LSU was front and center in national sports headlines in the past week.  Most every day, the stories just kept on coming. “Recent Heisman Trophy winner wants his jersey retired or his Heisman back!” How about this:  “LSU Defensive back replies, “It’s My Number now – Come and Take it!” And then LSU had one of the saddest stories of the week with the headline, “Legendary LSU Baseball coach and Athletics Director Skip Bertman died Friday in Baton Rouge at age 88.” Let’s cover that serious story first. Skip Bertman was a man with a golden touch who quietly built LSU athletics into a national power J. Stanley Bertman loved baseball from an early age.  After his family relocated to Miami, the young “Skip” Bertman became a top local high school baseball player.  He signed to play college ball with the local Miami Hurricanes as an outfielder and catcher.  Bertman earned both his Bachelors and Masters degrees at The U in the early 1960’s. Skip Bertman then began his coaching career as a high school baseball coach at Miami Beach High School.  He took the team to a state championship and two runner-up finishes in 11 years. Bertman returned to his college alma mater to work with legendary college baseball coach Ron Fraser.  Skip Bertman became the recruiting coordinator, pitching coach, and assistant head coach for the Miami Hurricanes from 1976-1983.  The Canes won the NCAA national championship in 1982. LSU Athletics Director Bob Broadhead struck gold when he convinced Skip Bertman to leave south Florida and take over the LSU baseball team in the summer of 1983. Over the next 18 years, “The Skipper” led LSU’s baseball team to five national championships (1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 2000).  The team made 11 College World Series appearances to Omaha during those 18 seasons. When Bertman arrived in Baton Rouge, LSU baseball was played at the cozy confines of Alex Box Stadium.  This rather unique ballpark was put in service back in 1938.  It was located right across the street from LSU’s monstrous Tiger Stadium football facility.  The ballpark also bordered alongside an active railroad track.  It seemed that a train would rumble by the baseball park during every LSU night game. The success of Skip Bertman’s LSU baseball teams led to several expansions of Alex Box Stadium as sellouts became the norm by the late 1980’s. A larger new facility with nearly 11,000 seats replaced the old baseball stadium in 2009.  This new ball park retained the original name of “Alex Box Stadium.” In 2013, the name of the stadium changed to “Skip Bertman Field at Alex Box Stadium” in honor of LSU’s most successful baseball coach. Coach Bertman coached 41 LSU players who went on to play major league baseball.  Other former players have become successful coaches.  Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco (a catcher at LSU under Skip Bertman) guided his team to the College World Series title in 2022. Skip Bertman became LSU’s Athletics Director from 2001-2007.  His leadership and fundraising skills led to a series of major upgrades to the school’s athletics facilities.  He led a number of local charity fundraisers after retiring from LSU. Bertman had been hospitalized recently with heart-related issues.  He was 88. High…uh…4.999!  It’s the battle for the right to wear #5 on the LSU football team In one of the most bizarre sports stories last week, former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels (now playing for the NFL’s Washington Commanders) demanded that his former college not allow sophomore defensive back DJ Pickett to wear his former #5 this season. After that didn’t work, the quarterback’s family demanded that LSU must stop utilizing Daniels’ name, image, and likeness effective immediately.  They may have also asked for the Heisman Trophy replica on display at LSU to be returned to the Daniels’ family. As of this writing, LSU has not obliged any of those requests.  Nor should they. Daniels was a transfer student from Arizona State who played his final two college football seasons at LSU in 2022 and 2023.  He won the 2023 Heisman Trophy following a brilliant final year with the Tigers. Jayden Daniels became the #2 overall selection in the NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders in April, 2024.  He is entering his third season in ol’ DC. Daniels joined running back Billy Cannon (1959) and quarterback Joe Burrow (2019) as LSU’s Heisman Trophy winners. Jayden Daniels surprised the sports world last week with a demand that LSU not allow a current football player to wear his former #5 jersey this year. For the record, Joe Burrow’s #9 has not been worn since LSU’s 15-0 perfect season culminating in the 2019 national championship. The #9 football jersey for Joe Burrow and the #5 jersey for Jayden Daniels have not been “retired” by LSU.  At least not yet. Billy Cannon’s #20 is the only LSU jersey which has been retired and officially removed from circulation in the football program. LSU has “retired” the jerseys of three additional football players, though.  The jerseys of #4 (Charles Alexander – running back), #21 (Jerry Stovall – running back), and #37 (Tommy Cassanova – defensive back) were ceremoniously retired by LSU football. LSU plans to retire the #7 jersey of quarterback Bert Jones in a ceremony scheduled for November 14 this fall. Those four jersey numbers may still be worn by future LSU players, though.  Only Billy Cannon’s #20 is permanently out of circulation and unavailable for future football players. For the record, this year’s 2026 LSU Tigers football squad will have one player wearing Charles Alexander’s #4 jersey, two wearing Jerry Stovall’s #21, and one who will don Tommy Cassanova’s #37 in the fall. Why did LSU’s DJ Pickett persist on wanting to wear #5 this season? Many major college football teams dress more than 100 players for home games.  Since teams are not allowed to utilize three digits on a football jersey, two players frequently wear the same jersey number in college games.  Most of the time, one will play offense.  The other is usually on defense or special teams. Jayden Daniels played offense at LSU.  Cornerback DJ Pickett plays defense for the Tigers. LSU’s DJ Pickett claims to have worn a #5 jersey from youth football and all the way through high school. He said that former LSU football coach Brian Kelly had “promised” to allow him wear that number once he came to LSU. Coach Kelly has confirmed that the promise was, indeed, made to Pickett.  However, Kelly also said that former player Jayden Daniels had not given the “OK” prior to Pickett’s freshman season in 2025. So, DJ Pickett settled for jersey #3 last year as a freshman at LSU as part of Brian Kelly’s Tigers.  Pickett had a sensational first year at LSU and was named to the freshman All-American team. After Brian Kelly was fired and Lane Kiffin became LSU’s new coach beginning this season, DJ Pickett raised the “You guys promised me I could wear that #5 jersey” issue to his new coach again this summer. Pickett doesn’t seem to care what Jayden Daniels thinks about wearing LSU’s #5 jersey this season. DJ Pickett told the media last week, “It’s the number I was promised (by LSU).  I wish Jayden the best.  Good player, and he did real good here.  So, that’s all.” The father of DJ Pickett was more emphatic. Papa Pickett said last week, “Considering that Jayden is a legend at LSU and it’s out that he’s not supportive of my son wearing his number is very disappointing.  We wish in a perfect world that he (Daniels) would have given his blessing and, Tiger to Tiger, wish my son well.” LSU football coach Lane Kiffin (being the seasoned politician that he has become) confirmed that he checked with LSU administrators and found no reason why Pickett could not wear the #5 jersey for the Tigers this fall. LSU’s new $13 million per year football coach wants to stand up for his current group of players.  DJ Pickett will play an important role within LSU’s defensive unit this season in Baton Rouge. Sports fans are having a field day making fun of this #5 kerfuffle Needless to say, people outside of Louisiana have taken note of the childish back-and-forth going on surrounding LSU’s #5 football jersey. Sports punsters around the country have been making jokes about their own possible unauthorized usage of the #5.  It seems that no one wants to mess with the irate family of Jayden Daniels when it comes to the use of the fifth digit. Baseball’s New York Mets led the way. The major league baseball team won a game over the Washington Nationals last week 4-1.  They declared on the team’s X.com site, “Stopped at 4 (runs) out of respect for Jayden Daniels.” Another originated from sports ticket vendor Stub Hub.  On their website, tickets being sold for the Seattle Seahawks at Washington Commanders NFL game on September 27 will not allow bundling of five tickets together. “Out of respect for Jayden Daniels, we’re only doing 4 or 6+.” You get the picture. One of the more interesting ideas I heard last week was for LSU to auction the replica Heisman Trophy and donate the proceeds to one or more local charities.  If the family of Jayden Daniels still wants the trophy back, they can buy it back from the winner. I like it, but with one caveat. “No bids should contain the number five out of respect for Jayden Daniels.” The post The Big Stink-o over Cinco at LSU appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

