Would a loss in 2011 have been a better result?

Reading the "best plays in Miles era" thread got me thinking...
If Reid wouldn't have intercepted that ball and bama went on to win would it have turned out better for the program?
Personally I wouldn't absolutely despise bama so much because, in my mind, they would have earned it.
But as a program I don't know if it's better to lose in the national championship game after one of the greatest seasons ever or win the sugar bowl after a very good season.
Thoughts?

What's done is done, but I don't know that I could ever look back and regret winning a game. Other than maybe that Tennessee debacle. Just my opinion.

we'd still have played bama in the nc

so give up beating Bama at Bama, and an SEC Championship? a few of my favorite things as an LSU fan?

If JJ had not under thrown a wide open RS, he could have scored a TD. The game may have never gone to OT, and they probably don't have to play Bama again.

frick NO, when Ford had that run that clinched the game I say down in the stadium and almost had tears in my eyes. That was the greatest football experience I've ever had

In the minds of most idiots absolutely, though they'll never come right out and say that.
But they focus on that one loss more than any of the milestone wins of that amazing season.
They will never get over the fact that we lost a game after outplaying our limitations throughout the season.
The 2011 team was a victim of it's own success.
I, for one, still think it is the most remarkable season in my LSU watching history. Easily. Only one win decided by less than 13 points.
Ended on a down note, obviously. But still my favorite season. 13-0 SEC Champs beating Big East and Pac champs and #2 team in country away from home and blowout win in SECCG.
Never would have predicted that before the season.

A loss is never a better result. Never. I don't give a frick about any of your circumstances.

I do not think a loss is ever better IMHO.

its pretty simple, we won our play off game, osu won their playoff game, bama list theirs and was sitting at home. we wouldnt have gotten in with a loss to bama. in fact i still dont think we get in with a loss to uga. The humans would have voted bama and osu in.

Perhaps a loss to Oregon. Then we probably would have had a rematch with them in the title game.

Whipping Alabama's arse in New Orleans would have been the better result.
