Short is too obvious. I've been racking my brain for something good.

RGIII received tons of presents, and flack from fans this weekend. Picture here: RGIII Gifts.

This needs to be done. The mods on TideFans are terrible.


Can't speak to the validity of the OP, but I know there is a board named Tidefans, and I know they don't allow LSU fans to post. And as for the moderator in question, I don't know much about him, but I know he doesn't like LSU at all.

Claiming a title over a century later is very Bama esq. "What does Bama have to do with this?" Well never claiming a title in over a century and all of a sudden saying we have 4 titles is exactly what they would do. As an LSU fan I like to believe we are better than using Bama magicians and having national titles magically appear on our total.



It's not magically appearing, it's been there the whole time, LSU just hasn't acknowledged it. Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?

OP you really need to edit your first post unless you want to keep getting history lessons.


Haha, nah. It's better this way. The people who only like the sound of their own voice keep outing themselves :lol:

I'm fine not being like Bama


Sounds like that's the basis for not wanting to claim it, which is childish.

The feeling I keep getting is that acknowledging this title would be akin to making it up. That's not the case. It's not like LSU went 7-3 and one day some doofus with a computer decided: "Hey Let's give LSU an extra Title!" and everyone jumped on board.

No, LSU went 10-0, they didn't just beat everyone, they decimated everyone. They won all 10 games by an average score of 44-1. That's unheard of. To this day, that 1908 team still holds several records including most ppg. To ignore them is a disservice to LSU.

Ignore the title if you like, but to do so on the basis I've seen here is beyond childish. Acknowledging this title should have nothing to do with Alabama. Stop letting them control your every thought.

1908 was more than earned and deserves a spot on the southern scoreboard of Tiger Stadium.

Here's the catch. THERE WERE NO STANDARDS AT THE TIME.

So we're supposed to just pretend that those games and seasons didn't exist?

They take a selection by a major selector and call it a championship.


Well yeah, since there have never been playoffs, isn't that basically the only way to do it?

What I'm gathering is that LSU doesn't acknowledge 1908, or several other titles because of the assumption that it adds a little more validity to Alabama's claim of 14? That's absurd and is very little brotherish. LSU is better than that. 1908 is a legitimate National Championship by the standards of the time.

You can't apply today's rules to yesterday's history. If that's the case, then someday some goons will claim that BCS titles aren't legitimate because they were "pre-playoff." A National Title is a National Title and all you can do is go by the standards of the day. The standards of 1908 say LSU was a National Champion. It's a disservice to the University and the players to continue to ignore it.

Alabama and USCw exaggerate their NC's. Our 2003 was a BCS National Championship. Our 3 are rock solid!


Jeeze some of you guys sound like Auburn fans.

This post has nothing to do with Alabama. You can stop bringing Alabama up. You can stop bringing USCw up. This post has nothing to do with them either.

LSU was awarded a National Championship by a major selector and it's not acknowledged. That seems absurd.

I realize some of you guys hate Alabama, but when you constantly bring them up, you look butthurt. Alabama has nothing to do with the awarding of the 1908 National Title. I'm begging you guys to stop bringing them up. If you hate them so much, why do you talk about them? When I hate something I ignore it.
