I'm like many others on here that I don't think I will fully recover from 1/9/12 until LSU wins a natty again or Alabama goes on like a 5 game losing streak to LSU. That season was magical as a freshman at LSU but ended as a nightmare that will scar me for a long time. I think I honestly handle LSU losing a lot easier since that game just because none of them will ever hurt as much as that one.

That one hurt, but I pretty much blacked out. Like, not even from alcohol, just blacked it out because it was so bad I guess. It is all a blur. I was on the 2nd row and I could only tell you like four plays the whole game. I have been to a ton of games in a row and I can tell you about 10 or 15 plays from all the big games I've been to recently. But not that game.

It hurt, but I could fall back on how amazing of a season it was. That was the best team we've ever had, and you have to appreciate that. Florida in 2012 is probably still the toughest loss I've ever taken as a fan.

ETA: LSU really should have won the national championship in 2012 if you look at the course of how everything was going. At the time, I thought we'd be okay when Mathieu got kicked off the team. But looking back, we really missed his playmaking. We were great in 2011, and obviously had a great shot at the national championship, but you could argue we were a year early. I really thought we were going to get it in 2012.

Either way, 2011 and 2012 LSU were two great teams that I'll remember forever. Two of the greatest teams in school history.
