You guys are going to give JL a win for the Bama game?

No, but you can't give a W and a L for a single game. I think they gave JJ the credit for winning the first Bama game, so Lee gets no credit or, to used Miles new favorite terms, discredit for the first game. As such, Lee was 8-0 in 2011 and JJ was 5-1. By the same token, Lee should have received credit for the 2010 Wins against Florida and Tennessee, because without him any reasonable person would conclude those as losses if JJ played the whole game (like the belief/assertion that Bama game one with Lee playing the whole way would have been a loss).
