I've been inspired by SI's coverage of the best and worst of all sports this decade...so what would make the cut in Tigertown.

Off the top of my head I'd say

Best
Skip's 5th National Title
LSU wins 2nd national title in football
The Bluegrass Miracle
LSU Women's Basketball Five Consecutive Final Fours 04-08
Men's Basketball Final Four Run
LSU is the first Title to win 2 BCS titles and claims its third National Championship
Manieri Brings the Title back to the Box

Worst
The Smoke Laval Era
Saban's Ugly Divorce from LSU
Blown Coverage in Capital One Bowl causes LSU to lose to Iowa in Saban's last game
The Pokey Chatman Scandal
Jaime Lloreda Abandons LSU basketball mid-season
Bama Hires Saban
Jarrett Lee sets record for Pick Sixes
Ole Miss Football Game Debacle 2009


Your thoughts? What additions would the OT make?

Can't disagree with those picks. Nice list.

Hopefully, we won't have to add Miles hiring as one of the worst soon...

The '03 NC would be #1, with the 2001 SEC championship #2. The '07 National Title was bullshite with 2 losses. The '06 team was way better and didn't even get a shot.

LSU blows 21 point lead, loses to Tennessee in 2005. (This would be an example of a "worst" moment.

Yeah that was the second one listed under "Best" sorry I should've listed the year by it. And I agreed that it should be #1 moment. My list wasn't in order of importance, just chronological.

No, I just added "in 5 years" in my brain.

Agreed. That was a major blemish on LSU's football legacy. The only Rent-A-Loss in recent history

This thread is ludicrous.

Best --
'03/04 BCSNC game -- first in 50 years
'09 baseball NC
'07/08 BCSNC game
2000 baseball NC

There are no others.

Worst --
Ole Piss this year
UAB in 2000
UT in '05
Barn in '06
Cap One
Barn in '04

Worst: a great coached team of 2004 (lol) when Xavier Carter returned a kick out of the endzone at Georgia on Oct 2, 2004, and then downed it at the 1 yard line. Great coaching job for such a great coach that never lets things like this happen....
GA dominated 45 -16

Ha, that shite was pretty bad. I bet if that happened now, Miles would get bashed for bad coaching.

You don't think the final four run was one. That is ludicrous.

you could add in the three Arky games into the worst, too. Especially the Matt Jones year.

Add to the best, this decade by proxy, the day Matty Ott was born!!
