    Just a reminder to all in the forum what TE posted after our road win at Georgia.

    Let me say this...John Brady's more predictable than an Austrailian aborignine with a boomerang in his hand...

    You can throw it as far away from where it starts as you want, but it will come right back to you...LSU doesn't have marathoners for a starting five...They have basketball players...and they don't have anything behind them...

    This team will come full circle, and disappoint all those so excited...Rest assured...Past behavior is the best indicator of future activity. They always run out of gas because they have no depth...This season will hold true to form...


    Fact TE... Western Division Champions with a 12-4 record.
    Fact TE... NCAA Tournament Participant
    Fact TE... Brady will be here next year
    Fact TE... You are miserable with this outcome

    I'm not picking a fight and I obviously don't have a dog in the hunt, but most of you are saying LSU is the West Champ. All the Alabama papers are saying bama is the West Champ. What's wrong with saying co-champs these days when that's the way it is? :confused:

    FACT: This is only his second winning conference record in eight seasons
    FACT: We would not tolerate this type of inconsistency in football
    FACT: Brady will be back
    FACT: Some LSU basketball fans have no desire to win a National Championship


    This team held true to form of recent Brady teams. If this team pulls another 1-2 post season flame out, Brady should go despite the nice six-week run to close the season. The post game interview where Brady raved about rings and banners was sickening.

    THIS IS LSU, not Mississippi State; moral victories do not change things. LSU SHOULD WIN THE SEC IN BASKETBALL ON A REGULAR BASIS. Brown, for all of his shortcomings, understood this and made it happen. Brown was the most hated coach in Kentucky because he took them on and won. Brown goal wasn't just making the NCAA, but actually winning more than one game. LSU can do much better. Do not let the glitter the recent successes obscure the established track record and pattern.

    A brown suit looks nice, but it will never get you into the executive lunchroom. If you're happy in mid-level mediocrity, keep it. If you aspire for more, take it up to a top-flight suit. Joe Dean's hires were all brown suits.

    This Western Division championship is like DiNardo's two co-championships in the 90's. Bling-bling, but no perks.

    Careful man, you will not only upset the bashers but the TE Toadies as well. You will have the board in an uproar again. :D

    You should be careful as well.. You might awaken the fans of the Toadies or perhaps Toad from X-Men.

    You don't remember Dale Brown very well, do you?

    Does 4 SEC titles in 25 years sound like winning the SEC on a regular basis?


    Let's look at how LSU fared in the postseason the last 16 years of Dale Brown's tenure at LSU:

    1981-82: NIT, lost 1st round to Tulane
    1982-83: NIT, lost 1st round to UNO
    1983-84: NCAA, lost 1st round to Dayton
    1984-85: NCAA, lost 1st round to Navy
    1985-86: NCAA, lost in national semifinals to Louisville
    1986-87: NCAA, lost in regional finals to Indiana
    1987-88: NCAA, lost 1st round to Georgetown
    1988-89: NCAA, lost 1st round to UTEP
    1989-90: NCAA, lost 2nd round to Georgia Tech
    1990-91: NCAA, lost 1st round to UConn
    1991-92: NCAA, lost 2nd round to Indiana
    1992-93: NCAA, lost 1st round to California
    1993-94: losing record, no postseason
    1994-95: losing record, no postseason
    1995-96: losing record, no postseason
    1996-97: losing record, no postseason

    12 postseason appearances in his final 16 years, and Dale Brown managed to get out of the first round all of 4 times...and beyond the second round
    TWICE.

    The moral of this story: Dale Brown wasn't NEARLY all that you're making him out to be. He certainly never led LSU to the kind of prominence that would warrant the expectations that some of you have.

    The 1999-2000 season, actually. Won the West and shared the overall title at 11-5 w/ Kentucky, and I believe, Tennessee and Florida.
