I hope Kiffin lights a fire under this young man to set him straight. He has a world of potential.
BTW, we are not British.

I am willing to bet that after Kiffin and Ausmus get a hold of him he doesn't try it again. JJ...that was a Boy thing to do...be a man. Wait til you're 21 and then drink. Until then stick to some protein shakes.

This is a two parter, and I have no way to verify if either part is true, so don't flame (although you are going to anyway, so I have no idea why I put the standard rumour disclaimer).

A poster on TOS said JJ was suspended for the Memphis game, which reminded me of a story a friend of mine told me that I initially dismissed as I assumed we would have heard some disciplinary action about it. After hearing this rumour of him being suspended for Memphis, I began to think it may have some teeth.

Anyway, story goes that supposedly JJ was at a bar on the strip and was trying to take a beer out with him (which you obviously cannot do), and the story teller's brother is a bouncer at said club (can't verify if he is or isn't, or even what club it was). Apparently they got into a verbal altercation about the whole deal. I don't remember what words exactly were relayed to me, but I seem to remember him saying something to the effect of JJ saying something like "hey man just let me be," and the bouncer refused as he could not let him leave with the beer. Story goes that JJ shoved the bouncer, who then got physical with JJ. Story teller also claims bouncer has a $3000 gold chain belonging to JJ and refuses to give it back until he comes and apologizes.

As I said, it sounds very far fetched, especially since JJ is not old enough to drink, but its not like underage drinking doesn't occur on the strip..I am pretty positive that even if something like this occurred, it was not exactly as was described to me in the story (I believe the friend probably embellished a bit somewhere..or in a few spots). But I would not be the least bit surprised to hear a) that JJ is suspended for the Memphis game, and b) that it had something to do with an incident or altercation at a bar and/or underage drinking.

Once again, no confirmation on either part, just food for thought, take it as you will (preferably with a grain of salt).

couple of points

- A $3000 dollar chain's pretty steep for a college student

- Gets suspended for a game

- Spikes gets half a game for trying to blind and disfigure player

If rumor is true about JJ. Good for Coach K. We do not need that kind of distraction in the final run of the season. Do the crime - Do the time

Looks like we're setting a nice example for Urbie.

As for JJ... dude, trying to carry the beer out of the bar was where you really got the case of the stupids. Almost everyone in college drinks underage... but don't make a scene about it. Stupid.

I wish Jackson would have tried to gouge someone's eyes out during the brawl. Then we we'd have seen him in the second half.

He was probably drunk. You tend to do stupid things when you're drunk.

Raise your hand if you went to the Lap or the Library underage!

He went to a bar, he made a stupid decision, he's on the football team, thus this gets more attention. He's a kid that made an unwise decision, the coaches will take care of it and we'll move on, no way that this is detrimental to his career.
