2009 Was the year we lost in the Los Angeles Regional to UC Irvine (UCLA won the Regional and Super to go on to Omaha)

Yep. Most fun and most successful are not always synonymous.

The reason the titles dropped off after the 90s is because Skip ran off Pat Henry. Nothing to do with Joe.

The context of my post would tell you it was the 09-10 SEASON.

Okay. I'll buy that. Two things:
1. Alleva could've gone out to get a better track coach, right? All that history and then *nothing*?
2. Let's look at the non-track national championships over time:
For visual summary:
1930s: X (MBB)
1940s: XXXX (boxing, golf)
1950s: XX (football, golf)
1960s:
1970s:
1980s:
1990s: XXXX (baseball)
2000s: XXXX (football, baseball)
2010s: X (golf)
Let's also remember:
- 3 football SEC championships in 2000s compared to 1 in 2010s (blame Alabama as an excuse, I guess?)
- 3 men's basketball SEC championships and 1 Final Four in 2000s compared to 1 SEC champ and 0 Final Fours in 2010s (and I guess Joe gets credit for 1 of those SEC championships in each decade, Johnson's and Wade's)
- 4 women's basketball SEC championships in 2000s and 5 Final Fours in 2000s compared to ZERO / NONE / ZIP in 2010s (blame Pokey and Skip's hiring of Van Chancellor, I guess?)
Gymnastics finally started producing. And softball, while they can't win the conference, did string together a bunch of WCWS trips. Baseball won more conference titles, but only went to CWS 3 times in 2010s compared to 5 in 2000s.
So, maybe it's all just explainable and contextual. Maybe LSU is just content with winning 0-4 non-track championships each decade.

Losing guys like Spears, hill, whitwkrth, niswanger, lavalais and Dorsey was not a fear back then.

You don’t have enough Xs for track and field.
Women’s track and field could be described as one of the most dominating sports in the history of the NCAA from the late 80s to the 2000s.

Read the post. And scroll up and reason previous posts. Would've taken less time than writing your post and hitting submit.
I posted the counts with track in this thread and was responding to another poster who stated that Alleva shouldn't be blamed for low NC numbers because ultimately Skip was responsible for letting Henry leave and any potential future NCs with him.

I would say up until the laste game of 2011 was LSU best years. 2011 is when we peaked. Load at every single position except line backers.

Hate you were there for the loss. Out of all those games. One had to be a bust.
