re: I'm happy people are upset about MBB

Were you alive during Dale's tenure? If you were you know for a fact it was huge at LSU. As I've stated, it was BIGGER THAN FOOTBALL at LSU for virtually all of the 1980s.

Of course a lot of that had to do with football being average+ for that decade, and basketball being nationally relevant in that same span.

We had STUDS coming in the next year's recruiting class yearly under Dale (Wade was building this same situation when he was here. In fact, he MURDERS Dale's performance when you compare each coach's first 5 years). We were preseason top 10-20 (and even higher) REGULARLY then. In 1990, LSU was preseason #1 in basketball. We made 2 final fours. Basketball was huge at LSU. You will see this once more if we ever hire AND KEEP the right coach.
