When is LSU finally going to claim their rightful 1908 NC?

Just doing a little more research on it and what a shame that a baseless claim with no proof whatsoever of LSU using ringers by a journalist denied the school of it, and still LSU is scared to claim it, even after being cleared of all wrongdoing.

The NCAA recognizes it, and the claims were completely fabricated, yet LSU still won’t claim it. It boggles the mind. That team deserves their recognition for a super year. Right is right. Claim it, and hoist the flag.

I’ve been saying it’s time to pull a Bama and put the 5th flag up. You know those SOB’s would do it and it’s a legit championship.

There is absolutely zero excuse not to claim it. That was one of the most dominant teams in CFB history. I also wish we would claim 1936, as that is another clearly legitimate title, IMO.

I’d like to say frick bama for claiming titles like this.

But I’d also like to see the flag.

I normally don’t give a shite about things like this, but yes, I’m wondering what the deal is with Tate and Woodward. We should have already claimed 1908. Put the stone marker up in the NC circle in front of Tiger Stadium.

1908, 1935, 1936, and 2011 should all be claimed. They’re all recognized by at least one body/publication.

When we won in 2019, I wrongly assumed Woodward would piggyback the 1908 title and raise another flag. Missed opportunity.

I think it would best be done in tandem with our next national championship as opposed to just raising a 1908 flag on a random year.

I completely agree. LSU should claim it, the NCAA already acknowledges us as co-champs.

Poor Aggie

Someone should call in on the coach’s show and ask Brian Kelly about it directly. I bet he’d get it done.

The claim should happen this Saturday via banner attached to alive Mike The Tiger's chariot-trailer as he's being wheeled into Tiger Stadium pregame.

LSU wasn't a top ten team in 1908.

We should claim the 1908 championship AND have a 115-year reunion next year…
Ohhhhhhh wait, nevermind on the reunion.
