a "decade" can be any 10 year period you want it to be.

referring to the "80's" is clearly referring to the period 1980-1989.

referring to the "new millenium" is clearly, logically referring to the year 2001 and beyond... NOT the year 2000. That was still a part of the last millenium.

we good?

Thats exactly what Im trying to explain to the rantards. It depends on how you define it.. And the majority of LSU fans counted it to the last decade not this one.

ok
1980-1989 is the 80's
1991-1999 is the 90's
2000-2009 is the 00's
year 1-2000 is one millennium
2001- is the next millennium
so what you're saying is that the year 2000 is in the same decade as the year 2001 but a different millennium? ok, now that makes perfect sense

Ok, I'll buy that. I stand corrected. I guess the first "decade" A.D. only had 9 years then.

I guess it's gonna be this way until FB season starts.
