2:03
Speaker 6: my weekend here in a minute, though. But it's been

2:35
Speaker 6: seven seven.
2:37
Speaker 1: Six Or do I not currently have a pulse?
2:41
Speaker 6: I think Jackson Meadows is asking himself that on a Monday,
2:44
Speaker 6: He's like, did I really have to get out of
2:46
Speaker 6: bed and do this? And uh, this is what he
2:50
Speaker 6: was thinking on the way up fifty five?
2:53
Speaker 1: Or do I not currently have a pulse?
2:55
Speaker 6: The text line six eight eight, five, three, seven, seven
3:00
Speaker 6: and six. We need an out of bounds role call?
3:02
Speaker 6: How are you listening? Where are you listening from, and
3:05
Speaker 6: yes we're gonna talk skip Bertman passing away legendary LSU
3:10
Speaker 6: baseball coach Jayden Daniels and the the riff between Jaden
3:17
Speaker 6: and LSU now and the fact that they're letting a
3:21
Speaker 6: dB where number five and how that all came about. Well,
3:26
Speaker 6: just say, it's crazy that LSU is the two lead
3:29
Speaker 6: stories in a state with two SEC teams. But and
3:32
Speaker 6: there's plenty to get to with with ole Miss football
3:34
Speaker 6: and Misissippi State football too. But skip Bertman apps, you know,
3:39
Speaker 6: best coach in the history of the SEC by million
3:41
Speaker 6: miles in baseball. And this is what you know. This
3:47
Speaker 6: is what skip Bertman would say. That's it right there.
3:51
Speaker 6: I mean he believed in winning championships. We need an
3:55
Speaker 6: out of bounds role call again, how are you listening?
3:59
Speaker 6: Where you listening from? Hopefully you're in the shower or something. Uh,
4:03
Speaker 6: maybe with your significant other. But the text line six
4:06
Speaker 6: oh one eight eight five three seven seven six find
4:12
Speaker 6: us on X at bow bounds.
4:14
Speaker 1: That's Alabama arrogance Vanderbilt trophy cap.
4:17
Speaker 6: And the michelob Ultra collar line is six oh one
4:21
Speaker 6: seven zero seven thirty seven fifty. So yeah, I had
4:28
Speaker 6: a good trip to the beach. We went to Destin
4:30
Speaker 6: for a couple of days. Wendy, Uh, Wendy made me
4:33
Speaker 6: do it. She was like, you didn't take a vacation
4:35
Speaker 6: all summer, Uh, going to Washington, DC and moving moving
4:39
Speaker 6: a kid, moving another kid out of state. Not that
4:43
Speaker 6: I'm doing more than you, but you know, just didn't
4:46
Speaker 6: get to maybe get a little R and R before
4:48
Speaker 6: Jackson and I go. I mean, it's really just get
4:53
Speaker 6: on the four thousand pound bull here next week and uh,
4:58
Speaker 6: all the way until you know, December twentieth, which is
5:01
Speaker 6: fun too. I mean, it's going to be such a
5:03
Speaker 6: wild ride, and we don't know what's going to play
5:06
Speaker 6: out and who's going to win, and who's going to
5:10
Speaker 6: be good and who's gonna not gonna be good. Well,
5:13
Speaker 6: maybe we do know some teams that are not going
5:16
Speaker 6: to be good, but there's going to be so much
5:18
Speaker 6: up and down. I think the league's going to be
5:19
Speaker 6: even more watered down than it has been the last
5:22
Speaker 6: two years. And we've never seen anything like this in
5:24
Speaker 6: the modern era. So I can't wait. I think Saturdays
5:28
Speaker 6: are going to give you pandemonium. We've claimed that in
5:32
Speaker 6: college football but really didn't have that right. For decades,
5:36
Speaker 6: you just had the best teams the best teams most
5:38
Speaker 6: of the time. And now I don't know if you
5:41
Speaker 6: have twenty teams that can win it. I mean Indiana
5:44
Speaker 6: won it last year with the composite recruiting in the
5:48
Speaker 6: mid thirties. What they didn't spend near as much as
5:53
Speaker 6: other teams. But it's all about money in nil where
5:58
Speaker 6: is it? I mean, yes, that is that is a
6:00
Speaker 6: piece of the puzzle. Without a doubt. They didn't come
6:03
Speaker 6: close to spending as much money as other teams. Anyway,
6:07
Speaker 6: back to my trip, because we're about to get on
6:11
Speaker 6: this jet and fly and have fun, we went to
6:17
Speaker 6: the beach. So we went to Deston. I've told this
6:20
Speaker 6: story like seven years eight years ago. You know, you
6:24
Speaker 6: go through different stages and phases, so you got you
6:28
Speaker 6: don't have to, but you do. First week with your kids,
6:32
Speaker 6: and first week went from holiday is when I was
6:35
Speaker 6: a kid to thirty a with my kids. And I
6:38
Speaker 6: had one of my two kids who just fell in
6:40
Speaker 6: love with it. You know, Wilkes thought was the greatest
6:43
Speaker 6: thing ever Elle Hall take it or leave it, And
6:46
Speaker 6: so we made that run and thirty as amazing. First
6:50
Speaker 6: week it's not, but thirty aays amazing. And so then
6:55
Speaker 6: we started going back to Deston Proper or whatever, right
7:00
Speaker 6: old Deston and fell in love with that. And so
7:04
Speaker 6: we went down, stayed right there by rus Chris's and
7:09
Speaker 6: went twice. Had a great time the East Bar. It's
7:15
Speaker 6: like a carnival on steroids. So many people from so
7:19
Speaker 6: many you know, walks of life. It's just it's one
7:22
Speaker 6: of the greatest people watching places in the in the southeast.
