You know what REALLY pisses me off about 2011?

Lost in all the "mulligan" and "21-0" bickering is the fact that we were able to witness the greatest clash of defenses in this generation - TWICE.
Anybody who truly appreciates the game should respect that. We can talk about missed field goals in game 1 or JJ in game 2, but we may never again see a game where BOTH defenses were at such a level.
I'm sure it's easier for me to see it this way because the end result favored my team...but that 2011 LSU defense deserves better than mockery and constant talk of mulligans. When your team can't cross the 50 and you STILL haven't let the team in your end zone until the game was almost over, your defensive accomplishment is overshadowed. It shouldn't be. It was an honor to see defense played like that - so incredible that today the SEC is still known for our defense in a year that none of us could stop anyone.

The two best teams of the SEC national championship streak, imo. It's unfortunate both had to play in the same year

Agreed. People outside of the SEC were bitching about the 9-6 game, but in all honesty, that was a beautifully played game by both defenses.
I still smile every time I think about that Eric Reid INT down near the goal line. Incredible effort to steal that one away from the WR.

Amen, I tell people all the time that our D played their asses off that game and I get strange looks a lot more than you would think.

The National Champs didn't deserve to be in the national championship?

This is true. Two defenses that combined for probably 25 NFL players.

Ask UGA, AUB, WVU, UF, Ark, and Oregon how shitty that offense was.
