For the next week: elation, wild predictions mixed with throw-down trash talking, slight amount of negation.

Dec 11-17 - Anticipation of grades, rumors abound, hand-wringing increases, JL nominated for knighthood.

Dec 18-24 - Boredom and topic recycling increases. People start talking a lot of German.

Dec 25-31 - Things quiet down a little bit, comparisons to all the upcoming bowls and "how badly would the Tigers have drubbed XYZ State"

Jan 1-6 - The Rant needs medication for Tiger Mania.

Jan 7-8-9 - Chicken and the admins sleep about an hour a night between thread wacking.

Jan 9th - BIG Celebration!!!

CLM could do a lot to put this to bed right now. Lee's done. We all know it. He should come out and say "while we appreciate all that Jarrett has done to get us here today, we've settled on our QB".

In truth, it's not a 2 QB system. Yesterday proved that. I would have benched JJ after the 3rd 3&out. Lee's taken his last meaningful snap as a Tiger. If Les gets that out and gives the fans a couple of weeks to let it sink in, everyone will be fine by New Year's.

What would your prediction have been had we lost?

Pretty sure I'd have stayed away for a month or so

I shudder to think. I think, like you, I'd have stayed away for awhile so as not to be pulled into the Post-Traumatic-Stress black hole.

This!!! I think that most fans respect that the coach should make the decisions. The problem is that Les says things and then does something different. Don't say that you are going to play 2 QB's and then not give JL a chance when JJ is having the absolute worst night in football history. Be even handed and truthful and there would be no controversy. Even a no comment would be better than what he has done.

Now for all you flamers - STFU. This is not about the ability of Les to coach...it's about his PR ability, which I think that most everyone can agree on, STINKS.

I can't remember, and I'd appreciate it if someone would point it out, that Miles ever said that Jefferson lost his starting QB position. Jefferson was suspended and was worked back into the lineup, but his position as starting remained, right?

As far as PR goes, Miles has handled all of the adversity this team has been through brilliantly. He's protected his players while, in the end, maintaining the integrity of his program.

Honest to God, why does he have to explain to you, in detail, his reasoning on playing his QB's the way he has chosen to do (along with his offensive staff)?

Absolutely the worst sports message board I've ever seen. Nobody is welcome there unless they are polishing Gump knobs.

And what does this have to do with PR???

He doesn't "have to explain" anything to me or the fans...he does need to be truthful though. Telling lies and "maintaining integrety" are mutually exclusive.
