I think what he said was pretty much proven on 1/9.. Alabama didn't play as well as they could have the first game, and they knew it. LSU did their best in each game, Bama just stepped it up..
Wow. This is sick delusion (and I am serious here). I had a multitude of Alabama fans come up to me after the game and ask "what happened?" To a person, they said that was not the LSU team they had seen all year. We all know that there was something wrong during that game - even Bama fans know it. Several even said to me that they were happy that Bama won, but it felt kind of empty.
LSU played their worst game of the season on 1/9 and that had little to do with Alabama. If Saban can pull the "we beat ourselves" card for 11/5, then LSU can really say that about 1/9. The Bama fans who think that they got LSU's best game on 1/9 are ridiculous.
One other thing: Half the SEC including the entire top 15 would have beaten LSU that night. Alabama really didn't do anything special. LSU did not show up. That is why we were all so angry.
Of course, that isn't Alabama's fault. They took advantage of what was handed to them. More power to you.

Alabama just didn't play up to its potential the first game. Poor little LSU did their best to just hang in there both games.

At least Alabama played its worst game on 11/5 and was still competitive and in position to win on multiple occasions. LSU was never a threat to Alabama on 1/9. Plus I think that just shows you what kind of a team you have when it plays its worst game in the game that matters.

Just lurked this whole thread. Quick summary...Nick Satan is a douchey midget, LSU should have known they'd lose on 1/9 because of the fashion in which they won on 11/5. LSU fans are delusional. Bama only beats themselves. Saban focuses solely on what they do wrong, not what other teams do well. Strengths of the other teams are completely irrelevant because if Bama plays like Bama, they beat everyone. Including the NY Giants.

I want to play this game too:
The loss on January 9th was really more about what LSU didn't do rather than what Alabama did do. I mean just look back on several key things in that game.
Jordan Jefferson fumbled a few snaps which botched potentially game changing plays.
There were a few false start penalties that took 3rd and short and made them 3rd and long.
Jordan Jefferson missed Rueben Randle and OBJ streaking down the middle of the field multiple times.
Jordan Jefferson threw a costly interception trying to get the ball to Spencer Ware.
Alex Hurst didn't play well and regularly allowed his man to get past him.
Yes, let's play this game. This is what Miles was talking about when he said that the game plan was good, but they just didn't execute (I think that the whole problem was JJ, as this post clearly illustrates).
If we had a High School QB, he makes those throws to Randle and OBJ. Wasn't there one to Landry in the 4th quarter that would have been a TD for sure if it had not been thrown 2 yards in front of him?
If LSU scores on those plays and we get 14 points, suddenly it is a 15-14 game in the 4th and Bama has the ball. Or, if JJ doesn't throw that stupid interception, that takes away a scoring opportunity as well. Maybe LSU has the lead?
Could it be that LSU was only 3 plays from leading 14-12 late in the 4th quarter with the ball in Bama's hands? That changes the discussion, doesn't it?
Of course, that kind of commentary is just stupid. It is a massive game of "what if?" that is strictly for losers. LSU DIDN'T make those plays and we all understand. But, Saban is playing the losers game here, which tells me that he is probably more upset about losing on 11/5 than he is happy about winning on 1/9. If I know Saban at all, that is likely the case.
LSU is still in his head.

I'm just playin LSU guys! Don't get too huffy..
But let's talk about the first game.. Did LSU do their best in that one? The 3 point OT victory? When Bama brought their A game they won by 21.. All poor ol Saban was saying was he felt that he knew his team's best was better than the other team's best..

You mean the "Game of the Century" at home? 11/5 mattered plenty and, by your own admission, Bama played their worst game. So, what are you saying about your own team.
Geez, man, you contradicted yourself in just 3 sentences. That must be some kind of record.
As for 1/9, see my post above. If LSU makes 3 plays, the whole complexion of the game changes. Momentum swings. LSU gets fired up and when they caught fire last year, they would score 28 points in a quarter. Not saying they would have done that against Bama, but things would have been different.
For what its worth, I still think that Bama would have won that game. But, if a few things go differently, it is not the blow out that everyone makes it out to be.
LSU beat themselves.

LSU went inside Alabama's redzone 3 times to Alabama's 0, dropped a touchdown pass on the goal line, and in overtime nearly ran in a touchdown....see I can do that too.

Yeah, LSU is still in Saban's head and it's obvious he is still bitter that he isn't at LSU. Even National Championships can't get him through it. I took some Psych courses so I know these things to be true.

is there an lsu/bama thread every day on here?

Jarrett Lee was the starter. Isn't it likely that the game plan was largely based around him. He ended up being ineffective in his small amount of playing time.
The then back up QB played the majority of the game. So no, with the backup QB taking over and LSU deviating from what the likely planned on doing, I'd say they didn't play their best.

1. Bama loses, they didn't play their best.
2. LSU loses, LSU played their best.
This is all I'm gathering here.

LSU is still in Saban's head and the honey badger is already in AJ's head

Actually I watched 11/5, the Arkansas game, and the SECCG. Everybody knew that offense was garbage with JJ running it.

That game and the 92 NC will go down as two of my favorite games ever. Nothing better than punking Miami & LSU in NCGs. Posted on 6/14/12 at 4:15 pm to crimsonsaint

No. You mean the game where Randle dropped a TD pass in the end zone right before the half and where Ford stepped out of bounds in OT? If either of those things go an inch differently, then we are not talking about a 3 point win in OT. We might not even be talking about OT at all. Also, if JJ had led Shepard instead of throwing a dying duck that Shep had to come back for, that would have been a TD.
LSU left a lot on the field that game. The defense played great, but the offense could have done much better.
No, that was not LSU's "best game." They shot themselves in the foot the entire game.

You're giving Les way too much credit here.

Nobody could answer this question? I'd like to hear the answer.
