[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1409469, member: 586845"] You are underselling our level of success. I'd argue that we were eminently successful (using the metric of tournament appearances) basically since year 6 of Lou Henson, which was '80-'81, through Weber's tenure. Starting in '80-'81 and going through '11-'12, we had 32 seasons and made 24 tournaments. That is 3 out of every 4 years for 32 years. That is pretty sustained success for much longer than you suggest. It also makes these last 6ish years even more depressing. I can't say we always had better talent in each of those 32 years, but I think it's kind of a no-brainer that, on average, our talent level was better. [/QUOTE]
