As a young Saints fan I was still so hyped when we got Ricky. I didn't care at the time what we gave away.
I remember everyone feeling this way... wasn't until about the 10th game that season I vividly remember my uncle saying "Ditka a damn fool"

LSU would've gotten the ball at midfield down 6 with 5 minutes to play.
BAMA had your offense completely stopped in the 4th quarter. BAMA scored 2 field goals and a TD, then went for 2 on the conversion and made it in the 4th. BAMA held the ball for 11 minutes of the 4th quarter. LSU had two 3 and outs and on the second one, they went for it on 4th down and didn't make it. BAMA shut Jefferson and the LSU offense completely out and took full control on offense in the 4th quarter of the 2009 game. That is the cold, hard, facts.

What happened on this drive that the INT wasn't called? How many more plays/time/result

2011 BCS national championship

Bama’s “punishment” for losing game of the century in its home field was a free pass into the National Championship
LSU’s “reward” for going to Tuscaloosa and beating the Gumps on their home field - Now you get to go play another ranked team (UGA) and if you beat them, get a rematch with Bama.
Said another way, the ESPN-led jihad created a situation where LSU had to go 3-0 vs Bama & UGa, while their darling Bama only had to go 1-1 vs LSU.

BAMA shut Jefferson
False.
Jefferson was removed from the game due to a cheap shot not being called (sound familiar?). There is a photo of game fixer Ritter staring right at the play when it happened.
I still find it laughable that one of the worst QBs in LSU history would have beaten the great tide three times in a row if it weren't for blatant cheating.

The same thing that happened before G-Mac threw the ball. The BAMA offense moved the ball and the defense said NO.

Agreed.
4 Southern California refs with Bill Vinovich not even getting his fellow refs to huddle to get the correct call. This call was blatant and right out in the open.

Saints trading an entire draft and another first for Ricky Williams.
This is hardly the worst decision ever and in fact, was by no means botched. The fact that it’s brought up is merely a matter of regurgitating a “hot take” narrative that was created and hyped.
I haven’t been able to find it, but there was an article that came out a few years back showing that even if the Saints had otherwise drafted “perfectly” (of players picked within 10 spots of their original picks in each round) the aggregate value would have been roughly inline with Williams. Also, consider the fact that Williams later brought two first round picks back in trade.

FSU CFP this season
FSU is playing a lower ranked team in a non playoff bowl game and the odds have FSU as a 14 point underdog.
Give me a break.

In addition to Bama over FSU this season, the numerous times the wrong team made the CFB national title game: 1993: Florida State over West Virginia 2000: Florida State over Washington 2001: Nebraska over Oregon 2003: Oklahoma over USC 2011: Alabama over Oklahoma State (biggest offender by far)
You forgot:
2014: Ohio State, which lost to 6-6 Va Tech by two scores on its home field getting in over TCU and even Baylor
2017: Alabama, which lost its final game before the playoff by two scores to Auburn who won the SEC West getting in over that same Auburn team … and before you say haha Auburn …EXACTLY! No one was saying that Auburn should have made the playoffs that year, and there’s absolutely no argument that the Gumps had a better case to be in the playoffs over Auburn which beat them head to head and finished first in the division. 12-1 Wisconsin, a division champ who lost their conference championship game by a field goal, had a much better case than the Gumps, as did Central Florida.

Do you mean the same Jarrett Lee who had already thrown for 44 yards and an interception in the game? That Jarrett Lee? You're breaking my heart.

Typical Gump fan.
You can’t handle the truth, much less debate it, so you try to come back with some snarky comment.

And yeah, it’s the no-call in the Dome
Cost Drew another ring and set the franchise back years dealing with the fallout
As someone else mentioned, it was a helmet to helmet in addition to a PI
just fricking outrageous and inexplicable

The literal defender in the play said, in post-game interview, that he was beat and was just intentionally fouling.

Ok. I mean come on. FSU should have made it. But they can very well beat UGA even with a backup qb….

That no call in the NFCCG still pisses me off when i think about it. It is the definition of corruption.
I'm still a fan, but a big part of me lost faith completely in sports as an entity of integrity.
