There goes Davis!
This question can only really be answered on the basis of a single scenario because every season is different.
So, for this past year I will take winning the IB in the most epic fashion possibly in the entire history of collegefootball a million times over losing and not even getting to the nc game.
Not to mention the great memories of winning ththe game, celebrating for a week after, heading to vegas for the weekend of the seccg, celebrating my dick off aft the mizzou win, celebrating the osu loss, am the fun in the nc build-up, heading back to vegas for a week and having fun for the bcsncg.
Really, are you fricking kidding with such a stupid arse question? The journey is most of the fun. So you would rather sit home and not even go on the journey at all?
Ok man.

I'm with you. Most fun I've had watching Auburn football ever I think. The LSU loss hurt but they flat out beat us. Then comes the A&M game that was fun to watch, UGA that was both brutal and amazing to watch and then the Iron bowl with one of the greatest finishes ever. Turn around a week later hearing shite about how we couldn't run on Mizzou and hung over 500 yards on the ground against them.
While the National Championship loss was tough, we lost to a better/more complete team and I got to watch our guys fight hard for everything they got all year.

Yup. Hell of a season and in my top 3 of all time. If we had lost the IB it would have just been an enjoyable season, but the IB and winning the sec made it special and one of the most fun ever.

Lose in the National Championship?
It happened, I got over it. 2011 was still a great season.

If LSU ever lost to OM, or A&M (even though neither one is the level of the bama-auburn rivarly) the way bama lost to auburn that would take the cake.

Dumb question. I would rather compete for a championship and lose, than bomb in a regular season game.

And from such an otherwise intelligent fanbase.

or snapping the streak?
The streak was, or should have been, only important to teams that weren't capable of winning anything on their own merits so they needed to coattail the teams that could win titles.
Losing the national championship game sucked, but had we lost in 2010 and 2013 it would have been worse. Because we were obviously superior to everyone in 2010 this team was just a scrappy team that happend to get a good break with OSU and we lucked into the game. I wanted to win it, no doubt, but it was hard to legitimately believe we were better than FSU and thus the best team in the nation.

Random question---is there any way to go back and see an Iron Bowl in-game thread? Are they deleted? Want to see old posts/reactions as the action went down....

Would you rather get KO'd by a right hook or an uppercut to the chin?

He said rival.....mulligan bowl shouldn't be brought up bc we didn't face auburn or Tennessee
Obligatory 21-0

Not our rivals. Plus if you lay that kind of an egg in the NC, you don't deserve to win no matter who else you may have gotten play if we didn't make it.

When you go 3-9 the previous year? Losing the BCSNCG doesn't hurt much because you're just tickled to death to be there.
Posted on 2/12/14 at 10:49 am to LukeSidewalker
So you would have rather beat LSU in OT and lost the bcs title game? Yeah ok.

Im sorry we play you every fricking year and really the last several years its either Bama, LSU, or Auburn who is going to win the west. If that isnt rivalry then i dont know what is. Before saban, it was Auburn was the team we had to beat to win the west, bama really was never in the running except in 05. Auburn and LSU went several years with the home team winning. You got the earth quake gaem, cigar game and the ref gate game, that was becoming a very heated rivalry.

No way do I pick losing to Auburn over losing a national championship game. National championships matter more. When Alabama points to the historic success of the program, we talk about national championships, not success against one team.

I consider a team you play every year a rival. Especially when the series goes back and forth. Now miss state has only beaten us 3 times in my life time so i dont consider them a rival, just another win.

interesting. That's certanily not the way auburn and bama fans look at it. We didn't play for a long time...but it was still a rivalry.

so you'd rather lose the national title game?
so what does this self promotion have to do with anything?
