re: GG: LSU, Lee & Jefferson United Against Some of Their Fans

If Miles had been this forceful when announcing the reinstatement, there might have been less tension.

Unlikely. If he said anything that indicated that JJ would play at all, the same thing would have happened. The conspiratorialists would not have been satisfied short of a declaration that JJ was off the team or would not play this season. I took Miles earlier comments as an indication that
JL was and would remain the starter unless he began playing badly. I think that was the reasonable understanding.

Even the quoted statement will looked at by the anti-JJ faction as an example of MIles' looking for an excuse to bench JL for JJ.

Bottom line, the anti-JJ crowd needs to let it go. JL is our starter, as he should be. JJ will play, as the coaching staff deems appropriate. The team seems united and content with this, including Lee. Let's all get behind this team, JJ included.