7:28
Speaker 6: But yeah, so we hit Destined for for a few
7:31
Speaker 6: days it y'all, and I wish everybody has amazing trips.
7:38
Speaker 6: But the weather was great. We had an unbelievable breeze
7:42
Speaker 6: off off the Gulf. The water was blue green, no jellyfish,
7:48
Speaker 6: no seaweed. It was incredible. And there was eighty plus
7:53
Speaker 6: percent less people than just a couple of weeks ago.
7:56
Speaker 6: It was fabulous. I mean, you know, it was. It
8:01
Speaker 6: was a ton of fun. So oh, we found a
8:03
Speaker 6: place called Chow Pizza. So it has the best reviews
8:09
Speaker 6: in DestinE Proper, none of the pizza up and Down
8:14
Speaker 6: thirty it's got to be the best pizza in that
8:16
Speaker 6: in that will House of Destines and Destined thirty eight. Anyway,
8:20
Speaker 6: we found it and they make everything fresh, like every
8:24
Speaker 6: pizza's made fresh there on site. I mean obviously at
8:30
Speaker 6: the restaurant, but with I mean they make their own
8:33
Speaker 6: red sauce.
8:34
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal.
8:37
Speaker 6: As someone with Italian blood and who's part of the mafia, Jackson,
8:41
Speaker 6: you would have loved it. By the way, I sent
8:43
Speaker 6: you a gift card from Taste Italian Kitchen yesterday, so yeah,
8:47
Speaker 6: we catch it.
8:48
Speaker 1: Okay, good.
8:49
Speaker 6: I wanted you to get something, whether it was the
8:52
Speaker 6: wood fired pizza from Taste, or the bolon aise or
8:55
Speaker 6: the shrimp scampy or the calamari or the oh the
8:57
Speaker 6: fried ravioli.
8:58
Speaker 1: God.
9:00
Speaker 6: Anyway, their big outdoor area is opening today. I will
9:04
Speaker 6: be there at four o'clock. We hope to see you.
9:07
Speaker 6: That mega meg. I'm not gonna say what they spent,
9:10
Speaker 6: but there's nothing like it in the state of Mississippi.
9:12
Speaker 6: It's basically another restaurant and bar outside connected to Taste
9:16
Speaker 6: Italian Kitchen and the Renaissance. It opens this afternoon. Are
9:19
Speaker 6: we taking a break? Okay, I'll continue running my mouth
9:23
Speaker 6: about a combination of football and the amazing trip that
9:26
Speaker 6: Wendy and I had.
9:29
Speaker 1: We just had a great time.
9:32
Speaker 6: I mean we were able to get our chairs and
9:34
Speaker 6: our umbrell and nobody was beside us.
9:36
Speaker 1: It was incredible, you know, and it's still August like,
9:43
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it was. It was great.
9:45
Speaker 6: And you know something, I'll tell you something else that
9:47
Speaker 6: I think will surprise you on the other side. Good morning,
9:50
Speaker 6: welcome in. We're powered by Pearl River Resort.
10:10
Speaker 1: Lord.

Speaker 5: What's the big boy, guys, I don't have time for
10:34
Speaker 5: that speculation.
10:37

10:45
Speaker 1: The Zone Oh, brought.
10:48
Speaker 6: To you by all the crazy people at the East
10:50
Speaker 6: Bar at Rusy Chris's.
10:52
Speaker 1: And there's just not a it's just wild. It's wild.
10:59
Speaker 6: It's Indian and I just had a great time and
11:02
Speaker 6: laughed and.
11:04
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
11:06
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a joke to me.
11:07
Speaker 1: Well me too, but it's crazy, absolutely crazy, and I
11:13
Speaker 1: love it. You know.
