Congrats to Skip Bertman on A & M's Double National Title

Thank Skip's ego and penny pinching expertise for running off Pat Henry.

Running off, nice play on words.
Agreed too. Great freaking coach.

If you know the whole story you'd realize you're a douche. Skip ran a business, and as a business decision refused to be strong armed by Henry.
And let me ask you, how much money is the A&M double worth? Was a double like that at LSU a financial windfall? Was it worth not putting the $ into improving Tiger Stadium and into the track facility? I mean c'mon if Skip was only bout himself why did football and basketball get improvements before baseball?
Nice attack on a guy who made us money and always won.

although I do not agree with some of the things Skip has done, you can thank HIM for enjoying the CWS tonight at 6ET

Max is working on a major story that will blow the lid off the ineptitude, sinister plots and bbq'd hot dogs that are sending LSU athletics to the trash bin of history...it will be mind boggling, stay tuned

skip is about the all mighty dollar, as are most AD's. But, his loyalty to the dollar compared to fan interests, winning traditions, etc seems MUCH greater than most.
Losing Henry was a terrible move.

yeah that was the choice
Get your nose out of Skip's arse for just a second. quote:

TAF
If Skip were only about himself he would've hired his replacement based on which coach was willing to pay him six figures for his baseball camp.....oh wait nevermind.

manieri was a good hire.
we can also thank Skip for using the good old boy network (Smoke) to nearly derail the program.
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:14 pm to Maximus
And as AD FIRED the guy he hired to replace him.
Dude ran a business.
Oh, and the next guy he hired has his team in Omaha, again.

Skip is the best thing to happen to LSU athletics in the modern era. Those who can't see that are blind. LSU fans can never repay Bertman for what he has done for our athletic department.
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:19 pm to LSU92
so every decision he has ever made is perfect?
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:32 pm to el tigre
Nobody is perfect, but his excellence does not come along very often. It's a standard that has not often been seen at LSU. All you have to do is review Joe Dean's record to know the value of Skip.
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:33 pm to el tigre
No. But if his biggest mistake is allowing a coach of a non-revenue sport, and no matter how successful Henry was T&F made no money, walk because they didn't bend to his demands, then he was successful. And that's what matters.

if you are gonna play this card, you also need to fault skip for almost derailing what might be considered the best team sports program in all of college sports
skip was a terrible AD
he was a PHENOMENAL fundraiser and should probably be running taf
there is a HUGE difference, and the people who are getting butthurt over maxs comments obviously fail to see the difference in the two
losing henry was just terrible
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:48 pm to Ron Mexico
If Skip was a terrible AD, could you please share with me your opinion of the Joe Dean era.
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:52 pm to LSU92
So if Hitler is mean that would mean Stalin must have been a sweet heart right?

where in any part of my post did i say shite about joe dean
Posted on 6/13/09 at 2:57 pm to Maximus
Did Skip commit a crime or kill somebody? Did his teams lose too much while he was AD? Let me know, i want to know what you think. Help persuade me to your side.
