[eastcat]

Would love to see them claim 2004. One last FU at the BCS.

We need to start claiming nattys.  2012 for sure.  Probably 1998 too.

[Trogdor]

Somebody is a little sour

[Bqqkie Pimp]

Only seems fair since aggy claimed a few more Natty's and confy's when they joined the $EC....

Do conf. champs serious roll over like that w/o context?

I believe that they later added "South Division" in very small lettering under the years that they didn't actually win the Big 12, but still....

And the only reason they later added "South Division" later was due to the backlash they were getting.  They were hoping it would go unchallenged by the public.

Claim ALL the Natty's

[WildcatWillie]

I think we've got a shot to win next year's National Championship. Can we put that up on our stadium?

Absolutely. Like staking a claim.   

[Rage Against the McKee]

We should probably just go ahead and claim '98, since we finished the regular season ranked #1.

[Benja]

Let's just claim some championships in the 1910's like everyone else. Nobody really remembers what was going on back then anyways.

Yeah I say we claim 1910 because we went 10-1 that year under Mike Ahearn and shut out 7 of our 11 opponents including William Jewel (57-0; suck it Snyder!).  We outscored our opponents that season by a margin of 336-28.     We did not win 10 games in a season again for another 85 years, so 1910 is definitely the one to claim.  Also beat the Pig Aggies that year 5-0.

Then the whole team died from dysentery.

I think we could make a real claim on this one

[Benja]

This could be a real email john currie moment.

[Cartierfor3]

1983: Finished 11-1 and SEC Champions. Outscored opponents 311-186 against the fifth-toughest schedule in college football history. Recognized national champion by 10 selectors including N.Y. Times, Billingsley, Massey, Howell and Hatch. Recognized by the NCAA. Coached by Pat Dye.

What game is our challenger for Gameday?  9 time champ v 2 time champ is pretty big

Don't forget 1910.

[scottwildcat]

_FAN can you design some 1910 National Champ gear?

[EMAWesome]

The 1910 NCAA football season had no clear-cut champion, with the Official NCAA Division I Football Records Book listing Harvard and Pittsburgh as having been selected national champions.[2] Only Harvard claims a national championship for the 1910 season.

pfft (although they did allow 5 points all season)

Rule changes were made prior to the 1910 season to permit more use of the forward pass, with complicated limitations:[3]

- The only eligible receivers were the two ends, who could catch a pass no more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, and could not be interfered with until the ball was caught.
- A legal pass could not be thrown unless the quarterback was at least 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage and the rest of the players, except the two ends, were at least 1 yard behind the scrimmage line.
- On kickoffs and punts, the kicking team's players could not be touched until they had advanced 20 yards
- Flying tackles were outlawed, and "the man making a tackle must have at least one foot on the ground".
 
- The ballcarrier could no longer be aided in any way by his teammates.

Other rules in 1910 were:

- Field 110 yards in length
- Kickoff made from midfield
- Three downs to gain ten yards
- Touchdown worth 5 points
- Field goal worth 3 points
- Game time based on agreement of the teams, not to exceed two 45 minute halves. - so that Pepsi commercial was pretty much fact
