People forget we were a TD underdog at home.

LSU has lost only 3 games the last two seasons. they were underdogs in all 3. i really don't think people realize this.

2009 Ole Miss-clock it

Here's the thing about that game. Had we won the game, LSU would've finished 3rd in the SEC and gone to the Citrus Bowl. By losing this game, LSU finished 3rd and went to the Citrus Bowl. The loss was about as meaningless as a loss could be. It cost LSU nothing (well, other than millions of stories on clock management)

The 3 Arkansas losses bother me far more. At the time, 2007 was the worst loss we've ever suffered, we just got lucky that it didn't matter. 2008 was a complete give up, and I would argue the worst loss of Miles' tenure (aside from 08 Ole Miss), and 2010 cost us a BCS bid to a team we never should've lost to.

As bad as 2009 OM was, it simply didn't matter even in the context of the season. People need to let that one go.
