It was football, football was different 10 years ago than it is now....not saying we should claim it, but that argument is dumb

You're right. The game was much more brutal and violent back then and players literally died on the football field. It got so bad the sport was nearly banned.

Let me guess- you are young and dumb! LSU was named National Champions and should acknowledge the great athletes (Doc Fenton anyone?) that played on that 1908 team! Your claim that it wasn't football doesn't make sense, totally illogical comment!! YOU should be better than this!!

The Forward Pass was first legal in the 1906 college football season. The 1908 season was the third full season of modern college football, as we know it today.
You can argue that football in 1905 and before that wasn't "real football" because no forward pass, but, arguing that 1908 football wasn't real football is silly.
