Anytime the No.1 and No.2 football teams in the country go head to head for the National Championship, you can expect an exciting, and thrilling game. No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama both wanted the title of National Champions, and were willing to work harder than they ever have to earn it. Weeks before the January 9th game that would take place in the New Orleans Superdome, people from all across the country were speculating who the winner would be. It was hard to decide considering the teams were so closely ranked. Another thing that added to the excitement of the upcoming game was the fact that Alabama had played LSU at home on November 5, 2011, and lost. But everyone knows that in the end there can only be one winner; and that winner was the better team. Alabama ended up dominating LSU with a final score of 21-0.
My family and I drove down to New Orleans on the morning of Monday, January 9th. Since the game was such a huge event that many students would be attending, school was optional. The amount of crazy fans and excitement in the city was unbelievable! We attended pre-game parties and tailgated until it was time to go to the stadium. It was obvious who the winner was going to be by the third quarter, and all the LSU fans were shocked and dissappointed. While it might have been a difficult game to watch, the experience of actually being there was one that I will never forget.
I watched the game at my house with a few of my friends. By the 3rd quarter, we were so disappointed that we began to pay more attention to the bachelor than the game! Although over all LSU had an amazing year, it still would have been nice to beat Bama again.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, your writing is very strong! I agree completely with you, it was SO depressing! I was at olivia's with evan and cole and i remember we were all like freaking out every time LSU did something bad. We were all expecting to win and we had planned to go and jump in the next door neighbors pool after a win. But unfortunately, by the 3rd quarter (like you said) it was obvious who would be taking home the Nation Title. I was so depressed and I remember practically falling asleep after the 3rd quarter ended. But it was a good season! Sounds like you had tons of fun in Nola, i wish i could have gone along with my parents! Maybe next year...
