What was your previous username on this LSU website?
Why would anyone have a previous name here? Seems weird.

1894 Yale had more grit IMO. It’s really only between them and Indiana.
Exactly. Many players a year died, as in quit breathing, each season in the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th. They were literally murdered on the gridiron.
In the year 1905, 19 players died in that single season alone.
While the old teams could not beat any modern teams worth their salt, they could easily kill them.

And 5 of those wins were vs. INSERT CITY HERE Athletic Association; basically YMCA teams.
That's just how they had to fill in the schedule back then. You know, kind of like how modern teams schedule 2 or 3 teams that are basically no better than good high school teams and then have the perpetual punching bags of whatever conference they are in to finish things out.

Probably the greatest single college football season ever.
Behind 2020 Alabama and one of those 90s Nebraska teams.
And 2001 Miami.
And we can't forget the old time teams either. Sure, they could never beat a modern team, But, at the time, a team like Yale was the best among what was available.
You have to compare apples to apples. For instance, if an ant colony dominates all other ant colonies because its soldiers have been taught the best fighting techniques, among ants, they stand supreme.
If a pride of lions dominates all other prides and take all the meat and live the fat life and most complete lives, they are the best among their kind.
One would never say that the best ants could physically beat the best lions, but each are the best among their kind and in their own time.
It was just as hard and impressive for Yale to beat all the teams they did as it was for Indiana to do the same.

another team was talented enough to win 16 games. In 1894, Yale won 16 games.
Coached to this amazing feat by a 2nd year coach, just as Cignetti is a 2nd year coach, Yale won more games than they allowed points. They only allowed 13 points against them all season and had 13 shutouts out of the 16 games.
Indiana almost stands alone at the pinnacle of major college football. What an amazing team and season.

Below is a picture of LSU HC Lane Kiffin and the #1 OL in college football…the young child that grown Ole Miss fans cussed out and flipped off as he boarded the private jet for a much better place.
I'm not sure if that is an adapted son of Kiffin or just one of the many bastards he has likely produced with 19 year old girls but, that person is a good 100 pounds+ heavier than Kiffin and probably 2 or 3 inches taller than he is.
I know a lot of college football fans like to call the players "kids", but he is hardly a young child.
