re: One reason why LSU fans took the title game loss so badly

I have a lot more than one reason:

1. We lost the National Championship
2. It was BAMA, and they never accepted that we "really" beat them the first time. National media didn't seem to accept it either.
3. THis is still a grat season, but it fell one game short of being almost magical, of being considered one of the greatest college football teams of all time. Our overall reoord/schedule is still WAY more impressive than BAMA's.
4. We should have never have had to play them again.
5. It was Saban-not the same as Bama.
6. LSU was totally outcoached.
7. It reinforced the idea that many people do have-that Miles plays favorites. I know a lot of LSU fans who don't get why JJ wasn't pulled from both the SECCG and the BCSCG, or why he even became the starter again when he was needed in only 1 game, the first BAMA game. How did going into that game justify Lee's benching after the great season he was having. IMHO, JL wins every other game but that one.
8. A lot of people don't like the way JL was treated in general. Would we really have been undefeated going into 1st BAMA game if JJ had started all season?
9. Barrett Jones' comment about "restoring order" exemplifies their whole arrogant attitude, which makes losing to them harder to take than losing to anyone else.
