Not sure why you claim we recovered from 21-0

We didn’t

That game broke LSU for more than half a decade and heralded the sad decline of miles. The entire program became a stale shell after that


Ok. But why? We split with them that year and we made the title game. Why did that lead to a decline? It was a fantastic year by all measurable indicators.

Other programs suffer way worse with no effect.

Our fans act like getting killed by Alabama tomorrow will be some death knell.

I don’t want to lose and I’m sure I’ll be pissed during the game. But I don’t expect a lasting negative effect, just as our beat downs last year had none on those programs.

No one wants to hear it, but 2011 was pretty fluky: we had like a +20 turnover margin, the SEC was about as weak as it's been in recent memory, we should have lost the first game in Tuscaloosa, we had no first downs in the entire first half against Georgia until Mathieu's return TD flipped the momentum, etc.

Miles' Bo Schembechler philosophy was not going to win in the modern era