11:14
Speaker 6: I was taking a walk one morning down the beach
11:20
Speaker 6: and the back porch was, you know, one hundred yards
11:25
Speaker 6: from us, maybe two hundred. I'd never thought about it,
11:29
Speaker 6: you know. When I started going as a kid, you
11:31
Speaker 6: just went to places. I mean, right, you don't you
11:34
Speaker 6: didn't ever think when you're a kid, you just you
11:36
Speaker 6: get you get taken there by your parents or friends' parents.
11:42
Speaker 6: Do you realize that the back Porch opened in nineteen
11:45
Speaker 6: seventy four. Can you imagine how desolate or just rustic
11:53
Speaker 6: and rural destined was I mean, hell, it was like
11:55
Speaker 6: that in the eighties when we thought it was big
11:58
Speaker 6: living and big pimping. But you know, I mean we
12:01
Speaker 6: thought Holiday I was the Ritz Carlton, but I mean
12:04
Speaker 6: it was just the redneck rivie era, And so can
12:08
Speaker 6: you imagine what that family thought, Hey, we're going to
12:13
Speaker 6: hang a shingle here in nineteen seventy four.
12:17
Speaker 1: We're gonna hang a shingle.
12:18
Speaker 6: There's not one condo around us, no hotels, and we're
12:24
Speaker 6: going to see how this bad boy plays out. Now,
12:29
Speaker 6: they eventually sold, but and it's still packed. So I
12:33
Speaker 6: dove in there one afternoon. You know, I've told you
12:35
Speaker 6: all this. You know, I have to talk to myself
12:38
Speaker 6: and walk around when he's like, why don't you go
12:40
Speaker 6: walk or do something, meet somebody, cause she's just fine,
12:44
Speaker 6: you know, underneath the umbrella outside of it, you know,
12:46
Speaker 6: laying out and uh, and so one afternoon I go
12:53
Speaker 6: down there and I just kind of wanted to see
12:56
Speaker 6: what that was like. And that's a total s show
12:58
Speaker 6: too about people Watch. So I just sat at the bar,
13:01
Speaker 6: had a michelob ultra. You can see, you know, you
13:03
Speaker 6: can almost touch the ocean, and uh, that place is
13:07
Speaker 6: still doing in Like there were eighty percent less people
13:14
Speaker 6: there this past week weekend when we were there. Can
13:20
Speaker 6: you imagine what that was like just three, five, six,
13:22
Speaker 6: seven weeks ago. I mean the place was busy. I
13:26
Speaker 6: mean it wasn't not every table was taken like it
13:28
Speaker 6: would be like on July twelfth or June fifteenth.
13:32
Speaker 1: But holy Mary Olza go aleeah. I had fun. We
13:37
Speaker 1: had a great time.
13:40
Speaker 6: But I do for those of you who either have
13:43
Speaker 6: a place or go down there during the fall, and
13:45
Speaker 6: I know October is the best month by far and away,
13:51
Speaker 6: and then a lot of times that bleeds into November.
13:53
Speaker 6: But I would I would reckon. I would I recommend
13:57
Speaker 6: chow pizza. I know that sounds crazy maybe in DestinE,
13:59
Speaker 6: but it's fabulous. Oh we gotta what do we get
14:03
Speaker 6: from there? We got the pizza, I got a tear
14:07
Speaker 6: my suit. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that was good too.
14:10
Speaker 6: You'd have been proud of me.
14:11
Speaker 1: This place looks wow, it looks so good. Chow.
14:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, it's it's in a strip mall, which doesn't
14:19
Speaker 6: make sense. It's like Big Fish at Orange Beach. It
14:21
Speaker 6: didn't make sense that it's good, right, Okay, but when
14:24
Speaker 6: you do find something like that, you're like, you walk
14:28
Speaker 6: in it's it's it's.
14:30
Speaker 1: Right across the street from Ruce Christmas.
14:32
Speaker 6: Okay, so you could get a golf club out and
14:34
Speaker 6: hit a nine iron to it. It's really really cool.
14:41
Speaker 6: But the pe it's everything's fresh, it's so it's just great.
14:44
Speaker 1: It's fabulous. One of the best pizzas I've ever had
14:47
Speaker 1: in my life. Really, Yes, yes, pizzas of musk when
14:52
Speaker 1: you're at the Beach.
14:53
Speaker 6: I don't know why that is. I mean I I
14:56
Speaker 6: don't I don't know why that is it is. But
14:59
Speaker 6: I mean not well, you know, Domino's Pub, John's or
15:03
Speaker 6: the other one, uh whatever, pizza hut, but uh not
15:07
Speaker 6: that I haven't eaten a million of those slices. But man,
15:12
Speaker 6: it was good and we had a great time. Yes
15:17
Speaker 6: it was. And then the the the sandbar was was perfect.
