Actually Dale is the reason it sucks now. Remember that whole probation thing surrounding Lester Earl? That was Dale's doing

Uh no. That would be like saying our football team sucked now because of Curly Hallman in 1993 (of course our football team doesn't suck....this is just an example).

The excitement for LSU basketball from the early 70's to about 1993 was palpable. Dale created the entire thing. If, and I emphasize IF, Dale was responsible for a downturn in enthusiasm due to probation, you can't hold that against him almost 20 years and two coaches later. We've been to the final 4 since then so I think we've recovered from Dale.

The problem with the basketball program now belongs to the people that control it now.
