And people outside of the SEC say that lsu sucks and wasn't that good that year because of the blowout. Smh.

We know better. The fans can talk, but I guarantee you there's a respect that both of those teams have for each other.

I wish we would have played okie st that year. We probably would have won instead of having the blowout and having a weak recruiting class


If you guys had played OSU, it would have turned into an American History X style prison rape...

Eric Reid ripping the ball from that TE in the endzone and me running up and down the aisles telling the Bama crowd to get loud bc they were now on defense was a top 10 moment of my life

I am grateful to have seen those two defenses play ...twice. One day, years from now, a lot of people complaining about Okie State will look back and realize that it was only fitting for two of the greatest defenses in the modern era to face off again. And for 7 quarters, neither team could score a touchdown. In fact, the way LSU's offense was giving us the ball in the title game, you can make a case that their defense was the one doing the more amazing job...yet Bama's defense wouldn't let them cross the 50 yard line. Just an amazing collection of talent. It's much easier for Bama fans to see it and appreciate it because of the way things worked out, but anyone selling that LSU 2011 defense short is committing a sin against college football.

I haven't really heard that. I just heard people say we sucked in the championship game (can't argue with that...though the D still played really tough).

LSU beat the #4 and #5 teams in the final rankings by a combined 37 points. They beat five teams in the final top 20 leading up to the championship game by 19 points per game (and that's with the 3-point Bama win averaged in there). It was a brutal schedule because LSU went undefeated and had to win an extra game in the SECCG against UGA in the Georgia Dome...which they did by 32 points.

Not to any fans of the two teams and most old-school fans so that's all that matters.
