Title: Today in Irony: LSU’s Hebert & Lee to Grand Marshal Mardi Gras Post by: 2Stater on February 07, 2012, 10:43:55 PM http://www.rantsports.com/sec-football/2012/01/24/today-in-irony-lsus-hebert-lee-to-grand-marshal-mardi-gras/
Quote Sometimes situations arise that are just too ironic for words. According to sources, former LSU Tiger football players Jarrett Lee and T-Bob Hebert are set to be Grand Marshals, representing Metairie, Louisiana’s Zeus Krewe during Mardi Gras. You might think: Why is this ironic? Here’s why. Both Lee and Hebert did not play at all during the BCS National Championship– the reasons why are a little murky. Rumors exploded following the National Championship game that Hebert, Russell Shepherd and members of the coaching staff were a part of a heated argument with Les Miles about whether or not Jordan Jefferson should get the start at quarterback over fifth-year senior Jarrett Lee. Lee didn’t take a snap in the National Championship game, in spite of the poor performance by Jordan Jefferson, and instead wasted away on the LSU bench without even the chance to turn things around for a Tigers offense that was stagnant and ineffective. Hebert never saw the field– why is anyone’s guess. Other rumors suggested that Jordan Jefferson in fact out the night before the National Championship game at Harrah’s casino in New Orleans and performed poorly given his lack of preparation and rest. I wonder how many Krewe floats will have CLM hung in effigy. :lol: Title: Re: Today in Irony: LSU’s Hebert & Lee to Grand Marshal Mardi Gras Post by: Chechem on February 08, 2012, 04:38:08 AM All sorts of stories are coming out.

Quote About 3 hours before the game T-Bob Hebert, Russell Shepard, 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, 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... http://neworleansrising.wordpress.com/tag/t-bob/The story suggests that LSU's offensive line didn't play hard on purpose, and Jefferson was "purportedly at Harrah’s a couple of nights & drinking heavily", so the players were pissed. The Les Miles meltdown continues. "Make their ashes quit" has taken effect.
