Wiki

The cross denotes homecoming. It's an SEC game so Florida would be fired up anyways

LSU wins that game if there's no phantom hold and if LSU doesn't botch the opening kickoff of the 2nd half for a safety.

2006 team should have gone 14-0. Probably the most talent LSU's ever put on the field.

That team dominated so thoroughly in their wins, multiple 40+ MOV games and DESTROYED Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, 2 losses prevented us but damn was that team exceptional talent-wise. JaMarcus was actually a GREAT gunslinger then.

Strange how the greatest special teams moments or frickups always seem to happen when we play UF.

LSU was the best team in the country by a good bit in 2006. Probably wasn't in 2007. It all evened out.

LSU just didn't play well that day. I think talent wise they were superior to Florida

That Auburn game was a travesty of justice.

I was there, just shitty trip all around. Jmarc also had his worst game that day. But that Auburn game pissed me off more. Still the only game I truly feel we were fricked from start to finish and the fix was on.

Pig sooie had a roller coaster team that year. They got waxed at home by USC in the opener, then went on a 10 game win streak until the Tigers came to town. They ended the year with 3 straight losses.

That was one of my favorite games. McFadden ran straight over Laron Landry for something like an 80 yard touchdown and then Holliday returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown. Arkansas won the west, but lsu went on to the sugar.

2011 team was easily more talented than 2006.

I'd say 2006's offense gives that team the overall edge against 2011. 2011's defense vs 2006's offense is a wash, but it's hard to argue that 2011's offense would compare with 2006's defense, which was still very solid. The 2011 team put lots of points on the board, but a lot of that was due to the defense putting them in excellent field position.

Anyways, that 2006 Florida game is definitely in the top 3 most frustrating games to watch. I don't think I've ever seen a college team make so many critical errors in one game. IIRC, LSU's miscues included:

-Fumbling at UF's 1-yard line
-Fumbling a kickoff return
-Fumbling a punt return
-Allowing UF to block a punt

I'm sure I'm missing a couple more...

The incredible thing is - considering UF was the eventual national champion - that they still only lost that game by 13 points. Had the situations been reversed, and it was UF making all those costly mistakes, LSU would've won in a 42-14 blowout.

I'm talking about actual talent on the team. 2011 wins that going away. Just look at who moved on to the NFL from each team.
