Many fans do not know that in 1908 the LSU Football Tigers went undefeated ( 10-0) outscoring opponents 442-11. The 1908 Tigers were deemed co-National Champions along with Penn. Yet, the school does not officially recognize this season as a Natty.

There was a controversy surrounding the paying of players, but LSU was cleared of any such charge.

The record:

LSU - 41 Young Mens Gymnastics Club of Nola - 0

LSU - 81 Soldiers of Jackson Barracks - 5

LSU - 26 Texas A & M - 0

LSU - 55 SW Presbyterian - 0

LSU - 10 Auburn - 2

LSU - 50 Mississippi A&M - 0

LSU - 89 Baylor - 0

LSU - 32 Haskell - 0

LSU - 22 La Tech - 0

LSU - 36 Arkansas - 4

Somebody needs to run another flag up in the north end zone !!!

How do that many safeties happen on a team so dominant? Bad long snapper or something?

The rules were different then. Touchdowns were worth 5. Field goals were worth 4.

Alabama says that if we don't want it they will take it.

LSU admin needs to recognize this finally. It's even listed as a championship on the freaking NCAA website. This is not a Bama-esque claim.

This means we should be considered the first SEC school to win the MNC

My understanding is that LSU team was essentially UCF and Penn was Bama/Clemson. Good but not on the same level. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Blake Ferguson's great great grand-pappy Zeke Ferguson came down with a mean case of tuberculosis before the season and had to redshirt...

Let’s start a GoFundMe for a fourth flag pole. I’ll toss in a couple bucks for it.

I’ve been preaching this for years. Really stupid for LSU not to recognize this team. It’s even listed on the NCAA’s website... yet LSU won’t claim it.
