Question coming from a USC fan.

We won THE CHAMPIONSHIP :crystal: in the system that was agreed to by the Div 1A schools. If you check the records I'm sure you will find that the PAC 10 agreed to the BCS format.

You can claim the "championship" awarded to you by a bunch of overweight sports writers until the cows come home. We know who the true National Champions are for 2003.

 

#1 You're full of crap.

#2 Stay away from my phucking tailgate.

 

You basically quoted me and picked apart my post and tryed to make me seem like a arrogant sdouche bag

i tryed to express how i feel about the AP trophy situation as respectful as possible heres what i said:

Alright heres my take on the 2003 championship. You got the BCS we got the AP. You got a crystal ball. We got the AP national championship trophy. The reason we feel we got more credibility is because its sort of the old fashioned way of winning the NC and its what was handed out wayy before the BCS started as THE trophy.
Not that LSU shouldnt be known as 2003 NC i just believe SC deserved a little more credibility. Also the BCS is crap in my opinion and I dont think it will last another 10 years. So personally if that were the case i would rather have the AP.

There.

 

that is where you are full of crap...but we are use to dellusional fans dealing with Bama on a regular basis

 

Well ofcourse i dont expect you to be like "oh okay I get it." Just simply stating the other point of view. If the AP wasnt so old and historical i wouldnt say much about claiming it. I understand your point of view though. But when it comes down to it we are in the record books next to you guys. Thats just how it is.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

No college football fans that I know of like the BCS system. But it's what Division I NCAA institutions and their coaches (including Pete Carrol) agreed to. Until they get screwed by it, then they choose to backtrack and recognize the AP vote which they (meaning you and your school) agreed to dump. That's the sticking point for LSU fans on the 2003 non championship that USC claims title to. It's just as valid a championship as if I took out an ad in USA Today and got a dozen of my friends to vote on who should be champion. We all know it's much older than the BCS system and was the most valid way of determining a champion for decades. But not anymore. Why don't you guys call yourselves the 2003 UPI champions too? It would be just as valid.

The only place I agree with you is that USC should have played in the BCS Championship game against LSU instead of Oklahoma. Your boys got screwed by the system no doubt. But that's just he way it is.

You don't see Auburn claiming to be 2004 National Champions in even though they were undefeated and actually won more games than your team in a tougher conference and had to win a conference championship game. Because they aren't and neither was USC in '03.

You can post till the cows come home, nobody on any LSU forum will ever recognize USC's right to claim a National Championship for the 2003 season. Maybe you can find a different subject where we can find common ground but that's not it.

Since 1998 :crystal: = National Championship. Period.

 

Not to get into a pi$$ing match (again) over the abomination that the BCS matched OU with us, instead of you in the championship game, I would liken the faux rivalry that's developed between our two teams to never-ending foreplay.

We're aching to get it on with you guys on the field. A home and home series between our two teams would be huge. You would have a wonderful time @ LSU, as long as you take your ribbing and give some back. I know that most tailgates would go out of their way to serve you the best blackened Trojan that you've ever eaten!

 

LSU didn't create the BCS but like USC, agreed to be part of it. Further, LSU had not say so on who its opponent was in 2003. Its very tiring to see USC make excuses when it doesn't get its way especially your head coach. If USC has such a problem with the BCS why hasn't it returned its crystal. We won it for 2003, thats the end. No further explanation necessary. Auburn was undefeated in 2004 and would have beat you guys, "if" you want to play "what if". Don't come tailgating if you want to take issue with who the 2003 National Champions are. We'll discuss just about everything else, not that. If you wrote an article about the passion of college football you should understand that :thumb:

 

It would have been alot sweeter to have beaten USC in 03 thats for sure. Chokelahoma didn't deserve to be in that game. But that is the system that was agreed on, and in order to win a championship you have to play in the championship game. I wonder if there are ever any teams that get awarded championships when they play in consolation games? Thats what the Rose Bowl was that year. USC played the Big 10 champ in 03. Ha, LSU played the greatest offense in the history of college football up until that point with the winner of the Heisman, and a top 3 defense, and shut them the f down. So, enjoy your 03 sportswriters trophy, we enjoy the real trophy, and USC can take solace in the fact the computers did what they did in 03 so you at least have a trophy from that season even though its meaningless.
