re: The saddest thing I've ever read...

I definitely would love to see another team go through a season like LSU did in 2011. Getting fricked like that by the BCS and losing the NC to a team we already beat would leave any fanbase into a melt years after

Florida State vs Florida, sugar bowl, 1997 says hello.. FSU had defeated Florida, lost convincingly in the rematch for the NC.

My LSU friends who can't accept this, I recommend some serious counseling. The delusion is wide spread, and it isn't "Alabama talking about LSU," it is everyone in the entire SEC laughing about LSU fans continuing to bemoan, excuse, rationalize, 1-9-12 years and years later.

I follow LSU, like the team. But this is getting to be embarrassing... (no, it's been embarrassing for a long while now). So here is something to help come to terms with reality. Accept it - LSU was the second best team in CFB 2011 season, see picture of LSU "championship" ring to prove it.



The other 49 States and many foreign countries remember that game as the "50 yard line" game, the "it's a mauling folks, a mauling" game.. the "look at the Tide, rolling behind this defense" game.

Here are some more facts to help get in touch with reality.

LSU was 5-3 and finished fourth in the SEC west in 2015, and is barely in the top 25 in the country...

In 2014, LSU was 4-4 and finished 5th in the SECw. They were 5-3 and finished 3rd in SECw in 2013. These records and finishes are not first or second in the SECw, not barely missed the BCS playoffs. Accept it for your own sanity.

LF finished sixth... that comes after fifth... in the Heisman voting. The rest of the country does not see him as "the best" regardless of how folks in Louisiana (including me) view him.

Let it go for god's sake. I didn't start this line to humiliate the Tigers. Just to point out the level of psychological distress. Is it time to recognize this 1-9-12 as a new personality disorder syndrome?
