it also has coincided with solid play by Jordan Jefferson, who replaced an ineffective Lee and helped rally the Tigers to a crucial 9-6 overtime victory at No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 5

Stop flaming, advocate.

Tremendous amount of respect for this man

Jefferson had his worst stretch of the season during the first half Saturday as the Tigers failed to get a first down in the first half and trailed, 10-7, at halftime. Jefferson completed just 5 of 13 passes for 30 yards and a touchdown

Jarrett Lee is a consummate teammate and I think every Tiger player, coach and fan knows that this team wouldn't be where they are now without him.

If I was JL, I would told Miles after the Western Kentucky game to shove it where the sun doesn't shine, I'm done! If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't be 9-0 (at the time) and ranked #1 in the country. Miles has screwed over JL BIG TIME, and JL doesn't deserve that.

I'm on the side of the fence that thinks Lee has been mind-fricked since Bama. However, if 6 straight 3 and outs and 12 TOTAL yards in a half don't get you in the game I'm not sure what will. I thought Lee's quick passes might of helped get them off the line a bit but then we go on a 42-0 run so wtf do I know.

So he says that it is all just rumors and stuff. But then he goes on to say, I'm just trying to get in there and get right academically.

MMMM. Seems those are not rumors but truth.

Now how can I get that 10 minutes back?

What's clear in the article is that there is absolutely something to all of the rumors swirling aroung regarding Lee's academic status. He says he's "confident" he'll be eligible, not "I know I'm eligible and there are no problems with my grades". He's saying just enough to allow for the possibility that he might not be able to play in January.
