Good thing football didn't start until 2010 for us.

I read that. Its very interesting. Some dont count those bowls so a I left them off for a couple of teams in the name of fairness.

I don't know, seems I read somewhere that South Carolina beat LSU back in the 30s. Then there was that time in the 90s...

ETA: apparently you're counting the fiesta bowl as a major bowl.

Yeah, I don't think LSU even counts it in its official bowl numbers.
But it makes a great story.
Just in case you didn't go to the link...
W. F. "Pat" Ryan, an end on the 1907 team, said: "Every time we made a touchdown you'd have thought there was a flock of blackbirds flying across the field. Those sailors from the Paducah and Dubuque would toss their blue hats in the air and chant their 'lick the spicks' battle cry."
Fenton's incredible broken-field scampers and a 67-yard punt return by Seip kept the crowd enthralled. Because of Wingard's ingenuity, Fenton finished this and many another game with a jersey torn to shreds. It’s possible Doc pioneered the tear-away jersey because, before every game, Wingard would soak Doc's woolen shirt in a mild acid solution to weaken the fabric, making Fenton a tough man to grab above the waist.
That night Havana was a madhouse. Wingard lifted curfew. Champagne flowed. Americans spent money on the players like it was going out of style. Homes were thrown open. Exclusive clubs feted them. The players' gray skull caps with the "L" on the front brought ten dollars each as souvenirs.
Years ago Doc Gandy (a native of Sabine Parish, Louisiana, he had gone on to become a veterinarian in Baton Rouge) recalled a "second game" in Havana between Christmas and New Year's and, if his memory was accurate, there was no question about the charges of professionalism leveled against the 1908 team. "We found we could make twenty-five dollars apiece," said Gandy, "so we made up two teams from the two squads and played again. We only had thirteen, so we loaned Havana a couple of men. We still won it, something like 20-0."
Fenton, who had won the nickname "The Artful Dodger" in the United States, caught the fancy of Cuban fans who hailed him as “El Rubio Vaselino” - "the Vaselined redhead" - as tough to catch as the proverbial greased pig. The first of the Pennsylvania coal boys to make good set a new LSU record of ninety-four points and fourteen touchdowns. Not bad for a 165-pound end who could hit the ground with his shoulder, bounce up, and keep going.

Then at least give me an opportunity to make it to Oxford for a good ranked matchup. I went in '11, but it was tamed considering the different ends of the football universe were at, at the time.

I just edited. The fiesta bowl has only been a "major" bowl since the BCS started. Before that, it was just another bowl. The cotton bowl was more prestigious than the fiesta, but I guess for the sake of this discussion I will stand corrected.

It was a pretty awesome atmosphere this year even though we weren't ranked.

No, its cool. I figured that since before the BCS the Cotton was top 4 and after Fiesta was so I would count them both for the sake of fairness.
It is in no way meant a slight on Georgia and its great accomplishments. Just my arbitrary system.

Wow. I forgot that Ole Miss and Tennessee were powerhouse programs.

Are you 12? That's the only way you don't remember Tennessee being a powerhouse

The Bacardi Bowl. Never heard of it.
Great story! Thanks for sharing it.
I guess STTDB should be considered a "legacy"! At least it won't start a war with Spain.
