This coming on a night where they weren't emotionally right due to the plane crash, which really puts football into perspective.
Is there any evidence of this? It's often stated but I find it hard to believe the football team was so distraught over the women's basketball coach dying that it cost them the game.
I think they just shite the bed.

We always lament about 1/9/12
I've said this two other times in the past. My seat mate for the game was Coach Bowden. We discussed how unfair the whole rematch was. We discussed when he would have tried something new. I know that most on here know better than that washed up old coach but he really thought our coach was pretty pathethic that night. He tried to be diplomatic.
Of course Bowden would know how unfair a rematch is, considering he got screwed in 1996, but that was due to Arizona State being contractually obligated to play in the Rose Bowl, as the Big Ten and (then) Pac-10 weren't part of the Bowl Alliance.

Yes sir, he referred to that as the basis of his point. But I still feel he had that experience and others to draw on. He was calling for a new QB in the 2nd quarter. He really thought Les was a poor coach that night.

He was. You think he would've had a better gameplan considering he was "honored" to rematch against them.
Miles should've campaigned against Bama the second the GoTC ended. But I bet ESPN would've spun it as us being scared of playing Bama again.

Our defense and special teams were out-fricking-standing. People seem to want to forget that
They were good, but looked better than they actually were by comparison to the offense. The defense only forced one punt in the first half, and I don't think it forced any turnovers in the game, if I recall correctly. Alabama didn't get into the end zone until late, but moved the ball well for most of the game, kicked five field goals and attempted two others. Special teams did block a field goal, but also gave up a fairly long punt return and didn't do much of note in returning seven kickoffs and a couple of punts.
If the offense had played as well as the defense and special teams, it might have been a competitive game, but no aspect of our team was GOAT material that night.

For me, I try to forget that 2011 ever happened. I know, it makes me a bitter fan, but still. That one game, ruined the whole season.

Are you talking about 11/18 or 1/9? Because 11/18 directly led to 1/9 and was much more improbable.

LSU got screwed by having to beat a conference opponent it had already beaten. LSU's win was essentially nullified - LSU's "reward" for beating Bama on its home field was to play an extra game vs UGA and then give Bama a do over.

Bama was not deserving of a rematch with LSU under the system that was in place. The Gumps were actually rewarded for losing that game.

Agree to disagree. I look at not crossing the 50 as a much bigger fail. ND lost by an extra TD but they also had a couple of long scoring drives.
They were down 35-0. Thats why they lost by 1 more td. Bama put in back ups.lsu vs bama was a 2 score game late in the 4th quarter.
And lsu crossed the 50. I dont know why people still believe we never crossed the 50.

It's amusing that you're spending so much energy arguing that the 1/9/12 debacle was slightly less shitty than ND's arse-kicking. Who the hell cares - both were horrific embarrassments.

Energy? That lets me know how active you are in life. Im responding to posts directed at me and it takes all of 60 seconds.
For the record the USC vs Oklahoma title game was more on an arse kicking than lsu vs bama.
Its like you dont realize you spent energy saying LSU's loss was worse so you could continue to say miles had the worst showing in a title game of any coach.

I couldn't care less if our 1/9/12 loss was less awful than any others. Being "less terrible" than some other god-awful loss means absolutely zero.
This entire argument is pathetic.

He was a poor coach most nights...and days as well.

why are you bringing this back up?

This reminds me of the 1978 season when Nebraska had to play Oklahoma again in the Orange bowl after beating them in the regular season. The only difference was coach Tom Osborne was visibly ticked off when he learned of the rematch, unlike Miles who said he welcomed the rematch.

Get off your high horse. This is a sports message board where literally everything we discuss means zero. It's the off-season and it's an appropriate topic considering we routinely hear about how embarrassing 1/9 was and how it's the worst NC game showing of all time etc. When it's clearly not.

but my point is -- who fricking cares whether 1/9/12 was the worst, second worst, or tenth worst?
It was a horrific performance, and that's all that matters. I'll leave it to you fine folks to argue about where it falls in the history of shitty championship game performances, but I don't care.
All I know is that it was awful. If you're soothed by believing there were others that were worse, more power to you.

What's the big deal of crossing the 50. LSU's offense got smoked the whole game. It's was awful.... there is nothing good to say about the offense that night... you seemed proud that they DID finally cross the 50. And no the game was not close into the 4th... the message was sent in the 1st half that LSU was not gonna be able to do crap against that Bama D....
