I didn't realize LSU had won a Final Four. Did LSU win with Shaq, or was it a while ago with Pistol Pete?

Not a "final four", a "championship".

Circa 1935.

Whoa, and a lot of LSU fans make fun of some of Bama's football national titles??

Early history (1909–1957)

In the days before the NCAA Tournament, the Tigers won a 1935 mythical national championship by winning the American Legion Bowl (one of several mythical championships awarded that year), under head coach Harry Rabenhorst. While this championship is not officially recognized by the NCAA since it did not sanction a tournament, LSU officially claims this championship and displays a banner in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Rabenhorst also led the Tigers to the 1953 Final Four with a team that included future NBA Hall of Famer Bob Pettit. LSU is the only school that officially claims an American Legion Bowl championship.
