2012 BCS title game - Alabama vs. LSU

The same page from prior to the deletion

As someone who's been working on the Complete History of CFB wiki cataloguing information on games in the 2000s, this is a pretty massive blow. Thank goodness for the Internet Archive. I can't fathom why ESPN did this, as the text likely took up very little space on their servers in the grand scheme of things. Pages going all the way back to the early 2000s now return dead links.
