Remembering Skip

I had the opportunity of meeting him several times and attending several of his speaking engagements. To say that he was larger than life would be an understatement......he literally filled the room when he entered. Beloved by everyone he ever met and never encountered a stranger. Without a doubt, he goes down as one of the all time greats at LSU. RIP Coach

I met him a couple times as well. He was a great man. He took the time talk to my son about his baseball season and that made my son feel special.

RIP Coach

I worked on campus when he was AD. One day I had to go get some balls signed by all the coaches. I went to Skip's office first because I was a huge fan and he was available. I walked in and he signed the ball and saw my LSU baseball shirt on and asked if I was a fan. I told him all about my mom and I watching every chance we got and how I remembered celebrating with her when Warren Morris hit THAT home run. He told me to have a seat. About an hour and a half later my boss called asking me if I had left Skip's office yet. We just talked ball and life and shite for 90 minutes. Made my day.

Never met him, but watched him coach LSU baseball in the mid-late 80s. May he rest in peace

One thing I'd love to know more about is that his former players, at team reunions, all say his non public, behind closed doors stories were off the charts X rated.

Spent several summers at his baseball camp in the early nineties. Such a great experience. First class man and a baseball legend. RIP Skip.

I am pretty sure that there has not been any person in the last 50 years that has had more positive influence on the sports programs at LSU than Skip Bertman. His presence will be missed for a long long time.
A prince of a man and a Tiger through and through.
LSU was blessed that he wanted to be a Tiger so many years ago.
RIP Tiger!
