I don't remember Booty being part of a National Championship caliber team.
What Booty did cost us was the opportunity to sign two outstanding college quarterbacks.
Out of high school, Booty was #1 nationally and Peyton Manning was #2. After Booty comitted to LSU, Peyton dropped us. I'm not saying we would have signed him, but he did state that was the reason for dropping LSU.
Jump ahead 4 years and Booty is attempting to get out of his baseball contract in order to play football at LSU. One of the top quarterbacks in the nation is considering LSU? Who might that be? That's right, it's Eli Manning. Once Booty got out of his baseball contract and stated that he was coming to LSU to play football, Eli dropped us.
Now I don't think we would have been a championship team even with Peyton Manning during that time period, but with the team we had while Eli was in college, it wouldn't have been fair if we had him quarterbacking for us. 2-3 championships easily.

The RP fiasco was more crippling than anything Booty ever did to LSU.
Short term memory loss? Or just too young to know better?

So was that really Booty's fault, or was it the coaching staff? Dinardo could have told Booty "no thanks" and taken Eli instead (though I honestly believe that Eli had no intention of going to LSU). I would tend to believe that Dinardo set the program back moreso than Booty.

Peyton manning and Eli were NEVER coming to LSU regardless of what quarterbacks we had on the team. You're kidding yourself if you really think there was a chance. Just because Eli attended one of our summer camps doesn't mean he ever considered LSU. Their dad is an Ole Miss legend, do you really think his sons would attend LSU?
