Saban's Ugly Divorce from LSU


Was this an ugly divorce? It was more like:

"Not leaving."
"Leaving."
"Bye."

best for me...

03 BCS Champ Game (doubt it will ever be topped)
07 BCS Champ Game
09 Baseball National Championship
B-Ball Final Four Run
Skip's 5th (oops)
03 SECCG
01 SECCG
Brady Fired

and I'll throw in the Auburn win in 07 over the Bluegrass Miracle

I don't really have "worst" moments, more like short-lived disappointing ones...they include

'02 Arky Loss
'09 Ole Piss Loss
Cap One Loss to Iowa
'04 Auburn Loss
Final Four loss
Ryan Perrilloux
and, more than likely, Crowton not being fired this year

Nope.

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


It was the first time in over 20 years that the men's team had made it.

Also, show some love to our lady tigers - 5 straight final four appearances is no small feat.

The only Rent-A-Loss in recent history


I guess you missed the loss to Houston the year before the UAB game.

Glass half full: resulted in regime change. I was at that game too.

Truth. I didn't really start following LSU football until I moved to BR in 2000. Before that, all i knew was Independence BOWL!!!

Top Two Worst LSU sports Moments of the Decade


Brady is given a raise and an extension after the Final 4 appearance

Miles' contract is rewritten and negotiated by an ex-Nasa rocket scientist. In technical terms, his contract is a "doom loop".

You guys need professional assistance. That was the beginning of the turnaround. Fans came to play next week versus UT because of that loss.

The UAB loss was the best loss in LSU history.

Booty was benched because of the UAB loss. If LSU beats UAB by 17-20 points, Booty probably starts the Tennessee game and we probably don't win.

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.


Who the HELL would you have put in the 07 game in place of LSU? All the folks lined up in front of us choked as well as we did. We won the SEC Championship game.

Blown Coverage in Capital One Bowl causes LSU to lose to Iowa in Saban's last game



Why is everyone so hung up on this game? It was just a meaningless bowl game. We followed it up with the greatest three year run in school history.

Hell, I'm more broken up about losses like Auburn in 06 and Arkansas in 07. Why give a damn about the freaking Cap One loss to Iowa?

Okay Nostradamus.

How did Booty do the rest of the year when Rohan was injured? All-SEC QB? Who would have thought that?

UAB needed to happen. And while you guys look at it as a thorn in the side, I look at it as the beginning of the beginning. And yes, I was there. Were you?

What the frick are you talking about? Did you not read what I said.

Booty was awful in the UAB game. He was the worst All-SEC player of all time. If Booty plays decently in the UAB game he starts the Tennessee game, not Davey, and LSU likely loses. Along with Arkansas 1999, the 2000 Tennessee game was Davey's coming out party. It doesn't happen if LSU doesn't lose to UAB. I was agreeing with you. Jesus Christ.

I definitely would add this as the most tragic LSU moment of the decade. What a shame.
