Why are they interviewing a parent of a player to talk LSU baseball?

Now, I'd be thrilled to hear Kim Mulkey talk about LSU women's basketball.

I hope one day soon she has cause to do so.

For the record, I read your post in the voice of Will Ferrell/Ashley Shaffer!

Probably, but I'd take her over the criminal bitch that is about to be the next part of slow erosion of a great country.

Don't get on her bad side:

quote:

Mulkey and her father haven’t spoken in 25 years.

The daughter felt betrayed when her father and mother divorced. Daughter invited father and his new wife to her 1987 wedding to Randy Robertson. There was a disagreement where the new wife would sit during the ceremony. The bride was determined that it wouldn’t be with the wedding party.

Father didn’t attend the wedding. A final plea, a registered letter written and sent by Robertson didn’t solicit a response. Kim Mulkey walked down the aisle alone.
Grandfather has never met his grandchildren.

“I had no control of the situation when he chose to break up our family,” Mulkey said. “But I could control my wedding day. It was my day. He should have respected my wishes. He should have been there for me.”

Family life

From that wedding day through the championship season, she was Kim Mulkey Robertson. She met Randy at Louisiana Tech. He was a former quarterback who worked at the school.

McKenzie was born in 1991, just before Mulkey’s seventh season as an assistant coach. Kramer arrived in 1994.

“I never expected to have kids,” Mulkey said. “When I got pregnant, there was no glow. I was in a depression. I asked myself, ‘How am I going to work?’ ’’

It was Tennessee’s Summitt who advised Mulkey her priorities would change.

“You will never neglect your children,” Summitt declared. “You will neglect your job for your children.”

The first time the assistant coach held her daughter in her arms, she knew Summitt had spoken the truth.

Mother took both babies on recruiting trips. She breast fed them between, before and after games.

When they got older, she tried never to miss their school activities. Private jets became a convenient umbilical cord between mother and children.

But her marriage soured. She had no control when Randy Robertson told her he was moving out of their home in January 2006. Their relationship withered at the start of what should have been a celebratory season in the wake of winning the national championship. Finally, they visited a marriage counselor in Dallas.
Mulkey told the counselor and her husband she would give up coaching and walk away from Baylor basketball if it might save the marriage.

“Anyone who really knows me won’t be surprised that I would have given up my job,” she said. “Marriage vows say in good times and bad. That’s why the divorce is the most devastating thing to happen in my life.”

Since the divorce, Mulkey hasn’t talked to her former husband, who runs a public relations business in Waco, except to exchange perfunctory potential emergency information about the children. Still, father remains close to his children.

Surely, Robertson must have at least suspected he would have no relationship with his ex-wife. In an exchange of emails, his preferred way of answering questions, Robertson wrote about the post-break relationship: “Life is full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. Most people understand that good communication is a key ingredient to successful relationships.”

The woman fascinates me. Four State Championships in HS...Valedictorian with 4.0 GPA Two National Championships at La Tech capped off by winning a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics. Two National Championships as Head Coach at Baylor, and now she gets to watch her All-American son play baseball at LSU. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold. Ridiculous!


As impressive as it gets!

If the Tigers make it to Omaha, I hope that she shows up sporting the old double braids from her playing days at Tech.

If the Tigers had the Rally Possum AND the Mulkey Double Braids in the stands, they would be unstopable.
