEC/All-American CB, with the stats and play to back it up, I suspect he'd be getting some strong fan defense too... as long as he hadn't had any other discipline issues.

Kind of makes it seem like there ultimately won't be good news.

If there was a chance he could play, seems like they'd have either expedited his case or put him at the top of the list of cases for the GJ to hear.

If they're recessing without hearing the case of a senior when his final game, a bowl game no less, is upcoming, there must not be a lot of confidence that he'd get to play anyway.

The legal system, court dockets and grand jury schedules do not give a rat's ass about UT football, AJ Johnson, or bowl games.

So now it's cbj fault??? Hahaha this is getting stupid. Let's stop pointing fingers and let it all play out. Yeah it's taking a really long time, I agree. But I commend cbj and staff for acting the way they did, it shows class and the fact he runs a no nonsense type program. I hope aj is innocent just like everyone on here and I want this over with but its time to move on, and in no way shape or form can you place blame or be pissed at coach jones.

Yep, it was his decision to suspend.

How is he showing class and what exactly was the nonsense?

It's completely unfair. I'm pissed at Butch for suspending him. Not only has his name been smeared well before any charge or conviction, but he lost his ability to play his final games, and he is racking up lawyer fees to top it off.

It's university policy. Geez

Typical cop-out response from a delinquent keyboard commando who doesn't know anything. You don't even know what world you're living in. GTFO

He didn't have any other choice but to suspend him,he has a boss and University to help him make that decision. He is trying to build this football program back to being respectful which equals class. He is not gonna let off field problems and actions deter him from doing that which equals not putting up with nonsense. If you cant understand that I don't know what to tell you. Nobody is bigger than this Football program or University. Do you want this program to be like FSU or the teams that Miami had in the 80s?

Looks like your riding solo on this one, but from the looks of your 7000 plus smartAss posts on here you must be used to it. I wish I was as cool as you are on the Internet. Coug!!!!

I don't think you can even begin to compare the two. JJ got into major drug trouble, was involved in a hold-up, and brutally killed somebody in cold blood.

I didn't 'see the AJ Johnson thread so move if needed... I was just wondering if anyone had any info or update on him? Personally I would let him play as long as he is cleared of everything up to the second before the team leaves for Jacksonville. AJ Johnson cold is still better than any other option right now. I know it's highly unlikely at this point though.

He'll never play here again :,(. He already missed his senior night, and we are better off seeing what we have in Bynum/JJ for the future. AJ only has himself to blame. You can't put yourself in bad situations. Stuff happens, I'm not saying he's guilty, but most women I know don't cry wolf just to do it. However, I also choice very wisely who I hang around with and especially who I date, etc...

AJ at this point needs this whole situation to be totally resolved. The draft is just months away and combine , pro days coming very soon. He had a hell of a season. Proved he can blitz, fight through blocks, and track down ball carrier on sweep. He's a leader and a warrior.

But can't be a convicted rapist or its all for nothing

I believe I read on here that the grand jury has been recessed for the holidays. So they won't be back in session until sometime in January. So, as far as AJ is concerned, he's done.
