Don't shoot me for asking. They won the sec, but lost the big one against a fellow sec team. Will they honor that team in 2021?

That was one of the best football teams LSU ever had. That defense was practically nfl loaded and every opponent struggled against it.

They deserve to be be, but its never going to happen. That team will always be linked to the NC Game and the decline that followed.

Maybe a 10 year reunion, maybe 20 after 1/9.

11 losses in 3 years after undefeated SEC Champs is a decline. Twist and turn all you want it's the truth. Doesn't mean LSU can't be on an upswing starting this year, but the last 3 following 1/9 were a decline.

The 2011 team failed to get the job done. Failure is not rewarded.



There is something wrong with Silver.

Yea LSU was the laughing stock of the entire country when they won the SEC. No tolerance for failure.

They'll definitely honor them in about 10 years. Especially in about 20 if a couple of those players on that team can have impactful NFL careers.

Besides th '03 season, it was my favorite team to watch even despite the NC loss. I'm a defense oriented person. Played defense myself. Would rather watch a 9-6 game or a 10-7(LSU/Ole Miss) than a 35-42 game. That defense will go down as one of the best ever fielded. And with due respect paid to Alabama, they had one of the best as well. Crazy that it happened in the same year, same conference, same division.

Completely off topic, but in all sports we are witnessing a generation of athletes that will be talked of for the next hundred years. For example Basketball: Lebron/Duncan/Greg Pop, football: Nick Saban/Bill Beli at New England(his continued success is astonishing), Nadal, Federer, Djkov, both Williams in tennis. Tiger Woods in his prime in golf. SF Giants the last five years. Mayweather 48-0 and going for 50. Messi and Ronaldo in soccer. Just honestly fun to watch any sports right now. Exciting decade or so of sports.

That being said:

I would rather watch a 41-10 game like most of theirs were in 2011.

That team was definitely one of the best ever in lsu history..and personally my favorite. So loaded and went through beating top 10 teams week after week. Could of gone down as one of the best seasons ever..thats why it just makes the NC loss that much worse

That team will only ever be known for the 1-9-12 debacle, which was the darkest day in LSU football history. Great team, great players, epic absence on the largest stage.

Sure, let's honor them. Let's also keep Miles as head coach until he retires just because he won the 2007 trophy and had a one loss season in 2011.
