[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1409626, member: 586845"] I am honestly not sure why you continue to argue this point. My entire point is that the era between your two golden eras is not even that bad, and is lightyears ahead of the post-Dee era. In the 10 year between your golden eras (I'll dub it the interregnum, between the reigns of King Henson and King Self, though this does still include some Henson), we still went to 6 NCAA tournaments and had 2 of the remaining 3 MCDAAs (and in a shorter time frame than the current dark ages). My only point is that we really had almost 30 years of sustained success and the talent level was undoubtedly higher (as well as the coaching level) during that entire era. You can remove the interregnum from your calculations or include it, but it doesn't really change the core point, and I honestly think leaving it in there makes your core point stronger (and more depressing). Honestly, I am done arguing this. It's rather pointless. If you wish to only consider the golden eras as part of the good years, that is your prerogative. It doesn't alter the conclusion. [/QUOTE]
