    Hell, the story of the Lee benching has never come out. We will likely never know Les' reasoning on this matter.

    The AD does seem to have clamped down on media leaks since the reports of the failed drug tests last year. Since then, sporadic rumors about Lee's grades and the drug test from a couple of weeks ago, but not a peep in local or national media outlets.

    That or the JJ re-instatement. I think the cause of TM's problems is that he thought Miles would never throw him off the team because he was a star. The fact that JJ was not thrown off the team after being charged was enough for TM to believe it.

    Why should JJ have been thrown off the team after the charges were reduced to not much more than a speeding ticket?

    It was a freakin bar fight against a douchebag.

    There is a misconception out there that 3 failed drug test equals automatic dismissal. The student athlete handbook says different and the max penalty is 1 year suspension. (Well I can't say max because Miles could kick someone off for 1 failed drug test if he sees fit.)

    I would have failed hundreds of them when I was at LSU....seriously. I used to bust up with Red in the ampitheater in the 70s. Here's a picture of Red back then....very rare snapshot
