re: Hard to believe its been 12 years since the worst day in LSU football history

I just remembered what day this was. I was filled with dread. The idea of beating an equally good football team twice in the same season didn’t have me feeling good. Still, I thought that we would win or lose a close game. I was unprepared for and I’m still shocked about what happened during the game. What was Miles thinking? No adjustments. 21-0. He ruined what could have been one of the greatest seasons in college football history.

Alabama should not have been in that game. We should not have been put in the position of having to play them twice.

We've all heard rumors of various things about this game because it was so baffling and unbelievable to watch. I wish someone would write a well sourced book about this game, to expose what happened behind the scenes from the SEC Championship Game through the locker room after this game. Practices, game plans, pregame discussions, halftime, postgame, etc.

Would love to revisit some of those here, just for the sake of discussion.

Ironically, I think that without this game, we don't get 2019's complete mastery with Joe Burrow and co., or 2023's Heisman season with Jayden Daniels.

I remember listening to a drunk Cajun go off on Les after the game.

Maybe you should get a therapist.

Miami of Ohio was worse
UAB was worse
Troy was worse.
Jamie Howard's pic 6 fest was worse

I'm still more mad that they were trying to make us beat an Alabama team for the 3rd time in a row even though Oklahoma State had a better SOS than Bama.

2010 Bama 2 weeks to prepare. Lose
2011 Bama 2 weeks to prepare. Lose
2012 Bama, ah maybe with a month to prepare they can get it right.

That was a bad game but not the worst.

As bad as that was, it was still a National championship game against a worthy opponent

I think losing to Troy was worse.

It was fricking dreadful. I was so embarrassed.

More importantly, we could have won that game.

And no frick LOSING TO TROY!!!!!! Higher stakes mean HIGHER SORROW. Come the frick man. I don’t even remember what exact year we lost to Troy but I remember that Bama game like it was yesterday

I hope Les Miles gets the shits every 1/9. Sorry arse Coach. I hated seeing that smug grass eating moron. Mad hatter. Piece of shite.

I was at the game. Big mistake. Took 2019 for me to move on.

That game cemented my opinion on Miles. I spent the next 5 seasons railing against him and calling for his job, even the Mett/OBJ/JL years where things were looking better. But I knew after 1/9/2012 that this shite offense was not ever taking us back to a natty and that Bama would eclipse us. And that's exactly what happened. God, I took so much shite in 2013 still saying I wanted him fired.

After the 2008 pick 6 palooza season, Miles went into his shell and never came out. I danced the day after the 2016 Auburn game when it was over.

And before you give me the "winningest coach in school history" line, THAT MAN WASTED SO MUCH TALENT BASED ONLY ON HIS OWN STUBBORN OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY.

God dammit I'm still mad.