15:22
Speaker 6: It was just you know, oh you know what I
15:24
Speaker 6: was going to tell you that we didn't see like that.
15:27
Speaker 6: You always, I don't know what was going on.
15:29
Speaker 1: This is weird.
15:31
Speaker 6: I didn't see a bunch of SEC teams REP being repped.
15:36
Speaker 6: You're you always see that in Orange Beach, Destin Sand
15:39
Speaker 6: Destin thirty eight always you always see m SU all
15:44
Speaker 6: Miss Auburn, Obama, LSU, among others. I did not see
15:49
Speaker 6: SEC gear. It was kind of weird. Maybe they're just
15:53
Speaker 6: and I didn't see. It's not like I saw Big
15:55
Speaker 6: ten gear or a CC now I did. I do
15:59
Speaker 6: know this. There were still some kids there and parents. Okay,
16:04
Speaker 6: like you know, there were kids that were four, six, eight.
16:07
Speaker 6: I don't know what state they were tied to to
16:10
Speaker 6: not because they're obviously not in school yet. Okay, we
16:14
Speaker 6: went back, you know, I think most of the surrounding
16:17
Speaker 6: states went back. But again I don't keep up with
16:19
Speaker 6: anymore because I don't have anybody in K through twelve
16:22
Speaker 6: and so on. But I don't I don't know who
16:28
Speaker 6: that like, where they're from. But they were having a
16:32
Speaker 6: good time, so it was it was all good. But
16:35
Speaker 6: I'm going to tell you, man, when you can go
16:37
Speaker 6: to the beach and get chairs and an umbrella and
16:40
Speaker 6: nobody's near you. It's a beautiful thing, it really is.
16:45
Speaker 6: So we stayed in a great place and I'm I've
16:49
Speaker 6: always been in love with it. But I'm all in
16:52
Speaker 6: on destin proper now when our friends go to thirty
16:56
Speaker 6: eight or wherever, I'm good, but I'm in. But man,
17:00
Speaker 6: it's it's just something about it. I almost thought about
17:04
Speaker 6: walking all the way from the back porch to Holiday Al,
17:09
Speaker 6: but that's a hike, just to see if I could
17:12
Speaker 6: do it. But I would have needed to like uh,
17:16
Speaker 6: water bottle up and like I didn't have any kind
17:19
Speaker 6: of I didn't pack like that. I mean, I knew
17:21
Speaker 6: I was going to be having michelob Alter's and you
17:25
Speaker 6: know whatever apparol sprints is or whatever the hell they
17:28
Speaker 6: had at the sandbar right beside us. But you know,
17:32
Speaker 6: Wendy's parents would walk it every morning her growing up,
17:36
Speaker 6: from Holiday Al down to the back porch at breakfast
17:39
Speaker 6: in back right, they did did it for years. That's
17:42
Speaker 6: some serious exercise. That's some exercise because you're walking in
17:45
Speaker 6: the sand. Yeah, I mean that's three miles round through okay,
17:49
Speaker 6: in the sand, which is different than just walking on
17:53
Speaker 6: no doubt, a sidewalk. Yeah, yeah, way harder. Yeah, so
17:59
Speaker 6: I'd debated it, but I didn't. I was in debation.
18:04
Speaker 6: And then not in debation. That was from somebody I
18:07
Speaker 6: knew in college. I say that all the time. This
18:10
Speaker 6: guy would be in debation on where he was going
18:13
Speaker 6: to go for a happy hour, and that awesome. He
18:16
Speaker 6: made up a word, which I'm okay with, good word,
18:20
Speaker 6: and he was in debation on where he was going
18:23
Speaker 6: to go to happy hour?
18:25
Speaker 1: So did he make the right choice?
18:28
Speaker 4: Oh?
18:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well is there really a bad all?
18:31
Speaker 2: Right?
18:31
Speaker 6: So I think about this when you and I were
18:33
Speaker 6: in college, I mean, not the same time, But is
18:36
Speaker 6: there is there anything better than meet and buddies for
18:39
Speaker 6: a happy hour in an sec town when you when
18:42
Speaker 6: you go to that school Mississippi State, Ole, miss wherever?
18:45
Speaker 6: Is there anything better than finding your spot with an
18:48
Speaker 6: ice cold beer, knowing that's some fried cheese or fried
18:51
Speaker 6: pickles or whatever, or some nachos are on the way.
18:55
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good feel. I mean, the good times
18:56
Speaker 1: are rolling, they are, yeah, until they roll a little
18:59
Speaker 1: too long.
18:59
Speaker 6: And well I get that. I get that. That's what
19:04
Speaker 6: it's for, right, no doubt about it. Who created the
19:10
Speaker 6: concept of happy Hour. Well, we can find that out
19:13
Speaker 6: and we owe them. So did that start? Do we
19:15
Speaker 6: think that started in Europe? Or did it start in America?
