I know I should be over this...

Most people will shite on this thread but I am with ya. It bugs me anytime I think about LSU and national champ talk and greatest lsu team ever talk.

Welp most of those guys are getting paid now and we had one helluva fun season watching them play. That's all that really matters. I'm lucky to have been alive to watch a season like that, no matter the outcome. It would've been great to see them with the ship but I guess it just couldn't be that way. Most people agreed that LSU got screwed out of that game and that championship game woke people up about the BCS and why there should be a 4 team playoff.

LSU got hosed that year plain and simple.

The BCS was never about the two best teams as people will argue. The BCS website said as much as it regarded the bowls as a reward for the regular season played.

LSU already navigated a ridiculous schedule prior to that match up and their reward was an extra game and a rematch.

i dont think the junk they are handing out now under the name of playoff will be much better. But we all keep tuning in and spending money so it likely wont change.

I try not to think about that game.

Every great program has one or two "never get over" games. Hell Bama has two Iron Bowls over the past few seasons that qualify.

The take away is only great programs have those type of games. You don't hear Washington State saying "I'll never get over that loss."

I feel you, bro...

Jordan Jefferson was over the loss the next day, and I consider that a rare instance where he set a very good example for the rest of us. I followed it. It was very easy.

I get pissed off when I think about that Iowa State Oklahoma State game. No way in hell OSU should have choked that game away. LSU romps against them in the title game. And at the time, LSU still had at least two tough games, so I was kind of happy when Iowa State won. It's my fault.

Should've been ... greatest team LSU ever fielded

it was. The results of that one game did not change going undefeated against the toughest schedules LSU has ever played.


The thing that really bothers me about that season is how quickly that team was written off by both our fans, the media and the rest of the country. I'd put that 2011 team up against any team going back to the 2001 Miami team, and that's with mediocre (at best) QB play. If we would have had a good QB, I can't even imagine...
