Rutgers, no Miami, yes on numerous occasions because people can't believe that they keep recruiting people like that West Virginia, no because they put the hammer down on his horseshit in college.mtgrizrule said:

I live in Denver. Even here, every time DJ gets in trouble, or does something, has the news mentioned him with Miami. Over the last few years, I have heard one smart ass fan comment about DJ, and Miami.
The universities/programs, are impacted when the players are doing dumb shit while attending school. Then, it is a bad reflection of the program. I honestly, do not see TJ's missing a practice, having much impact on the GRIZ, beyond egriz, at least.

Oh, you is so right!
jcu: I don't care if Tru did not have a full $1million contract. What I care about is this is a job that presumably TJ has wanted most of his life. Anyone on this board who has ever gotten a job, first is thankful that he/she got the job, no matter if it's a minimum wage job. IT'S A JOB, for godssakes! Second, you show up the first morning or at the first of the shift, ready to go. And, you show your employer he/she got a good man. After all, the employer is wondering if he/she made a good hire w/ you. In a lot of situations, you don't show up, the employer has another to take your place & you are SOL.
TJ is lucky. Don't kid yourself. The Rams have noted this, plus all the other baggage that TJ brings w/ him. Yes, NFL employers are not like most employers; they give their players more latitude than other employers. And, it's possible some teams give their players more latitude than others. But, I'm promising you that if TJ turns out to be more of a headache for the team than an asset, he'll get traded. Then, he'll get traded, again, then...... Is that the lifestyle he wants in the NFL? He'd better think about it. He'll be in the headlines for the wrong reasons. This guy better shape up, and fast.
eGrizzers are no different than anyone else: We like to see UM players in the NFL, and take interest in them long after leaving UM. We're like dads wanting our "sons" to succeed in football. We may be unique in this regard. So, yes, we come down on TJ for not shaping up in this first, most important step in his NFL career. I do not recall any other UM player in the NFL that had this problem.
All TJ had to do was realize he has, possibly for the first time in his life, A REAL JOB. If I were TJ, I'd have damned well flown to St. Louis the day before practice, gave a wakeup call to the motel, gone to bed early, etc., etc. At 20+ years of age, this guy still has a lot of growing up to do. I hope he can do it.

:shock: First, jcu, I should have known better than reply to you. Second, I don't think you know what it means to have a job, let alone, get one. Third, you, like TJ, should grow up. Fourth, I shouldn't have replied to this post. Silly me. Fifth, reply all you want to this post, but the thread will move on for more mature discussion. You little prick.jcu27 said:

I always show up to work and ten minutes early too. But, this isn't the point. There's no need to be concerned about what Tj is doing. It's his life and he screws up with what he's been blessed with it's his fault and will pay the price. If he straightens out, good for him. But, there's no need to get this worked up over him missing a practice. Especially when most of us don't even know him.

I completely agree with JCU on this. :thumb: As for how he got there, well, not so much.

Western Sugar is a factory moron. Plus there's only about 6 mexicans that work there. Mostly whites some asians and some mexicans. But, clearly you don't know what WS is. Use google. Plus imo 1800 a month isn't too bad for a 20 year old. And once campaign starts I'll be putting in a bid for a job in the mill which pay is 20-30 an hour. Which I'll probably get on since my brother already works in that area and is a boss in there aswell.PTGrizzly said:
