What percentage of LSU?
SEC titles? LSU has won 4 of their 11 the past 16 years. The SEC was founded in 1933. So they won 7 in their first 67 years and 4 the past 16. LSU also won 3 pre-SEC conference titles. No one said LSU hasn't been better now than they were, but you are trying to post stats to try to prove LSU wasn't worth anything whatsoever before. I could say, Alabama averaged 6.6 wins per season before Saban got there in it's entire history and that Saban averages 11.1 and say "omg, Alabama wasn't shite before Saban." And that would sound ridiculous to you because it is. Same thing with LSU. If you go back to the start of LSu football in 1893, they played 2 and 3 games seasons until 1898, didn't play more than 7 games in a season until 1903. Teams simply didn't play 10 games, on average, a year until the 1930s. College football didn't play 11 games in a season until the late 70s. They didn't start playing 12 game seasons until Les Miles' first year at LSU. So yeah, please cite "overall wins" in a time period that played far fewer games each season than they play now

Nah bro. Didn't you see? Pre-2000, national titles are all that matter, now.
Yale is the undisputed king of CFB, pre-2000 of course. LSU was barely decent.

This is the best counter argument for my point about % of overall program wins that have taken place since 2000.
That said, if you want to look at program wins for each of those blocks of time you listed (1903 - 1930, 1930 - 1970, 1970 - 1999, 2000 - present), I think you'll still find that this is by far the best stretch in LSU history. That's the main point people are making here. LSU football didn't start in 2000, it just started being an annual title contender in 2000.
