I prefer Lee to Jefferson by a wide margin, but even I am sick of this shite. JJ is playing, it's over, let's move on.

Let's just move on folks. Lee probably and I am only assuming that he got really mental after that Alabama game and stopped going to class and his grades suffered as a result! Case closed!

why, let him keep playing and eventually fail while turning a blind eye to whats really important...getting a degree. Please refrain from this idotic thought process. Les Miles cares about his players and you dont know what the frick your talking about

since we don't have all the info, I'm going to assume that Les took the load off of Lee so that he could get his grades in order to save him the embarrassment of missing the BCSCG because of academics. Of course I realize that is too boring and logical for some, so let's continue to assume something sinister is at play so that we can be outraged!!! We Are The Rant!
Exactly. I guess it's just hard for some to grasp the fact that a coach actually cares about the student half of student-athlete.

Exactly! Why is it people can't imagine that Lee probably hasn't been able to watch as much film, prepare, etc. because he has had to focus on his grades.

I've never heard of a player losing playing time for what grades they could possibly make in the future. LSU high-ups leaked info to certain radio hosts that Lee's grades were the reason that he wasn't playing against Western Kentucky and Ole Miss. I get the whole Les Miles wants Jordan Jefferson as his starter, I really do. But blah, blah, blah fricking blah, blah, blah...
Thirteen and zero.
That is all.

Is Jarrett Lee the only player that Les cares about? I never realized that no LSU player in the last 7 years has not even been close to being inelgible come Nov. 6th. Jarrett Lee is a 5th year senior, I'm sure he'll graduate at some point. What's LSU's graduation rate under Les Miles? If it's not 100% then your argument is invalid because LSU has never sat a player in November because they might be elgible in January.
Once again, Les can play whichever players he feels give them the best chance to win, but don't leak out information claiming academic issues if it's not true.

How much time would you want to invest in a player, in practice and a game, who might not even be able to contribute in the postseason?

Why then is the rumor being pushed by the LSU people that Jarret Lee "might" be academically inelgible?
