Why LSU?

Let me start by saying that I'm not a NegaTiger. I have been attending LSU games since i was a child, and believe me I know that we are in the midst of the "Glory Years" of LSU Football.
But,
Why does LSU always seem to not be able to Finish off "the perfect season"?
2003- Split NC with USC (debate surrounding the true Nat. Champ)
2007- LSU needed a lot of help getting into the game, although we won, we heard a lot of if's and but's that year as well. (first 2 loss team to win it all....)
which brings me to 2011
Riding high all season with double digit wins over every opponent (save BAMA)
Nasty Defense that shut down most everyone
Offense that was not stellar, but was able to put up some yardage and points.
Unreal Special Teams play
But just when we get our chance to have "the perfect season" we go and shite the bed on the biggest stage in all of College Football.
It seems no matter how great we look, or how great we play, all of our seasons are somewhat marred by one or two games.
Why can't we seem to put together that dream season? 14-0 Undisputed BCS/AP Champs

Ask the other 125 schools in the NCAA if they would like to be in our position......the easy answer.....because it is really hard. We got a bad break this year having to play Bama again. If we play anyone else (I MEAN ANYONE ELSE)we have your "dream" season. Think about the number of things that broke Bama's way to get that shot again.

yes even though the way our offense looked I suspect the BCSNG against a non bama opponent (OK State) would have been like the ark and UGA game, we start slow then, turn on the jets and win on a comeback.
