2000-2009 were the Best 10 years to be an LSU fan

Prove me wrong. I had so much fun I was also in my late teens and 20s so that had an impact as well. Just a great time all around.
Football 2 National Titles
Basketball- 1 Final 4
Baseball - 2 National Titles
Women Basketball 5 Final 4s
Add on if you can think of more that I missed. Hope to get back to that dominance one day. It was definitely a great time to be a Tiger.

Our track team still had coach Henry and were pumping titles. Softball wasn't bad and gymnastics were solid.

I wanted LSU to play USC so bad in football, but it never happened! I thought for sure they’d meet up during that time.

2000-2009
I started the Fall of 09 fresh off of our CWS win...
Posted on 6/13/19 at 12:26 pm to AustinKnight
I graduated in 5 years
My first fall was 2003 and my last semester was spring 2008 when we won all those baseball games in a row and made it to the CWS
2 NCs in football
1 Final 4
decent baseball
I got spoilt

I'll agree! Maybe I was spoiled as an undergraduate during this time.
A few more details though:
- Football is king, and 2000s was most successful decade for sure.
- 2000s was only decade with 3 Men's Basketball SEC championships.
- Baseball went to CWS once every 2 years on average (5 out of 10 years) in the 2000s—and won titles in 2 of those 5 trips.
- Technically, more total national championships in the 1990s, 19 (baseball and track) compared to 13 (football, baseball, and track), as well as more SEC championships in 1990s, 33 compared to 26. **As AustinKnight pointed out, we only won 1 national title in the 2010s under Alleva.
- Women's Basketball was at an elite level in 2000s, achieving two important firsts: WBB Final Four in 2004 and SEC champions in 2005—but hasn't had an SEC championship or Final Four in the decade since.
- Softball is a little more mixed: first of 2 trips to Women's College World Series in 2000s in contrast with 4 total in 2010s; compare this to 4 SEC season championships and 4 SEC tournament championships (8 total!) in 2000s...and 0 SEC championships in the decade since. So, softball seems to struggle to win conference championships in 2010s but has had more NCAA success than in 2000s.
- Gymnastics was just starting to become elite, reaching its first ever Super Six in 2008.

LSU fell off with national titles once Alleva came on board. Just wanted to be close and not win was his motto. LSU has not won national titles in a decade. Good riddance Alleva
Posted on 6/13/19 at 5:21 pm to AustinKnight
I agree with this and I have been paying close attention for 52 years.

Great times!

Would be nice if Scott Woodard sees this and be on some “hold my beer” shyt!

And that decade won't even come close in comparison to 2019 to 2034. These next 15 years will be beyond anything we can imagine! And not just LSU, Saints and Pelicans as well!
