I get the concern for sure, but I think Bama just claims anything the NCAA will allow them to. 1908 is a more legit title for LSU than the vast majority of Bama's titles. There's no reason not to claim it.

It’s not though. It’s not some championship voted on by the State Times/Morning Advocate or other local rag. It’s completely a legitimate title. It’s like denying 2019 LSU their national championship because Bubba Gump wrote an article in the Tennessean saying Burrow was a ringer. Complete bullshite, and proven to be complete bullshite, but gutless people afraid of being labeled pulling a Bama have denied one of the greatest LSU teams ever their National Championship.

The NCAA recognizes it. It’s time LSU does

It was silly and they caught crap for a week when they did this in the 80s, but everyone followed suit. Any claimed title pre BCS is subjective BS, so may as well market the program as well as possible.

True. But more titles claimed looks better on paper, and only college football history needs will care about which titles are “legitimate.”

Print the 1908 shirts.
