In Minnesota it wouldve been a slap on the wrist ticket..

 

[Iceland12]

Well that explains the rambling nature of his rants.

 

[station19]

Could it be an anxiety disorder?

 

[GoldenHerbs]

GL beat me to the punch. Cant say I didnt smile when reading this story, wonder how UofH handles this?

 

[Gopherprof]

He was just holding it for his Mom's friend

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

What a treatment plan! To heck with ice.

 

[wait!what?]

[Flatfoot]

Really wish he would have caught for possession of the ball when he was here instead, but now he is on ice.

[John Galt]

Where is Go4Broke, AJ's defender?

 

[justthefacts]

I wonder what his mom's best friend thinks of this?

[any other references we're missing?]

 

[JoeDirt]

Well that explains the rambling nature of his rants.

And the fact he hit "send"

 

[MNfootballfan]

Good thing he got that scholarship so he could save money to pay the $500 bail!

 

[e.bigelow]

I really hate to laugh at circumstances like this, but, HAHAHAHHAA! Too funny.

 

[OddStack]

Apparently, marijuana doesn't make his ankle feel stiff.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Karma is a beeootttchhh!!!!

 

[Dr.Don]

So A.J. got caught with Mary Jane. Couldn't happen to a better jerk..

All in all, I wish him luck. Bad luck, that is.

 

[e.bigelow]

Wait, wait, I bet he thinks coach kill planted it to get back him!

 

[Dr.Don]

Wait, wait, I bet he thinks coach kill planted it to get back him!

I disagree...I bet he thinks it was the training staff.

 

[e.bigelow]

I disagree...I bet he thinks it was the training staff.

HAHAHA! Definitely!

No wonder why the training staff didn't like his rehab regimen.

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Its being reported that he never was an actual member of the team in Houston?

Heard that on KFAN but I can never tell if Common Man is telling the truth or not.

Or mom's best friend.

All over twitter too confirming it

 

[tikited]

Groovy.

Four possibilities:
1. School started Monday and he was arrested Sunday, thus hadn't started school.
2. Perhaps he was gray shirting until fall.
3. He had no scholarship at all.
4. KFAN is wrong.

Michael Rand from the Strib tweeted this, and he's very reliable:

Houston athl. spokesman: "A.J. Barker is not a member of our football team and was not offered a scholarship as some outlets have reported"
