Nah. 1935 would be extremely weak

Powerhouses at the time princeton and Minnesota finished undefeated, while we were 9-2

Doesn't Minnesota have an NC season when they finished like 9-2 after the bowl game? Bowls weren't usually considered much better than exhibitions at that time iirc

Before the bowl we were 9-1

Minny undefeated. No reason to claim that title

Bowl games did not count on national championships in the 1930's, the championship is for the season; Bowl games were at that time a reward for a good season only.

Love Woodward for this. And I need a 5 time natty champs shirt!


I’m trying to like Scott Woodward and have taken a “believe it when I see it” attitude now about a 1908 Title. Having sent many letters to ADs since the 1990’s, I have gotten little more than polite lip service, but have been told that many others felt the same way and that helps knowing.

No because you have multiple access egress points between the monuments and the spacing looks adequate!

Where are they gonna put the monument for 2020?

Wasn't he named the retroactive Heisman winner from that year?

No leg to stand on. We had 2 losses and NCAA doesn't recognize it.

1908 is recognized which is the only reason we should claim it.

Yea 35 isn’t legit even though National Championships were awarded before bowls and we still would have had 1 loss and Minnesota was undefeated
