Some type of NIL Fund in his honor

Or something really cool would be for Marucci to come out with a new Bat style called the Bertman and some of the proceeds would go to the LSU players or Program

He would want the Program to always be the PowerHouse and we should do everything we can to make that happen.

His seat at the box should be commemorated & respectfully left empty forever, never to be sat in again

How this board works is to give him #5.

Not that I don’t want to further honor him, but I think he’s a great example of being honored before being memorialized.

Don't let anyone ever wear his #15 again unless it is another Paul Skeenes being recruited.

Black jerseys for midweek games this season is the obvious answer.

I'm joking, but please downvote me to oblivion anyway.

Retire #5 in his honor. Just kidding. The guy is a legend. We already have statues and his name hung. Anything they think of is appropriate. He is that big of a part of LSU.

Put 15 on every field and court for this year.

A 15 patch on every jersey.

All the game baseballs used at Alex Box have his signature and #15 on them

For a while now I’ve thought LSU should host ab early season tournament.

Too bad we no longer have the Winn Dixie Showdown. It could be the Skip Bertman Showdown

If we’re being honest, Omaha should definitely have some type of permanent tribute/memorial. The CWS wouldn’t even be close to what it is without Skip.

How about This:

Home football game #2 to symbolize the "Marble" game

Tiger Bamd forms SKIP & perform Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Every baseball alum present holding on to a single rope as long as needed

Manieri, Jay & Smoke release 15 purple and gold balloons into the Tiger sky

the roar of 102,000 fans seemed to begin from deep in the belly of the ancient edifice, growing as each section joined in like the " Wave" the rhythmic chant Skip, Skip, Skip as the Tiger nation gave its heartfelt tribute to the man who brought such pride and honor to the university and the state.
