Game of the century


bullshite.

It was, and remains, worthless because Alabama got another shot.

Hit the wayback...let's suppose the outcome was reversed (LSU loses in OT 9-6). LSU then goes on to win out, and does not go to the SECCG because Alabama won the west.

Does LSU get another shot?

Answer - frick no. Alabama/Saban would be using every bit of juice it/he had to keep that from happening, and it would not have.

Damn you are mad. It's fun to watch it and enjoy the moment and remember the context. No LSU would not have got a rematch.

No way of knowing that. BAMA got the rematch and put an exclamation point on the end of the argument with a 21-0 butt kicking that created distance between the two programs that we have still not closed to this day. Not sure why people still belly ache about the rematch. If you are the better team in Tuscaloosa during the season, then you should be the better team in Jan coming off a months rest at a "neutral" site 87 Miles from your campus. End of story. We had a "do over" in 07' after choking against Arkansas at home to end the season. We took full advantage and won the NC game. Let it go and hope Les has assembled enough talent and coaching expertise to go along with his program leader skills to reach the summit again!!

Did it send you to an SEC Championship Game that you won?

If so its not worthless.

I'll trade 2011 seasons with you right now.

Udt, take a deep breath man........

While you are 100% correct in your belief that nothing short of a media anointing breathed life into a foe vanquished in their own home (the oil used also poisoned the sweetest college season ever put together, btw/IMO), take solace in a couple of things:

1. Fully one, and partly another of our recent championships were kinda/sorta delivered by that same media, and

2. The travesty that was "Bama/LSU - this time it counts ("no, really, it does")" was SUCH a miscarriage that the viewing public actually thought it was an abortion. Want proof? 3 years later, national championships are delivered under an entirely new set of procedures. Man up, accept the pain, and realize that Alabama's gluttonous appetite and whorish behavior in 2011 ensured the next whore doesn't just get her way because she freely slings it from both drawer legs. That fact alone is at least worth something.
