re: Do fans that bitch about Wade remember Dale's teams?

Dale brown is the best basketball coach in lsu history.

Almost 30 years worth of data. Wade has FAR exceeded what Brown did before he started cheating with that ‘78 class. Hired HS coaches of recruits.

I was there when Press was fired. Since Dale didn’t win a National title and that is how we measure success at LSU, he isn’t.

His 86 team had one really good player. He willed that team to the final four.

You don’t have a clue about ‘86 with this asinine comment. ‘86 started EXACTLY like this team and was LOADED. Crap happened. Failing players,
Illness, etc. Williams was not the only “great player” on this team. Fundamentally Taylor, Redden and Blanton were as sound and had an extreme basketball In. Redden was lights out shooter.

He didn’t “will” anything. That team had chemistry because of everyone they lost during that season. For the record, 2022 is much like that season.

He was a massive cheater. Williams was the prize. He drove a nicer car than most executives today. He was found at the horse track before/during recruiting.

I was there. Saw it first hand.

If Brown was the LSU coach when Wade was hired and performed the way he did his first 5 years, he would have been run out of town 2 years ago.

I was in Philadelphia in ‘81.

It is well documented on the cheating that happened with Brown and yet he GROSSLY UNDERPERFORMED.

He let a number 13 seed Navy team with David Robinson beat the crap out of all of those “all Americans in the ROUND OF 64 as a 4 seed in ‘85.

Can you fricking imagine what it would be like on here if that happened today?

When you want to discuss everything LSU basketball from the 80’s when I had season tickets and attended every freaking game including both the final 4’s.

You want to talk about paying player for nothing? We can. Or how about all of the cars they drove? We can talk about that too.
