Fantastic Article about how Jarett Lee has handled his benching | TigerFan.com

T-Time · Jan 8, 2012

I am shocked to see such a well written article on ESPN, but it makes me appreciate Jarett Lee even more, I wish him the best as a True Tiger who really does bleed purple and gold and would do anything for his team.

Lee has a lot of experience with everything. His bizarre LSU career has been an elevator ride up and down the depth chart, with stops for a national championship in 2007 and, who knows, maybe another one after Monday's night's Allstate BCS National Championship against Alabama.

He's been the big-time recruit. The frustrated player who thought about transferring over lack of playing time. The emotionally fragile quarterback who couldn't shake a botched throw.

In 2011, he went from potential third-stringer to starter and then back to second-teamer. But without him, LSU wouldn't be No. 1, undefeated and four quarters away from another ring fitting. CBS analyst Gary Danielson even said during a late-season broadcast that Lee would be his choice as the Tigers' team MVP. And he's right.

Stephen Lee won't be in a hotel room watching the national title game on TV. He and the entire Lee family will be in the Superdome. Meanwhile, West will be in San Antonio for a national coaches' convention. But he'll find the nearest flat screen Monday night. He'll root, as always, for Lee.

"I hope you call me on Tuesday and you want to do another interview because Jarrett took them for the winning score on the final drive," said West.

Wouldn't that be something? It would be the perfect ending to an imperfect LSU career.

I would give him the MVP award for winning those first 8 games.

I'm glad to see how much he has endeared himself to the LSU fan base after being so vilified by them during the 2008 season.

Great article. If we can bring this last W home, I'll be telling my grandkids about this season many years from now and Lee will be one of the main characters.
