I realize this, yet Pete made LSU basketball exciting and brought attention to the program at a largely football school.

My question was really trying to sort out which era could be referred to as the "golden era". I have been an LSU BB fan for many years yet never considered the program to have such an era. IMO referring to any era of LSU Basketball as the "golden years" is tantamount to calling any period of Vanderbilt football as "golden years". I am hopeful that Johnny Jones can restore a winning program and establish a long period of Final Four competitive teams to establish a "golden era" at LSU.

We didn't have to make the tourney with Pete. I look at basketball as entertainment. Sure I like to win but if we play well I can still enjoy it. The only thing I can't enjoy is the blowouts where we play awful.

Basketball has never been more entertaining then when Pete was out there. When was the last time you have heard terms like magic, showtime and amazing spoken in reference to a basketball game or player?
