And By The Way…
…I think I’ve finally figured out what happened that night at Shady’s.
I think it was Les Miles who kicked the kid in the head and Jordan Jefferson took the fall for it.
No other explanation for Jefferson playing that whole night will suffice.
Congratulations to Alabama. They wanted it more than LSU and they took what they wanted. From those of us not in a position to do anything about what happened on the field, thanks to Miles and his team for getting us this far – and no thanks for having to put up with the interminable douchebags in red until November.
It’s 2012 and the Zack Mettenberger Era has begun. Not a minute too soon, too.
Amen!
And amen!
The best thing about that game was that I will never have to watch JJ again.
I don’t think the above could quite be true… the worst possible thing for JJ was to be left in that game. No matter what from here on out, JJ will ALWAYS be remembered for THAT game. And it will get brought up many times.
Hope this isn’t true, but worth sharing on this site:
If any of this is
true, it is not a good thing for LSU.

Some of it adds
up. Mike Lloyd (former LSU baseball player friend in Baton Rouge) said
this story is picking up steam as more players are confirming this
happened.
The truth (maybe)
emerges… (Posted on 1/12/12 at 7:59 p.m.)
I just heard this
from a friend with ties to the LSU athletic department. I am not sure if it is
true or not but a lot of the pieces fit. Apparently about 3 hours before the
game T-Bob and Russell Shepard 2 other receivers and a hand full of linemen got
into a heated argument with Les Miles and the Offensive Coordinator about Lee
getting more playing time and possibly starting the BCS Championship game. It
got so heated that Miles benched T-Bob and RS and 3 other players.
He called Lee into his
office and told Lee that he would not be playing in the game. The OC told Miles
that he thought that Lee gave the team the best chance to win the game. Miles
told the OC to start looking for a new job after the game and Miles will be
calling the plays for the championship game. Apparently the O Line sided with
T-Bob and Lee and did not give their all in the game to prove to Miles that the
players are more important then the coach.
Now I know that this is
hard to believe but when you look at some things it kind of explains a few
things: I will list some. Read option pass (on 3rd and 10) 4 times. Running the same 5 plays
over 90% of the game. Horrible play calling. Running the ball in the 4th
quarter down by 21. T-Bob not taking a snap. RS only playing 3 snaps and not
touching the ball or getting looked at. Lee getting off the bus and walking 10
feet behind the team with his head down and looking dejected. Heated argument between
receivers and JJ and O Line with O line coach on sidelines. And the kicker,
reports that 2/3rds of the plays practiced were not run and the players were
not told why.
Again I do not know if
this is entirely true but there seems to be a lot of truth in it just by seeing
what happened.
