That was by far the most dominant team in school history, statistically.

You do realize that everything that goes down on the SECR doesn't not translate to life? Like everything here does not matter one bit? So I will take it for what is worth which is NOTHING. You should really try it, makes everything less salty

But why is it that some LSU fan has to jump up and down and yell "look at me" every time any interesting conversation about football starts?
Every fanbase represented here has these type of posters . 1 click < that way and you're opened up to 2,000+ Tigers. Get over it

I did know that every internet resource mentions Alabama's win in the Rose Bowl in 1926 as being THE game that made Southern football.
All Im concluding from your spiel is that you think Alabama put the South on the map while some LSU posters think differently so that bothers you. So you result to exaggerating and generalizing.
Seems like the things you read here really bother you and that's a you problem. Before you meltdown just letting you know that I do not think LSU put the South on the map. But there is an argument against Bama being that as well.
And if you want to genralize for kicks, some real truth, no other fanbase is a bigger laughing stock then the Alabama fans. Your coach agrees, this board agrees, and your own fans agree. Perspective goes a long way bruh.

Yeah WG, I am for real. Apparently her grandfather went to the game!

Ah, I see. SO why does it have NCF listed twice on there for 2 teams?
Penn won the HAF retroactive hillbilly with a computer national championship.
Did LSU only 'win' a share of the NCF retroactive hillbilly with a computer national championship? Maybe that's why you don't claim it.

A thread about the history of Alabama vs Georgia, and the beginnings of Southern football, hijacked by wild-chapo into a poor-wittle-disrespected-LSU-who-was-so-important-back-when-no-one-knew-it-that-no-one-knew-it.
Hey, a-hole, here's what I posted:

I think you'd have to put Tech's 1928 win against Notre Dame in Atlanta up there as well. They went undefeated and won the Rose/MNC that year.
I've noticed people like to discount Georgia Tech's contribution to southern football on this board. They were a MAJOR player back in the day.

Apart from that I've responded to your freak-outs about LSU.
I didn't bring LSU up, bub, but you sure went on a rant.

Wrong. I guess I didn't verbalized it well. History doesn't give a shite about LSU football and neither do college football fans outside of Louisiana.

Wild-chap, Please be informed I have a class-action suit in Federal court about the continuing irreverent and disrespectful use of the name "Jack" as a pre-cursor to various degrading terms.
This suit especially targets those people with so little imagination for insults that they drool and stutter and then mumble something about "jack-shite" or "jumpn' jack-flash" or "Jack-o-lantern" or "don't know jack," and then giggle like geese.
You, wild-chapo, have just been made a party to that suit. Prepare thy anus and get your wallet ready to pay damages...

2 games that helped to put Southern Football on the map
by Jacknola
Foolish people. Don't you all know that LSU invented football, and the internet, and everything, and anyone who denies it is just a deny-er? ...Or they are a ref from somewhere else who hates LSU and cheats them by throwing flags which is proof that they hate LSU? OR they are some media person who hates LSU because they don't tell everyone every time, every year that LSU is the bestest and most big university in the world? Why LSU is the most important school in the South and is the best at the football ever and all those Rose Bowls and stuff are not nearly as important as LSU. Besides, the refs cheated them all the time, and any teams that beat them couldn't really because LSU has "all that talent" and no one else could possibly have any talent. Surely no one else has a QB "that can sling it" ... and besides the refs cheat because they call penalties on LSU.
Impressive post. You come off as such a classy, high-character member of your fan base.

LSU was awarded a shared title with Penn by the National Championship Foundation in 1908. I don't think LSU claims it. Bama was awarded the NCF title in 1945, but they don't claim it either.

Kentucky was the team that brought football to the south.
STOLL FIELD: In 1880 the first college football game ever played in the South was held here at what was eventually named Stoll Field. It was dedicated in 1916 at the Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt game and was named in honor of alumnus and long-term Board of Trustees member Judge Richard C. Stoll. The field was the setting of early football games and an integral part of student life.
The game was played between Kentucky University and Centre College
Kentucky would also be the site of the first SEC football on 09/30/33 when Kentucky beat Sewanee 7-0. The first SEC president was I believe the Kentucky president at the time.
NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!
Before UGA played Yale and before Bama won the Rose Bowl the real team that put southern football on the map was Centre College in central Kentucky. Centre played two games that changed football in the South and remains famous for both games today.
Game #1 | C6H0 LINK
Centre beat Harvard 6–0 in the game, in what is widely considered one of the greatest upsets in college football history.
The game was a scoreless tie at halftime. Early in the third quarter, Centre's All American Blocking Back, "Red" Roberts told Bo McMillin, "it's time to score, ride my hump", and McMillin rushed for the lone touchdown of the game. The Praying Colonels' defense held off the Crimson's powerful offense from there for a 6–0 victory. Following the game, students from MIT who came to cheer against Harvard carried McMillin off the field and tore down the goalposts. The Colonels had shocked mighty Harvard, becoming the first school ever from outside the East to beat one of the Ivy League's "Big Three" of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Back in Danville, Kentucky, overjoyed students painted the "impossible formula" C6H0 (Centre 6, Harvard 0) on everything in sight (including a few cows). At least one marking still remains, on the side of the Centre post office.
Game #2 | 1922 Dixie Classic (what would become the Cotton Bowl) LINK
The 1922 Dixie Classic was a post-season college football bowl game between the Texas A&M Aggies and the Centre College Praying Colonels on January 2, 1922 at Fair Park Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Texas A&M defeated Centre 22–14. It is also the game in which Texas A&M's 12th man tradition originated.
Centre came into the game undefeated, outscoring its opponents by a margin of 314 to 6. It also upset Harvard in the regular season in what was later deemed one of the greatest upsets in college football history. A&M finished its regular season 5–1–2 and captured a Southwest Conference title.
