I know it's a few days behind us, but obviously fans are still looking for answers. Just thought I'd post this and ask for your thoughts. I am not sure if it is true or not but a lot of the pieces fit. This was heard from someone with ties to the LSU athletic department.

"Apparently about 3 hours before the game T-Bob Hebert and Russell Shepard and 2 other receivers and a hand full of linemen got into a heated argument with Les Miles and the Offensive Coordinator about Lee getting more playing time and possibly starting the BCS Championship game. It got so heated that Miles benched T-Bob and RS and 3 other players. He called Lee into his office and told Lee that he would not be playing in the game. The Offensive CO told Miles that he thought that Lee gave the team the best chance to win the game. Miles told the OC to start looking for a new job after the game and Miles will be calling the plays for the championship game.

Apparently the O Line sided with T-Bob and Lee and did not give their all in the game to prove to Miles that the players are more important then the coach. Now I know that this is hard to believe but when you look at some things it kind of explains a few things: I will list some:

Playcalling: Read option pass on 3rd and 10 - 4 times. Running the same 5 plays over 90% of the game. Overall, Horrible play calling. Running the ball in the 4th quarter with 9mins and down by 21. T-Bob Hebert not taking a snap in the game. RS only playing 3 snaps and not touching the ball or getting looked at. Lee getting off the bus and walking 10 feet behind the team with his head down and looking dejected while walking into the Dome. Heated argument between receivers and JJ and O Line with O line coach on sidelines.

And the kicker, reports that 2/3 rds. of the plays that were practiced up to the game were not ran and the players were not told why. Again I do not know if this is entirely true but there seems to be a lot of truth in it just by seeing what happened in the game."

There are a lot of things that have been kept under wraps. All of the people blaming Les for not playing Lee need to understand this. I can't give out details, but from what I've heard, the fact that Lee was even allowed to dress out for the game is a testament to how much Les does to protect his players and their image.

It took a few days for the shell shock to wear off, but the LSU conspiracy machine is finally hitting on all cylinders.

I know a couple of things. The only one I'm willing to tell is I was told by a former player that Lee went as far as cussing out Kragthorp sometime after the November 5 game.

Well, that's all I'm saying on it. That was told to me in person. There's always the chance this person could have been given bad information, but he seemed pretty confident in what he was telling me.

Truth:

arse. Coach: "Coach we need to start so and so.

Head coach: " Game starts in 3 hours. You bring this up now?"

Players: " I know it has been 5 weeks since we had a game, but we didn't have the balls to bring it up to you until now. Oh, and can you get someone to help me tape up my ankles?"

Coach: "Y'all must be a bunch of damn idiots."

All: "No, we're not! And to prove it, we are going to play and pout like three year olds so we can all look stupid on national TV."

Coach: "What the frick have I gotten into?"

Basically, this is what you are saying went down.

How idiotic.

So if a couple of these guys got in his face, why did he let them play at all and just totally bench one? Even if it was just for 3 plays?

I saw this on FB and it's spreading like wild-fire. Not because it's anywhere close to being true, but just because people are so desperate to find an answer other than they weren't the better team.

This story needs a cheerleader with a whipped cream bikini or else I'm calling shenanigans.

If this was true than Less will not be around next season, He has lost this team and 2012 will be a train wreck. Sad because your preseason number 1.
