If it offended one person that might potentially see it or comment on it then woke LSU would have none of it.

Love this video, all those shots are from the ‘09 season leading up to us demolishing them in Omaha.

Not a fan of small ball, however.

Vintage Skip would make this sound like a girl scout cookie meeting.

When I first saw this video a few years ago, I had nothing but absolute respect for him, and envied those players that got to play for that cat.

After the Tigers beat them for the championship in '09, Garrido wrote a personal letter to Mainieri to congratulate him.

Class act and one the great college baseball coaches.

Imagine having drinks and shooting the shite with Augie, Skip & Wayne Graham at the same table.

They don't make them like they used to!

And you can’t take a guy “in his prime” based on a video made several years after

The coaches from Augie and Skips era were just a different breed. It wasn’t about winning baseball games, but about working hard and not laying down when life gets tough, but getting yourself out of adversity. Never give up. They turned boys into men.

It’s still kind of the same today, but it’s more about baseball and getting to the next level. Things and society are just different today. There are a few coaches, like Matt Deggs, where baseball isn’t the most important thing he’s teaching.

He was great at chewing arse...but lost a lot. Of he coached better he wouldn't have to chew arse.

He was 63, 66, or 70 in that video. But we know that someone who is 62 is way too old to coach! People will praise this but forget how old he is in the video. then they’ll talk shite about old people.
There is no way we would ever want to hire someone that old! I mean someone like that who has won three national championships. No way we want to hire someone like that

Wish he could give that speech about getting picked off at first to Morgan. That kid had lead feet in the regional getting back to first base.

If Skip has never come to LSU, Augie would probably the GOAT of college baseball.

They were so similar in the way they coached.

I like his fricking moxie. Everyone of those young men would have ran through a wall for their coach.
