Time to claim 1908

So dumb we don’t do this

Is any one really pushing it? Maybe we need to go viral with it

Maybe they’re waiting for the 120th anniversary season

I tell people LSU has 5 national titles if they ask. It’s a legit National Championship, allowed like 10 points all season. The NCAA recognizes LSU with 5, it’s ridiculous LSU doesn’t do the same.

There are articles from the 1930's claiming it put out by LSU, when DOC Fenton was honored in Tiger Stadium LSU still claimed it.

LSU wasn’t “awarded” a title in 1908 until some self-appointed committee selected them as co-champs in the 1980s.

Gross. Who cares?

This is something A&M people do.

"This is something A&M people do"

this is not A&M!

Think about the kids on that team, it is a slap in the face to not honor this team!! We embrace our history of the old war school, so why not honor the legacy of the men on that team!!!

Mike at the time of 1908 there only an induvial appointing a National Champion,

those that did only saw about 10 games a year at max.

Most of the games that were watched, were Army-Navy, Penn, Harvard, Princton.

The person that bought LSU in to play was the reporter from the Memphis paper and Grantland Rice's attack on the LSU team (and I know what was said that night in the Tennessean Newpaper). Rice based his article off Tulane's Smith Brothers and BAUER, Charles C. Charles played under his father's name, and there was no reason, as he had not played football the year before.

I have copies of the statement from many of those there that night.

Not one of the northern writers saw any of the great southern teams play.

Vandy is the only team playing Michigan in that time and it is because of the Michigan connections, which reach down to Tulane and Joe Curtis

You are correct about that, but the problem is the Southern teams did not fare well when they played teams from other regions. From TipTop25.com:

LSU played a 1-game schedule and won 10-2, and over an Auburn team that, while 6-1, we have no reason to see as particularly powerful. Auburn beat Sewanee 6-0, who tied Vanderbilt, who lost 17-6 to a mediocre Ohio State and 24-6 to Michigan. And Michigan was smashed badly by its two Eastern opponents. Sewanee also tied St. Louis, beaten handily at home by both the Eastern teams they played, one of whom was not even top 25.
