Seven years ago yesterday: the worst non-LSU game in LSU history

I'd argue it's the worst game in our history PERIOD.

It's really hard to imagine just how different things would have been.

1) We'd have throttled OSU in the NCG. Yup...we'd have bludgeoned them with our boring, predictable offense...but it would have happened.

2) A second NC instead of an embarrassing loss gets reflected in a few extra recruits and national prestige over the next year or so which might very well translate into a few extra wins or a play here or there.

Of course, the Miles legacy here would have ended differently with 2 Titles.

Eventually, Saban would have caught us and surpassed us...he's that good and his set up in BAMA has just got too many inherent advantages but it would have taken longer and we'd have likely been in a better position when it finally happened...and would likely have better replaced him when he left.

I'd say this has to be my worst memory -

Yes I know it meant that we had to play the gumps again!!

I remember rooting for Iowa State without realizing the implications. I blame myself.

It sucked to see this happen.

But if Tyrann Mathieu did not get himself kicked off the team in 2012, I think that year would have gone very differently for us.

We still had a very good team after losing in the bcs. And Mathieu was just that good, he would have cemented himself in College football lore with a followup year to 2011.

EVERYONE forgets that the Okie State BB HC died the night before this game.

Okie State should have gotten a mulligan, IMO. They were shafted in favor of Alabama...

That would have been the GOAT season.
