1908 National Champions?

Fans have been speculating and saying for years that LSU claim it because they have the most legit claim to it. It is even list LSU for 1908 on the NCAA website. Has anyone ever asked Woody or anyone else at LSU why they do not claim it?

That wasn’t football. Shut up about it. We’re better than this

Bama ‘claims’ they won the Natty in 1908 with a 6-1-1 record
LSU went 10-0

Retroactively claiming national championships from over 100 years ago is just weird and pointless.
Honestly, how does this matter in any way shape or form?

I thought for sure I saw the 1908 team recognized among the section of upright metal plaques of championship teams outside of the Tiger Stadium entrance with player names listed like Doc Fenton. If so, that's an official championship claim, no?
Or am I misremembering & going crazy via the Mandela Effect?

The LSU Tigers went unbeaten and untied against a weaker opposition. All three teams were named national champions retroactively by various organizations. Only Pennsylvania officially claims a national championship for the 1908 season.

I've already claimed it in my mind.

LSU could claim 1935 and 1936 in addition to 1908, but can't be like Alabama. 1908 is a legitimate case tho, considering Tulane said LSU was playing professional athletes not enrolled in the university. And LSU was cleared of any wrong doing.

Seriously? Well over 100 years ago. Who cares?

I don’t understand why some of yall care so much about this. IMO claiming old titles this many years later is Aggie behavior.
We have 4 legitimate national titles, numerous legitimate SEC championships and 3 Heisman winners. Our program doesn’t need to claim old titles to make us look like a legit program.
