Exactly.

Pretty much the only people that bring this up are ones that only started following LSU in the 2000's and that are huge football snobs.

Losing to Miami of Ohio a week after upsetting a top 10 ranked A&M teams is much worse than UAB.

UAB wouldn't make my top 10 of bad LSU loses.

This makes you sound like a football snob yourself. At no point in LSU's football history should context be required to explain a loss to UAB. It should absolutely never happen. When it does, it should be mentioned as one of the most inexcusable losses in LSU FB history. The fact that 90% of people in this thread list it as the worst loss should prove that point as well. Face it chief.

Good choice!!!!



BTW In this day and age NO TEAM LIKE TROY should EVER come into Tiger satdium and be up 31-3 at anytime. even though we won. Thats was inexcusable. PLUS in 2008 UGA and FLA both came to TS and put up 50 points on LSU this should NEVER happen.

YOU right. MY bad. STILL no reason for it.

14 of UGA's points came off intception returns

Sounds like an excuse. STILL.

Right, I'm a snob because I realize a non AQ D1 team can beat an historically top tier BCS team. It happens all the time. You and others are hung up on thr name. LSU should never lose to UAB or presumably any mid major. This is nonsense. These teams are D-1 programs, thinking that way is nothing but snobbery and just looking to confirm a belief that the only way it can happen is "bad coaching". Its much easier to blame one thing or person than to accept that there are other reasons.

Everything is meaningless without context. For example, if something costs $1000 is it expensive or cheap? You can't say unless you know what it is, ie putting it in context.

You are talking in theory/generalities. I am talking about specific games and the circumstances or context of those games is what is important. LSU has advantages, such as access to better talent, better facilities, resourses to pay for better coaches etc that most schools, especially non AQ teams do not. So in general, over the long haul we should (and do) do much better and have better teams, better players than these teams. That will not be true in every, single instance. It is not feasible to expect LSU or any team to win every game. You and most others don't seem to get or except that terms like better or best are not absolutes. We are better program than UAB, but that does not mean they have absolutly zero chance of betting LSU. A HS team, even the state champs could never beat even a 2-9 LSU team, for the same reason a college team would not beat an NFL team. But another, even lower level team like UAB will have some chance to beat LSU and that will vary depending on the circumstances of when they play. You have to factor that in. If you don't its meaningless.

No offense to the OP but i really wish this thread would die.....it's depressing.

Any loss in the past 12 season was inexcusable and needless, just sayin

2006 Auburn. JR was killing them, yet we decided to run the ball 25x for 1 ypc. He threw for 200+ yards and had about 100 taken away by penalties.

1st down- run for 1 yard gain
2nd down- run for -2 yards
3rd and 11- false start
3rd and 16- 10 yard completion

The best LSU team lost the National Championship because our coaches were idiots

The melt down at Ohio St. In 1988 we were winning by like 17 points in the 4th quarter only to lose 36-33.
