What the... I hope this is not serious. Against Memphis we won't need him but get your things in order young man.

Rumor from VN...

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).

That he has had "gotten into it with a bouncer on the strip"...so, where there is smoke there is fire"...

Took the UT team under Kiffin a whole 11 months before something occurs with the law or with acting out. Richardson and Jackson both suspended for Memphis game. But if this was a Phildo team it would be occurring multiple times a year.

took 11 months, and look Kiffin took swift severe action, without being ripped for in the media. hmmm discipline .. no discipline...

Isn't this JJ's second strike? Didn't he get into trouble months ago, along with someone else...can't remember the infraction. This really surprises me, given his background.
