, but the fact that you would attempt to hail a weird Covid year team as your "best ever" just seems kind of odd to me given how much of everything was "off" during that season.



apparently this "reporter" from ESPN was affected by the WuFlu as much as anyone or more than most.

he's definitely "off" with this type of remark.

I don't care that Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl in 2020 its still a Bullshite year.

*Anyone that watches football knows that the 2019 LSU Tigers could drop 50 on anyone and there was never a team that was built to stop it.

Lmao is he really THAT guy? Good god. He’s beyond idiotic. ESPN and the sports media in general have such a smug and douche-like approach when it comes to analytics. We all know LSU was the top ranked team that season and likely all time. What metric or otherwise analysis would say they were thr 3rd ranked team? I’d be curious to see who’d even be above them in said metric. He’s trying to carry on and not make his metric look as asinine as he does with now saying Alabama in 2020 had the better team.

LSU defeated 7 top 10 teams by an average of 19 pts

no one is even close to this kind of resume

and many games LSU gave up a late TD

Texas, Florida, and Alabama game come to mind

we put a beat down on everyone that year

Clemson we beat 42-25, and took a knee on their 5 to end the game

What a douch!!

He could have named earlier Bama teams if he is that biased, but he picks Covid Bama

LSU19 beat what 7 top 10 teams, and that included 4 top 5 teams... Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Clemson... That is insane!!

The debate is only 2019 LSU with 2001 Miami, 2004 USC, and 1995 Nebraska. There are no other teams in that conversation.


IMO 1998 Kansas State and 2011 LSU would've been in that discussion had they won it all. But we got screwed and KSU had one of the worst chokes in sports history.

Nothing like a Bama fan boy clinging to anything to try an downplay the 2019 LSU dominance. 2019 Bama would have beat 2020 Bama. But they will cling to that COVID year at all cost to try an put themselves up there with the Tigers magical season. Oh well who gives a frick with some inbred Gump says anyway

Regardless of what some knob from ESPN ranks a Bama team. I’m taking that 2019 LSU offense against anybody.

Just stupid. 1) It wasn’t even as talented of a roster as LSU 2019, 2) LSU defeated more ranked teams and did it on the road in front of loud hostile crowds 3) Alabama played in empty stadiums on the road with no adverse conditions, 4) Top players all over the conference and nation opted out especially in the SEC so the conference wasn’t even as good. So he’s full of shite.

[quote]LINK ]

This link proves the opposite of what you think it proves. The rankings the thread is based on is about best team ever. Greeny is talking about best season ever which is unquestionably LSU. He literally says in the first line people can debate all day about best team, but not best season.

That’s the problem when people lose their minds over this shite. LSU is in the conversation for best team ever, which is what this is. If this was a list about best season ever and LSU wasn’t first, then I could understand all the whining.

Did anyone write an epic poem about 2020 Bama?



No, no they didn’t.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that. So many big time players didn't even play that year for many teams and he says that stupid shite when the competition wasn't even the same that Alabama played. ??

As Joe, Ja'Marr, and Justin continue to tear it up in the NFL, that argument is going to hold less and less water as time goes by.

Also, ESPN hates LSU
