Claiming 1908 would put LSU football into the same number of national championships as programs such as Nebraska and Miami. The great Doc Fenton was also retroactively given the Heisman that year. The 1908 team out scored its opponents 442-11. I see there being zero disadvantages to claiming the 1908 title. The 1908 team should be respected with the recognition they deserve... the NCAA even claims us as winning that year! There is even a blank placard next to the 2019 placard waiting to be engraved. I’ve emailed Woodward but no response of course.

We should claim 1935, 1936, and 1962 also.

It’s time. The professional accusation was proven false. Recognize this epic team.

There’s an effective way to do this.

Just start claiming it. There’s no need to wait for LSU or anyone else to give you permission to claim 1908. Just start claiming it yourself and it will spread. From now on, in casual conversation, always say that LSU has five national titles. 1908, 1958, 2003, 2007, 2019.

Do not let yourself be swayed. Never relent. Never entertain the argument against it. Eventually people won’t care enough to oppose you. They won’t have the energy for it.

How do I know it works? ULL has successfully won the war over the University of Louisiana name using the exact same tactic. There was even a law passed saying they couldn’t use that name. They just ignored it until everyone gave up opposing it. Now ESPN and everyone other than us simply calls them “Louisiana.”

Your willpower for change simply has to be stronger than the will to resist it.

I will start the ball rolling and say it loud and proud:

The LSU Tigers are the 1908 football National Champions.

With some of the titles alot of other schools claim, we should claim all that we can. Bc they do and flaunt it, so should we.

We don't have to claim that title, the writers during that time claimed it for us. It's ours. LSU is the 1908 National Champions.

Why do y’all care so much about a season that was over a century ago?

To brag that we’re like Miami and Nebraska?

Seems like such an Alabama thing to do that
