I seriously doubt this decided the outcome of that game...terrible call though

Again unlikely it changed the outcome...still one of the worst calls ever

What if Zach Lee didn’t play baseball. What if Les let Russell Shepard throw the ball. What if we didn’t get screwed against Auburn in 2006.

Honestly, I doubt the first two matter much. I’m just goofin. But the third is significant for sure.

Does LSU have another NC if Ryan Perriloux doesn’t get kicked off the team?

Number one what if in my opinion is what if the Yeldon screen never happened. LSU probably wins the national championship in 2012.

What if a cold front didn’t blow through Omaha in 1998 with LSU sitting at 2-0?

LSU would have won 3 national titles in a row.

If the refs don't screw LSU at Auburn in 2006 LSU wins the national championship.


This one is dead on and Less should have thrown the ball more early in that game.

If Josh Booty comes to LSU and plays football and baseball, we win 4 consecutive CWS and he wins the Heisman on the way to a National Championship in 96 probably. Dinardo still gets fired after Booty goes pro and Dinardo shits the bed in 98/99

I think Saban was always going to eventually be a NFL head coach.

The bigger what if in that situation is what if he signs Drew Brees or Alabama hires Rich Rod.

People seem to think Saban failed miserably in the NFL but he actually didn’t. He took a 4-12 team and went 9-7 in his first year then took a step back. Given more time he probably works out and if Bama hires Rich Rod he isn’t leaving Miami.

Theisman said was the best pass he threw all afternoon!
BC went to his grave swore ball was over-LSU is back to back NC and joins the bluebloods!
OK what if we stop Arch on that 3rd down sweep he scored in 69 that won it for them! I was 12 but vividly recall that play Would be undfeated and play UT for the title!

Here’s the negative one:

1. Byrd tips the pass. Incomplete. Clocks runs out. 2007 Auburn.
2. Derek Helton Bounce pass fake FG
3. Burrow stays at OSU
4. Joe Brady gets promotion for Saints
5. Clock runs out in 1972 Ole Miss
