The major problem with what if’s is the far reaching implications of everything that has actually happened. If you remove one thing, does the present happen? Let’s put it like this, if you rewrite the 2011 BCS title game, for instance, do we get the 2019 National Champions?
You can make a pretty compelling case that a win there keeps Miles here for longer, which means no Orgeron, no offensive revamp, no Joe Burrow, and you know, no 2019. It’s dangerous to change the past is what I’m saying.
But I have also long since argued that the tenure of Curley Hallman was the Hindenburg disaster of LSU sports.
