re: How much of a factor did the 2019 National Championship game being in New Orleans matter

Zero. That team should be revered. Tear up when you tell your grandkids about it type team. Didn't matter in Austin or Tuscaloosa or Atlanta. Feel like Joe and the boys would've loved to take that game to the fake valley and drag nuts on that gay arse rock.

None. They'd have beaten Clemson in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Clemson, Beijing, Moscow, or anywhere else that game could have been played.

How much did it matter for us to get the W? None. That freaking team could have played the game at Clemson and still won.

Sentimentally it mattered a little probably. It made it easier for LSU faithful to make the game and probably raised ticket prices on the secondary market.

Ironically, I think LSU would probably have done better in 11 somewhere other than Nola.

It certainly would have helped the drunk who was assaulted with Gump testicles if it wasn't in NOLA.

It mattered most in 2003 imo since neither the LSU program nor Saban were yet established as to what we’d become. Our opponents in 2007 and 2019 were just way overmatched and we’d have still won convincingly anywhere.

2011 is really the most interesting. I have wondered if it’d have been different if that NCG were played anywhere else

There were a ton of cool stats that year, but the coolest 2 to me were these:


Prior to 2019, LSU won 3 National Championships. The post season opponents in those three were Clemson, Ohio State and OU… all of whom made the playoffs in 2019

All of LSU’s national titles have come when the final post season game was in New Orleans.

How much of a factor did the 2019 National Championship game being in New Orleans matter
I will say it really throws off the juju this years national championship not being in NOLA.

03
07
11
15* not in Nola, LSU breaks 4 yr national title cycle
19
23* not in Nola

All of the above championship appearances were in NOLA. Throws off the cycle this year’s championship being in Houston. I don’t like it.


That stat is crazy! All the Natty’s played for were in NOLA, even ‘58 we played Syracuse in Sugar Bowl stadium and yes I know they voted before bowls back then but had to be nice to put an undisputed bow on it with a bowl win! Even the one that got away (‘11) was there. Something about LSU Football ?? and party ?? city NOLA I guess that screams IM #1 BITCH!!!!!!!!

It mattered on my ability to attend.

That team would have won in Siberia.
