I will be meeting Bertman Monday during some of the College Baseball Hall of Fame activities. Some of the postings here make me believe I will be meeting Ebenezer Scrooge, some make me think I will be meeting an LSU icon. What is the message that I should pass to him from the members of TigerForums.com
"You need to preserve your legacy in the eyes of Tiger Forums members. To do this you must start by hiring Nick Saban back from the Dolphins. After that, go ahead and hire Pat Riley to coach the basketball team. Then immediately dismiss Coach Mainieri and replace him with Joe Torre. After you do all this, tell John Brady that he was replaced during the off-season by Riley. Go ahead and wait a few weeks to inform him though. We all hate that guy and it will serve him right."
I have met him several times. I think you will be surprised at how down to earth he is. Kinda like talking to your neighbor or something.
tell him that no matter what anyone says, success speaks for itself, and no one can argue his success at LSU, no matter how controversial or how wrong some people think his moves are. Like a great idiot once said,: "Just win, baby!"
Mention to him that his batting cage place in the Industriplex was way better before it got fancy. (Assuming it's still there...NLMD honed his Wade Boggs-like skills there back in the day.)
tell him he wont reach the stature of a jeremy foley if he continues shopping the blue light specials for coaches. what an ad they got themselves over there.