19:20
Speaker 6: Or did it start? I think we're taking a break.
19:26
Speaker 6: That theme must be messed up.
19:29

Speaker 6: We will discuss Ben McDonald's post over the weekend. That'll
19:49

Speaker 6: this around. And I know I'm about to talk about
21:20
Speaker 6: a big time figure outside of the state of Mississippi,
21:24
Speaker 6: but he was tied in to the state because LSU
21:28
Speaker 6: played Mississippi State and Old Miss all the time. And
21:32
Speaker 6: in skip Bertman, you know, was the architect of UH,
21:36
Speaker 6: the one and only dynasty in SEC baseball. I guess
21:40
Speaker 6: Corbin came close in the modern era, or you could
21:44
Speaker 6: argue did and a much more difficult time. Not taking
21:48
Speaker 6: anything away from the late great UH skip Bertman out
21:53

21:56

Speaker 6: So great trip to Deston right before football seed and
24:01
Speaker 6: that was a ton of fun. I'll continue to talk
24:03
Speaker 6: about that. I've always been in love with Destin proper,
24:08
Speaker 6: but even more so now. It's just fantastic. And the
24:12
Speaker 6: people watching and everything else is great. And I'll be honest,
24:15
Speaker 6: I mean, when you get to go down just the
24:18
Speaker 6: two of you, that's nice. You don't have to worry
24:21
Speaker 6: about anything anybody. Sometimes you do your own thing, you know,
24:26
Speaker 6: but you have to carry a bunch of stuff to
24:28
Speaker 6: the beach. You don't have to do this or that.
24:30
Speaker 6: You eat when you want, you have what you want
24:32
Speaker 6: and so on. So it was fabulous and the weather
24:35
Speaker 6: was great too. I hope you've had a good trip
24:37
Speaker 6: or two or three over the summer. And now we
24:40
Speaker 6: get ready for high school football, college football and the NFL.
24:44
Speaker 6: Now we're going to talk a little college baseball here
24:47
Speaker 6: for a second.
24:47
Speaker 1: I grew up on it, so did some of you.
24:50
Speaker 6: I you know, my first memories are nineteen eighty eighty
24:53
Speaker 6: one Bruce Kastoria before skip Bertman had LSU tuned up
24:57
Speaker 6: Ron Polk had Mississippi State tuned up, and that's where,
25:02
Speaker 6: you know, in the seventies the leftfield Lounge or whatever,
25:05
Speaker 6: foul pole to foul pole was born and paulk got
25:09
Speaker 6: rolling and so on, and then skip Bertman takes the
25:14
Speaker 6: job at LSU. Of course, Mike Bianco was skip Bertman's catcher,
25:18
Speaker 6: along with Ben McDonald being the pitcher on that team
25:21
Speaker 6: or teams. And Mike Bianco has been in Mississippi at
25:25
Speaker 6: Ole Miss. It feels like fifty years and we feel
25:27
Speaker 6: like he's going to outlive us all. And yeah, three
25:30
Speaker 6: generations from now, Mike Bianco will still be the head
25:32
Speaker 6: baseball coach at Ole Miss and Elon may be living,
25:37
Speaker 6: you know, on Mars, but Mike will be in Oxford
25:41
Speaker 6: at Swasey coaching baseball. Former LSU catcher, but Bertman was
25:46
Speaker 6: the architect of a dynasty. He took over LSU baseball
25:49
Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty four and he turned it into a
25:51
Speaker 6: national powerhouse. And it's the only dynasty in SEC baseball.
25:57
Speaker 6: He did it through, you know, sheer will and guts
26:02
Speaker 6: and determination, and LSU was not the LSU of today,
26:07
Speaker 6: the absolute and total monster of a top five athletic department,
26:11
Speaker 6: program and brand and everything that's happened to them the
26:14
Speaker 6: last twenty five years since Sabing set foot on campus,
26:17
Speaker 6: and all the great players that they put in the
26:19
Speaker 6: NFL and well even NBA, but MLB too, And so
26:25
Speaker 6: he was the architect with national titles in nineteen ninety one,
26:29
Speaker 6: ninety three, ninety six, ninety seven. In two thousand eleven
26:39
Speaker 6: College World Series appearances, he was eight hundred and seventy
26:43
Speaker 6: and three point thirty. Yeah, and a winning percentage in Omahall.
26:51
Speaker 6: That's still the best in NCAA tournament history.
26:55
Speaker 1: He is a legend.
