LSU lobbied for the Sugar Bowl. However, the Sugar Bowl selected Ole Miss over LSU. Yes, Manning had beaten LSU, but Ole Miss had 3 losses that '69 season.
Needless to say, bad feelings between LSU and the Sugar and Cotton Bowls lingered for many years.
Sugar came to LSU before they came to Ole Miss in 1969. LSU said no ,thinking they'd get the Cotton.
For all of the 'Sugar Bowl screwed LSU' stuff, how do you explain two years earlier after the 1967 season the Sugar inviting a 6-3-1 LSU team who was actually awarded and accepted the bid before the last game?

Bottom line:
The COTTON BOWL screwed LSU.
The COTTON BOWL screwed LSU.

1) because the last game was the Greenies?
2) They were deperate that year (vs Wyoming!)?
