Nice of him to throw this in for pretty much no reason.

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

Good read. It gives me more confidence in where the team is.

First time in my life I find myself agreeing with most of a GG article.

If the booers had half a brain, they would realize playing Jefferson means no redshirt. They should have been cheering. Next year is Mett's.

NOWHERE in that article is that written at all, and quite frankly I'm getting a little sick of all the dishonesty all around with this.

People automatically saying it was booing Jefferson himself and never considering the fact that it was obviously the decision to put Jefferson in in the first place. SURE there were some who were booing Jefferson the person, but I'm not so ridiculous and ignorant of people's feelings on this to believe that the majority of fans were booing Jefferson himself rather than what they saw as a decision which slighted Lee who had brought us to this point.

HOWEVER, that is why booing has no place here, because it's too ambiguous as to what is actually being booed, and so it should clearly be stopped. In any case, I didn't like the decision, but more so, I really didn't care for the insertion of JJ into a drive and then Lee coming in to try and get a pass completed on 3rd down. My REAL issue with it is that I think it builds to CONFUSION and halts momentum.

All I can say is this. If LSU tries to use JJ as a run QB against Alabama, then it's going to fail miserably.

I am an admitted JL supporter, but I agree with Miles' decision to get JJ some playing time ASAP.

With such a hard schedule, with many tough games left, we will need JJ at some point. It is important to get him ready to play and get him some confidence. Ask Florida what happens when you only have one QB that can actually step in and contribute.

Yesterday's cupcake game was the perfect opportunity for JJ to get the rust off, and those that booed are just idiots if they can't see that.

Bottom line, is Jarrett Lee's parents raised a fine young man. They should be proud of his character.

To all the non booers out there I ask this one question. Did ya'll not boo at the apparent loss to Tennessee last year?

Do you think that the players and coaches were able to decifer the booing and cusing, and trash throwing was not direct at them but rather at the Tennessee fans for winning.
