Oh, so Bama has never been dominated??
It may have happened at some point in history, but not when they had a good coach and not on such a massive stage with so much to play for and in their own backyard. I can't recall a game that Bama was supposedly one of the top two team in the country and got shutout in the biggest game of the year with a national title on the line. I can't recall a Bama team being held to less than 100 yards of offense and only crossing the fifty once - much less being housed like that in their own state. I can't recall any team dominating Bama like that during Bama's recent run back among the top teams in the country.
That happened to les in his 7th season at LSU. He wasnt some new head coach who took over a struggling program. You guys talk about having to play Bama a second time (never mind that Florida played FSU twice in their 1996 championship season without either team complaining. Bama beat Florida in Gainesville in 1999 but had to play them again in Atlanta for sec championship. Bama won that "mulligan" game and beat Florida twice in same season - proving it could be done in sec.
Lsu had an established coach in his 7th season, one of the best teams in program history, a month to prepare, and the game in their own home state. You had many, many advantages in that game and fans told us for weeks that Bama didn't stand a chance. No one complained until you were utterly dominated and you haven't stopped complaining since. But no. Bama has not been dominated like that.
