LSU was 2-0 in football title games and 6-0 in the CWS final.

LSU fans have never experienced a loss at the highest level (besides basketball at the final four but everyone should be used to that).

We expect to win those kind of games and that's a great thing. At least it seems like most have healed and 2012 should be great.

It would have been just as bad if Ok State housed us.. although that wouldn't have happened.

It might have had a little influence, but the fact that it was bama (who we already fricking beat) and we were outgained 384 to 92 is what truly made the loss so damn painful IMO

That may be true, but losing to Bama stings way worse

It was also the first time we'd lost any game in over a year and the first time losing in the dome in a long time.

The way we lost and who we lost to is the only 2 reasons we cried so much.

03 and 07 were great and I'll cherish them forever but they had those losses during the season. 03 was a split, and 07 was the two loss thing.

This was the REAL DEAL and it slipped away. Say what you will, not all NCs are equal, and undefeated NCs are the cream of the crop. Losing out on that hurt the most IMO.

This is very true. There was a motto here that LSU never loses championship games! O well

There's some truth to the notion that the fanbase is spoiled, but the fact that the game was never close and there wasn't anything to at all to feel good about is more likely the issue. I felt the game would hinge on a few key plays, but LSU was outplayed and outcoached in every phase of the game. I left the Dome and wasn't angry or upset, just depressed because the team/staff didn't show up.

1) As you said, we hadn't lost before
2) It was painful since our O never showed up
3) It was Bama (and we may never play them again in a game of this import, meaning we can never get revenge)

If lsu would have lost with points up on the board I wouldn't have been as depressed.

Because Jarrett Lee never got an oppportunity to finish what he started. Say what you will but everyone I know was EXPECTING Lee to play and play well - expecially if Jefferson was as ineffectie as he was in the SEC championship game. WTF?
