The 2012 Alabama game

A little off topic given all that’s going on but still the best/worst game I’ve ever been to.
Was reminiscing about it with my dad tonight. I was a freshman OOS student who started following LSU fall of 2011 when I was accepted and decided that’s where I’d go (Halloween morning I got the email!). We’ve always been a big sports family so my dad got into it with me.
He was just saying that was the sickest he’s ever felt after a game. I never really let that game go until 2019 when I saw Joe Burrow and co finally get that monkey off our back.
Anyway that was such a fun day and ultimately one of the great games in Tiger stadium. To this day in my 13 years as a fan, I’ve never seen an atmosphere in sports like that night. I feel like as a sports fan I’ll be chasing that dragon the rest of my life.

It was that loss, not 1/9, that launched Alabama ahead of LSU in the national hierarchy and spelled the eventual end of the Miles era.

2012 and 2014 Bama are two of the best nights ever in Tiger Stadium. Somehow Les put us on the wrong side of both those.

I was a senior. Had to watch LSU lose to Bama twice that year. I was disappointed we lost the natty. I was nauseated we lost in 2012. The stadium was electric. When Landry scored late in the 4th it was euphoric. You could hear a pin drop after the Yeldon screen. That play will give me nightmares until the day I die.

The 2016 bama game was the greatest for atmosphere. I physically felt pressure, a literal weight on my chest and head. Noise reached such a volume as to even put into a sort of mellow hum. It was surreal. Better than 2022 bama, though i was in the student section for 2016.

Same. I guess in a way I haven’t gotten over it
but 2019 really really took the sting out of it. I hate to joke about PTSD but as far as sports PTSD goes, that was as bad as it gets. fricking TJ Yeldon!

I was at that game. Was hoarse for a few days afterwards. I blacked out tailgating and appeared in the stadium for the game. Was an awesome day and experience. A win would’ve made that day perfect.

I was a senior in 2016 snd it was solid. But we never scored or obviously led. That was the 10-0 Jalen Hurts game. It is not on the same level as 2012 where we actually were in the hunt for a national championship until that game. Plus the drama of revenge for 1/9. The 2012 game just had an almost unrepeatable buzz to it.

Huh?
Alabama’s roster in 2012 was wayyyy more talented than LSU’s.
Les’s toughness kept us in that game.
It was Les’s finest hour. Yes the score didn’t show it in the end, but we beat the crap out of Bama. We grinded them to dust except for one outlandish Yeldon screen.
It was a fricking honor watching that game

A lot of people will say 1997 Auburn and 1979 USC.

2014 we had the game won and then Dan Borne jinxed it by telling Tiger fans to stay off the field. Right after that Vandal Alexander (children’s hospital money going to good use!) got the dumb personal foul, we settled for the field goal and the rest is history.

Was a senior, sat in the stadium until almost after the band left with a few buddies. Absolutely gutted me the saddest walk home from Tiger Stadium to Ben Hur in the history of the city.
2019 did exercise that demon a good bit for me

The 2012 game crushed me. Only sporting event I've ever shed tears over. I got thrown out of the bar I was in.
That screen still haunts me.

So much hype leading up to that game. Afterwards it was like we didnt even play. Its hard to explain the feeling. I felt robbed.

The 2012 Bama game was as great as it gets for any sport atmosphere. The 2022 Bama game was 2012 with a different outcome. Was incredible on every level.

Brutal loss fricking hell

the way bama marched down the field with ease on their last possession you just felt like they had it in the bag
then lsu gets the ball and makes it look like they never played football before…Hill catches the toss but failed to get out of bounds and then Met proceeds to get sacked on a 3 man rush

I’ll admit I moved summer 2022 so that was the first bama game home or away I missed since I got accepted to school. I just don’t see how 2022 can equal 2012 simply because of the build up and context of the 2011 season immediately before.
