Remind me again ... what was LSU supposed to do to "keep" him?

Bertman didn't put up much of a fight at all. Just bent over and took it dry from Huizenga. Let him fly into BR multiple times and sweep Little Debbie off his feet. Hell, at least offer the guy a much bigger raise or something. I remember him saying that he wasn't going to get into a bidding war with the Dolphins/Huizenga. I think he offered Nick a little more money, but not enough to make a difference. I just think he didn't want to deal with Saban's ego and finally said "Frick It." I'm sure he thought he could find another Saban out there, that was easier to deal with and for a cheaper price. I distinctly remember him saying after the hire, that Miles was going to be another Nick Saban. Hindsight is 20-20, huh?.

BTW, everybody have fun in the sunlight today. As a militant traditionalist, I have a personal moratorium against attending day games in Tiger Stadium. Just not the same atmosphere during the day, no matter how "Big" the game.......
