Alabama-LSU 2011 regular season game


quote:

A close loss determined by turnovers and freak plays isn't judged the way normal losses are.


Care to discuss which turnovers and freak plays lead to Alabama losing this game?

Turnovers are often forced and are part of the game. LSU lead the nation with a turnover margin of +1.8, while Alabama was ranked 25th with a margin of +0.5.

They won the game, on the road, fair and square.

Still butthurt huh? In your heart you know Alabama was the better team. If they played 100 times Alabama would have probably won 99. But LSU did nmanage to win an ugly OT game in Tuscaloosa. That LSU win in Tuscaloosa defined LSU not Alabama. It proved LSU got close but was NEVER good enough to go all the way with a REAL team and win the Title. Fair and square is another misused phrase. Tennessee won the Georgia game "fair and square" but do you think the pollsters give Tennessee credit for a trashy Hail Mary lucky ducky win? Of course not. There is luck in football and sometimes teams get lucky and win games they should have lost. We all know the best when we see it. And we know a lucky win when we see it. Justice will come for Georgia and Tennessee. It already came for LSU. 21 - 0.

The simple fact that Alabama missed 4 field goals was reason enough to state that Bama GAVE AWAY that game. Then the fluke/freak Reid/Williams catch/int was another questionable incident.

In the BCS Title game, Bama made those same FG's and we all saw the result. 21-0. Bama was the better team all along and everyone but L5U fans knew it.
