This needs to be done. The mods on TideFans are terrible. [/quote]
Can't speak to the validity of the OP, but I know there is a board named Tidefans, and I know they don't allow LSU fans to post. And as for the moderator in question, I don't know much about him, but I know he doesn'...

Well never claiming a title in over a century and all of a sudden saying we have 4 titles is exactly what they would do.

Sounds like that's the basis for [i]not[/i] wanting to claim it, which is childish.
The feeling I keep getting is that acknowledging this title would be akin to making it up. That's not the case. It's not like LSU went 7-3 and one day some doofu...

Well yeah, since there have never been playoffs, isn't that basically the only way to do it?
What I'm gathering is that LSU doesn't acknowledge 1908, or several other titles because of the assumption that it a...

That's all I'm saying. And it's not so much claiming them as it is acknowledging that it was awarded. It's not like this is just a made up fact. LSU was awarded a National Championship in 1908, why the hell sh...

I didn't think people would focus so much on Carlisle Indian School. The point of the thread is that LSU was awarded a National Title in 1908 and it's not acknowledged. Seems strange.
Not sure why everyone's focusing on the Carlisle Indian Schoo...

 | 1908 National Champions - RedStar on 12/11/12 at 7:38 am Just curious, but why doesn't LSU acknowledge this title?
Only 2 teams were awarded Titles.
LSU who went 10-0 and outscored their opponents 442-11
Pennsylvania went 11-0-1. Their tie came against [i]Carlisle Indian School[/i].
Sure it's a split title, but so is 2003 and no one has ...
