Didn't beat LSU on the field at home. FOH
2003 LSU lost in Death Valley to UF coached by Ron Zook with a true freshman QB.
AND, what's your point? Mine was just pointing out that fact while y'all circle jerk over 9-1-1 team and lament about not being able to go to the Sugar bowl. The team who did, didn't lose to UF.
Let's talk UF's schedule. The best team by record that they beat was 9-3 Kentucky who was 3-3 in SEC play.
Lost 8-5 Miami neautral site
Tied 8-3-1 LSU at home
Beat 3-8 Tulane at home (Tulane fired their coach)
Beat 4-7 Miss State at home
Beat 6-5 Syracuse at home
Beat 7-4-1 Tennessee at Neyland (3-3 in SEC)
Beat 2-9 Cincinnatti at home
Beat 8-4 Auburn at home
Beat 7-4-1 Georgia in JAX
Beat 9-3 Kentucky (3-3 in SEC)
Beat 7-3-2 Florida State at Doak
Big ole meh

Right, LSU has a national championship from 1958, and multiple SEC championships before 2000 and multiple top 10 rankings in the final polls. Why would we think football only started in the 2000s?

You know what else is a big ole meh? LSU lost to 4-7 State who finished last in the conference.
LSU fans always want to bring up schedule. I have never seen a fan base get so into the minutiae of scheduling. LSU got into the Sugar Bowl as a replacement for UF and looked every bit like a replacement team. I have no idea what your argument is here, LSU doesn't claim the SEC title, so why do you care? If you really want to see a breakdown of our schedule, I think this guy is honest about it.

Because between 1958 and 2000 you were generally an easy win for top teams and your program wasn't great. Especially the closer you get to 2000.
In 1993, LSU managed to beat a good Alabama team. It was basically like the Vandy loss this year in terms of it being a huge upset.
Be honest, what year did you start following LSU football?

I just have to comment that the website you are linking to is absolute trash, produced by someone who has absolutely no real understanding of the sport or how national championships worked.

UF was easily the best team in the nation in 1984.
A mere four years after they went winless in ... wait, was it '79 or '80?
SMU got the death penalty for far less than what Pell did at Clemson and at Florida.

Ehh that’s a little extreme, they all got caught doing the same thing but Pell got caught with a 5k slush fund(around 20k in 84) smu was directly tied to a 65k slush fund

I don't know all the details of the others, but SMU got the death penalty because they kept cheating even after getting caught, then got caught again etc.
They wouldn't have gotten the death penalty if they had stopped after getting caught the first time.

1958 or so. The 1990s were a bad period, but certainly don’t define LSU, except for people who have no knowledge of football before then.

the words from Clem U's biggest booster for not only Pell & Ford - but Tates Locke - meet BC Inabinet -
quote:
"How can you forget a man like me? I went to a Ku Klux Klan rally and a man said, 'I don't know who anybody is under those sheets, but there's ol' B.C. over there!' "
Inabinet used to arrive at Clemson home football games in a custom-built bus equipped with leather and teak bars, a TV set, stereo equipment and a P.A. system. In the back of the bus was a large seat, a "throne," where Inabinet would sit and preside over the festivities, speaking to his entourage through a microphone. Though Inabinet was one of three Clemson boosters ordered by the NCAA in 1975 to disassociate themselves from university recruiting programs, he says he is still "Clemson's official worldwide ambassador appointed by the president of the university."
Though Inabinet doesn't actively recruit for Clemson these days, he's quick to underscore his importance during the Locke years. "Tates Locke couldn't recruit a jackass," says Inabinet. "I was the one who recruited and signed Colon Abraham, Stan Rome, Skip Wise and Tree Rollins," four Clemson stars of the early '70s.
Clem players were regularly sleeping with a teammates sister & mother in the dorms under Dirty Danny Ford's watch - not long after Pell left - both mother & sister were on the 'payroll' for the football program - it's in the NCAA's violations report