26:57
Speaker 6: He had no budget nineteen eighty four, eighty six, eighty eight,
27:00
Speaker 6: ninety two, ninety four. We're gonna drop some of this
27:03
Speaker 6: audio coming up. It's pretty funny. He had a hell
27:06
Speaker 6: of a wit about him, super smart, believed in self actualization.
27:10
Speaker 6: He believed that if you visualized it, talked about it,
27:13
Speaker 6: manifested it, then you got there. He talked about it
27:16
Speaker 6: all the time. That's all he talked. We're here to
27:18
Speaker 6: win national championships. We're here to go to Omahall. We're
27:21
Speaker 6: here to go to Omahall and win games. We are
27:25
Speaker 6: the out of bound show ESPN one oh five nine
27:27
Speaker 6: of the zone. We're brought to you by Farm Bureau Insurance.
27:30
Speaker 6: Bundle your auto and home and save with your local
27:33
Speaker 6: Farm Bureau Insurance agent. Auto Home Life powered by Farm

Speaker 6: Bureau Insurance any of the eighty two counties in the
27:40
Speaker 6: state of Mississippi. You can find your local Farm Bureau
27:44
Speaker 6: Insurance agent. Go with the home team. As Jake Mangham
27:48
Speaker 6: likes to tell us, so he basically he took he
27:53
Speaker 6: had he knew he was a promoter too, okay, and
27:58
Speaker 6: Bertman understood the marketing side of it and how important
28:03
Speaker 6: it was. And then he went from dugout to athletic director,
28:09
Speaker 6: which was crazy, and really did a good job there.
28:17
Speaker 6: He was a builder of LSU Baseball and along with
28:21
Speaker 6: Saban on the reboot LSU athletics in the modern era.
28:26
Speaker 1: Is that fair?
28:28
Speaker 6: And so when you know Jo Dene Senior made the
28:32
Speaker 6: higher but Bertman literally five minutes later or something was
28:35
Speaker 6: the athletic director and from there they really connected. Bertman
28:44
Speaker 6: multi you know National championships, Saban, you know the drill.
28:49
Speaker 6: And it's too many players to list. For as far
28:54
Speaker 6: as Major League Baseball, we all know Ben McDonald Todd Walker,
29:00
Speaker 6: many many others, and Jay Johnson is the current coach,
29:04
Speaker 6: but uh Bertman is the legend of college baseball. Okay,
29:10
Speaker 6: he is, and he won a ton of championships. And
29:15
Speaker 6: you felt. I remember in the eighties watching LSU when
29:21
Speaker 6: they started get you know, when they started to get rolling.
29:24
Speaker 6: But by the nineties you knew who the who the
29:26
Speaker 6: beast was. When they would come into your place or
29:30
Speaker 6: you went down to alex Box, you knew they were
29:36
Speaker 6: on another level. They were trained on another level. The
29:40
Speaker 6: whole thing, and their whole deal was winning championships. And
29:48
Speaker 6: and Bertman knocked down five of them. Yeah, and since then,
29:52
Speaker 6: what Manary won one and Jay one two? So post Bertman,
29:59
Speaker 6: Manary with one and Jay with two, that's eight since
30:01
Speaker 6: Bertman took over eight national championships. That's pretty damn good.
30:08
Speaker 6: We've got some audio for you this morning. We'd love
30:10
Speaker 6: to hear if you have a Burtman story, or if
30:13
Speaker 6: you'd like to share some thoughts on this, We'd love
30:16
Speaker 6: to hear from you. Skip Bertman, legendary LSU baseball coach
30:19
Speaker 6: passes away. One of the biggest winners in the history
30:22
Speaker 6: of North American sports, one of the biggest obviously, which
30:25
Speaker 6: makes him one of the biggest in the SEC up
30:28
Speaker 6: there with Paul Bear Bryant, Pat Summit, Nick Saban, you know,
30:32
Speaker 6: among others, Okay, and and Don Staley and others that
30:37
Speaker 6: have knocked down a bunch of championships.
30:42
Speaker 1: But this is Bertman. We'll start with Bertman, the legend.
30:47
Speaker 1: Here we go.
30:49
Speaker 7: And uh boyd I get yelled at. They can be
30:54
Speaker 7: pretty nasty.
30:55
Speaker 1: What would they say? What would they say mean to
30:57
Speaker 1: a nice guy like you?
30:58
Speaker 7: Well, one of the things like I'm walking out well here,
31:01
Speaker 7: one of the.
31:01
Speaker 1: Things was you want to name the school.
31:03
Speaker 7: Well, in this case, I have to. Okay, I go
31:06
Speaker 7: down to two Lane and this is a long time ago,
31:09
Speaker 7: and Barry Manual was pitching, so it had to be
31:12
Speaker 7: you know, nineteen eighty six or eighty seven, and big
31:16
Speaker 7: crowds like there always are wherever we go.
