If A&M can retroactively claim 2 NCs, we can legitimately claim 1908.

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 shouldn't it be acknowledged?

because the 1908 team, lead by Doc Fenton could have legitimately been considered a professional team at the time...

Fenton was "heavy recruited" to come to LSU which meant money, whores and booze....

not that there is anything wrong with that...
