to Bama. Both teams were pretty close this year.
LSU won one and Bama won the one that counted.

It's stupid on your part to say different.

They both won the one that counted. If Bama had won the first game, LSU would not be SEC Champions. But to your bottom line, don't worry - LSU didn't play perfect. But if LSU had played perfect and still lost, it would have hurt, but it would not have been a horror show.

Losing is not the bad thing. Not being prepared and not making changes is.

Neaux.

If LSU plays "perfect" they beat Bama by two scores.

I'm not saying Bama was a good team. They obviously were. But LSU hardly played their worst REGULAR SEASON game in their backyard and won by 3.

Do you know what lose means? It means you have fewer points than the other team. There is NO WAY you could play perfect but not accomplish that.

If we would've played perfect and lost, I could deal with that. I wouldn't like it but I could deal with it.

We hardly played perfect and we certainly didn't look like a team that was 13-0. That's what bothers me.

They could have. They could have won also. Who knows?

I totally agree with the OP. Like Skip Holtz said, LSU was the hunted and Bama was the hunter. Had LSU lost in Nov to Bama the roles would have been reversed. If you can't see this then you must be very, very young.

Bama won the last one, that's all.

The only way we win Monday night would be if you switched QB's, that is, give Saban JJ and us McCarron. Not even the Saban the Great could have beat us with JJ at QB!

it's one thing to play perfect and lose...with both teams being so close, it'd be a toss up at that point.

but it's another thing to be so damn lifeless and ill-prepared. combine that with gutless playcalling, and you get what you got.

So if JJ would have played PERFECTLY, then Bama still would have won? I don't think so.

Normally I would agree, but JJ stunk up that stadium so freaking badly he dragged the whole team down. If JJ was playing better, you have to think the play calling would have improved. The play calling got worse as JJ kept playing worse...it was a snowball effect.

No kidding. But you might be the dumbass, because I think you're trying to say something to the OP. I'm not disagreeing with your post, just who you directed it at. But you're a relative newbie at less than 900 posts, so I'll cut you some slack. haha.

Yep, and that would have been a lot easier to stomach and Miles wouldn't be taking crazy heat from people who don't normally give him heat.

OP is just stupid. Of course they could have lost with perfect play. A loss like that is tolerable to a team like bama.