31:19
Speaker 4: Well, my daughter.
31:22
Speaker 7: Lisa is attending two Lane at the time, so it's
31:26
Speaker 7: very very difficult for her and a coach at that time,
31:30
Speaker 7: Joe Brocko, was very nice and got some seats for
31:32
Speaker 7: my wife because they were very hard on some other people,
31:35
Speaker 7: very hard to get seats.
31:36
Speaker 4: And I'm walking out.
31:37
Speaker 7: The change Manual in the ninth and I come back
31:42
Speaker 7: and I hear all of these things, you know, Bertram,
31:45
Speaker 7: you idiot, and all of these things. But what catches
31:48
Speaker 7: my attention is a big white poster board side and
31:53
Speaker 7: it says, even skips Kid doesn't go to LSU.
32:00
Speaker 1: That was I thought it was pretty good. That is
32:02
Speaker 1: going to give them that one.
32:04
Speaker 7: The only one I really I hear a lot is
32:06
Speaker 7: when I walk to them ount, I.
32:07
Speaker 4: Hear quack quack. Well, I walk like a dunk lee.
32:14
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, people, people, you.
32:18
Speaker 1: Walk a hell of a lot better than you used
32:19
Speaker 1: to because you got new hips.
32:20
Speaker 7: Hey for a guy, uh some new hips. I meet
32:23
Speaker 7: a lot of people, and for all the brothers and
32:26
Speaker 7: sisters of the hip out there. No, I tell you
32:38
Speaker 7: what people ask me all the time. When should I
32:40
Speaker 7: do it?
32:40
Speaker 1: What should I do?
32:41
Speaker 7: People got me peple I don't even know call all
32:43
Speaker 7: the time.
32:44
Speaker 1: And since you like that one, that's good. That's fine.
32:53
Speaker 1: I mean, anyway, it's all right.
32:55
Speaker 6: Anyway, you had both hips replaced the first morning around nineteen.
32:59
Speaker 7: Nineteen ninety one, and then again in nineteen ninety four.
33:02
Speaker 7: It's worked for me and uh mak about three hundred
33:05
Speaker 7: thousand of those a year more knees being done and.
33:08
Speaker 6: All right, So that was Skip Bertman talking about his
33:12
Speaker 6: child going to Tulane and Tulane giving him all unfiltered.
33:16
Speaker 1: You know what.
33:17
Speaker 6: Uh you know, even Skip Burtman's kids don't go to LSU.
33:22
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah, he he was.
33:24
Speaker 6: You know how we get some of the best quirky
33:26
Speaker 6: personalities in baseball. There's so much downtime that you've got
33:30
Speaker 6: to be a storyteller. You got to be playing pranks
33:33
Speaker 6: or jokes or you know. And back then y'all know this,
33:36
Speaker 6: and again it's overused for me. But in the Russican
33:40
Speaker 6: rule SEC. If you remember in the eighties, damn near
33:45
Speaker 6: walking the dugout in SEC baseball. I mean Bertman would
33:49
Speaker 6: be there wasn't there were no new stadiums. This is
33:52
Speaker 6: a little fence and Bertman could be out. I mean
33:56
Speaker 6: it could be it could be Rotten Polk, it could
33:58
Speaker 6: be Bertman. But Burtman was one to you know, mix
34:01
Speaker 6: it up with the either his it could be his
34:05
Speaker 6: fans or the opposing team fans.
34:08
Speaker 1: That was just Burtman.
34:10
Speaker 6: So I ran into him and start well, and I
34:12
Speaker 6: don't remember what it's either ninety nine or two thousand,
34:16
Speaker 6: and he's walking. Bertman was known for walking in whatever
34:22
Speaker 6: town he was in. He was a walker, right exercise,
34:26
Speaker 6: You're there for a couple of days, depending on the split, right.
34:30
Speaker 6: You know, used to have Friday doubleheader Saturday and then
34:33
Speaker 6: and then somehow, you know, they were able to break
34:36
Speaker 6: it up Friday, Saturday Sunday three game series. Many of
34:39
Speaker 6: y'all remember that that we didn't play three three days
34:44
Speaker 6: over the weekend, and then they changed the format. But
34:47
Speaker 6: I run into Burtman, and I know who he is.
34:50
Speaker 6: And this is at a time, believe it or not,
34:51
Speaker 6: when a lot of people don't. I've been y'all know this.
