AUTUmike 79 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've wondered the same. That would be awfully hard for a D-1 QB to play multiple sports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTiger 12,979 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If he redshirts, maybe he plays his first year. Then again, remember Charlie Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggwilliams 61 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I hope not, we have one sports program that we focus on. That is football. We are embarrassed by baseball, football, and basketball. But we focus on football. I just hope we get less embarrassing at that sport first.

But we focus on football. I just hope we get less embarrassing at that sport first. You are probably correct....I just find it sad that AU fans consider the school to be a one-trick pony. JJ gets the blame for the poor results in sports other than football...but I expect he knows where the votes are and he is just responding to the many AU fans who feel this way. I think back to the days of Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, Gabe Gross and the many other football players that played baseball, ran track and even a few that spent some time on the basketball team. Other SEC schools seem to be able to allow their athletes to play more than one sport. Over the years we've lost a few pretty good prospects over the school's "one sport policy" and I'm not sure AU benefits from that policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,253 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 JJ imo will not play BB at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,868 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, I think it's highly unlikely we'll see JJ on the hardwood. He obviously has the ability to play either, but logistically, it's pretty far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our men (swimming) have won something like 17 straight SEC championships and nobody cares. I guarantee when the streak is snapped people will pay attention but for now it seems like nobody cares.

Mikey 16,673 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Swimmin only counts in procreation and the Olympics. Go to a swim meet at Auburn some time. It's a great experience and you'll learn to care, I promise! I saw a squib on the TV a while back. Baylor fields 19 sports for men and women and ALL NINETEEN made it to post season play. BAYLOR! Based on that, there's little excuse for Auburn to be having such poor across the board results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerDevil 3 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Jeremy johnson won Mr. Football and is expected to win Mr. Basketball, so I think its up to him. South carolina's starting WR Bruce Ellington is the basketball teams 2nd leading scorer. It can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBourne 425 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Maybe it would help generate the type of interest that we need to attract more basketball fans while helping to lift the program up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that, there's little excuse for Auburn to be having such poor across the board results. Very true! AU swimming and diving is big time and is enjoyable to keep up with. But on the Jermey Johnson playing basketball note, I am not in favor (since the Athletic Department asked me, lol). I don't mind a guy playing two sports at AU, I just dont know that I would want my potential starting QB (of the future, not 2013) and possible "future face of the program" playing BBall. Too much to risk if his primary reason for coming to AU is for football. Not saying football is more important, just saying he signed on to play QB on the football team. That is his commitment, anything else is just extra. I would hate it for him and for the football team if he were to get hurt playing BBall.

Say hello back and tell Charlie both games have changed a bunch in the last 20 years. These days he would have had to pick a sport and stick to that one.
