Louisiana State bumbled its way to the national title in 2007

Everyone else had the same goal. Everyone else played the same system. Two teams succeeded in reaching the game. One team won. The end.

He's from New York and is trying to be "literary" in his writeup.

Thamel is one of my favorite cfb writers but I agree that this was a weirdly negative article. Of course the strangest thing about the article is the NYT's insistence on referring to us as "Louisiana State."

I read it this morning on the commuter train into New York City and called to cancel my subscription to the Times. I told them, "You're entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts. Which other 2-loss team (there was only one 1-loss team)was more deserving of playing for the title in '07? Ask Ohio State if they felt more 'bumbled' or 'rumbled'."

Thamel is a poor excuse for a sports reporter writing for a poor excuse for a sports section.

It doesn't say "bumbled" on our National Championship trophy.

Who else was more deserving to be there besides LSU? He's just mad his team had more than 2 losses.