34:54
Speaker 6: I mean, I grew up on Mississippi State baseball and
34:58
Speaker 6: the he's Wendy and I were finishing grad school. And
35:04
Speaker 6: he's walking through this little neighborhood where we were, where
35:08
Speaker 6: we lived, and I'm talking to I'm assuming they were
35:13
Speaker 6: at the Holiday and Express because we were a Rocks
35:16
Speaker 6: throw there on Highway twelfth in Starvills, So it's kind
35:21
Speaker 6: of nestled back and there's a neighborhood behind it. And
35:26
Speaker 6: I run into him and start talking. He can't believe
35:28
Speaker 6: that I recognize him. Well, games weren't on TV in
35:32
Speaker 6: nineteen nine, you know, and again while college baseball was
35:36
Speaker 6: exploding a little bit, I mean a little bit, it
35:40
Speaker 6: really didn't explode until a good decade or so later
35:43
Speaker 6: as far as the stadiums, the investment, and then of
35:49
Speaker 6: course now the last fives, I don't know how many
35:51
Speaker 6: years you get every single Missoppi, State and o Miss
35:54
Speaker 6: game on the stream, which now we see people's faces more,
35:59
Speaker 6: you know, the drill, right, And I mean, can you
36:02
Speaker 6: imagine if Jake Manglam would have played in nineteen eighty seven,
36:05
Speaker 6: or what if Raffian Will would have played today and
36:09
Speaker 6: you would have watched all fifty six games and been
36:12
Speaker 6: able to see their face, not just have to go
36:15
Speaker 6: to Smith Wills or start Bull or wherever they were playing.
36:19
Speaker 6: So that was like a big deal for me. I
36:22
Speaker 6: thought I'd just met, you know, the second coming when
36:26
Speaker 6: I saw Bertman. But he was the architect of one
36:32
Speaker 6: of the greatest dynasties in all of collegiate athletics, right
36:36
Speaker 6: Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Pat Summit, Nick saban Gino at
36:42
Speaker 6: Yukon Dawn at South Carolina. We could go on and
36:45
Speaker 6: on I think Oklahoma and softball whatever. But Bertman won
36:50
Speaker 6: five national titles in a short period of time in
36:53
Speaker 6: the nineties slash with that last one in two thousand, right,
36:58
Speaker 6: which is credible, and eleven College World Series appearances.
37:06
Speaker 1: What you got there.
37:09
Speaker 6: Just I needed to see it, like laid out the
37:12
Speaker 6: years that he wanted, yeah, to understand the shortness of this.
37:16
Speaker 6: So ninety one to two thousand and he won five
37:21
Speaker 6: and then he went to eleven College World Series which
37:25
Speaker 6: is I mean again, now, A lot of that was
37:29
Speaker 6: the sixteen regionals. You had eight sixteen regionals. Remember we
37:34
Speaker 6: didn't go to the super regionals till ninety nine, so
37:37
Speaker 6: prior to that, it was just eight regionals, six teams,
37:41
Speaker 6: and you played forever double elimination, and you played and
37:45
Speaker 6: played and played and played and played and then played
37:49
Speaker 6: some more. That was just the format. And then someone
37:52
Speaker 6: I don't even know who it was, decided, hey, why
37:54
Speaker 6: don't we go regionals, pare them down to four sixteen
37:58
Speaker 6: to four fourteen regionals, and then we'll do sixteen supers
38:02
Speaker 6: and then we'll do Omaha, which has which has been
38:06
Speaker 6: awesome for college baseball because super regionals have you on
38:10
Speaker 6: the edge of your seat every single pitch, which is
38:13
Speaker 6: a ton of fun for people that are in him
38:15
Speaker 6: in June. How big of a transition was that, you know,
38:21
Speaker 6: I didn't he didn't think about it. Well, I knew
38:25
Speaker 6: I was actually covering Pat McMahon at the time because
38:28
Speaker 6: he had become the baseball coach, and Pat and I
38:30
Speaker 6: hit it off, really liked him, really enjoyed covering him,
38:36
Speaker 6: loved his intensity and fire, and he would have won well,
38:42
Speaker 6: he was already winning big, but he would have won
38:44
Speaker 6: big big had he not left Mississippi State to go
38:46
Speaker 6: to Florida. But he was promised some things that were
38:48
Speaker 6: not done. And so yeah, we knew it was big.
38:55
Speaker 6: But also understand Jackson that we weren't able to watch
39:00
Speaker 6: the Super Regionals live for years, all streaming. So even
39:05
Speaker 6: though Mississippi State went to the first one or the
39:07
Speaker 6: first year super Regionals were there, McMahon drove MSU he
39:11
Speaker 6: had just gone to the College World Series in the
39:13
Speaker 6: old format in ninety eight, and then he went to
39:16
Speaker 6: the Super Regionals in ninety nine. In two thousand and
39:19
Speaker 6: one before going to Florida, we knew.
39:22
Speaker 1: It was different.
39:22
Speaker 6: I don't know if we knew how cool it was
39:24
Speaker 6: going to be until streaming became prevalent and the access