This week, I'm honored to welcome Coach Keith Madison — former University of Kentucky Head Baseball Coach, ABCA Hall of Famer, ABCA Lefty Gomez Award winner and author of Coaching With Purpose.Coach Madison led the Wildcats for 25 seasons, retiring with the third-most wins in SEC history, behind only Ron Polk and Skip Bertman. But his impact extends far beyond the record books. Through Inside Pitch Magazine, SCORE International, and now his book Coaching With Purpose, he continues to guide coaches and players toward something bigger than the game itself.Coach Madison's story is about far more than baseball — it's about why we coach and who we become through the process.

Welcome to Episode 90 of Tablesetters, where the game's biggest stories collide with scorching heat, late-June pressure, and postseason implications already beginning to brew. We begin in Omaha, where the LSU Tigers didn't just win their eighth College World Series — they secured their place as the defining force in modern college baseball. From the dynasty built by Skip Bertman to the edge honed by Jay Johnson, LSU's legacy now spans three decades, multiple eras, and a standard no one else in the sport has matched. Then we shift west, where the Padres and Dodgers turned a simmering rivalry into a full-blown powder keg. Benches cleared, stars got plunked, and managers were tossed in a four-game series that saw eight hit batters and more bad blood than baseball. This wasn't just a tense series — it was personal. And the aftermath could define the rest of the NL West race. In New York, the Mets and Braves meet again — both clubs in search of clarity and consistency as they open a four-game set under the oppressive Queens heat. Atlanta may have swept New York last week, but both teams are still trying to find themselves in a season that keeps asking questions they can't quite answer. From Chris Sale's injury to Frankie Montas' high-stakes return, we break down what's at stake in a pivotal series. We also head to Cincinnati, where the Reds are turning the page — and turning to fire. Chase Burns, one of the most hyped pitching prospects in recent memory, will make his major league debut against the Yankees. With the rotation in tatters and the Reds hovering around .500, this isn't just a call-up — it's a bet on the future. We unpack Burns' meteoric rise, what makes his arsenal electric, and why his debut feels like a potential franchise reset. Elsewhere around the league, big names are coming and going. Max Scherzer returns to the Blue Jays. Shota Imanaga and Nathan Eovaldi are nearing activation. Adley Rutschman hits the IL. And the Padres and Mariners move on from veterans Jason Heyward and Rowdy Tellez. We close with a look at the surging and the slumping — a segment spotlighting players heating up or going ice cold. And in the AL MVP race, Cal Raleigh's historic first half behind the plate has Mariners fans fired up — but Aaron Judge is quietly putting together one of the best seasons of his career.

We have spent most of the late spring and early summer talking about the potential for the New Orleans Saints' new offense under Klint Kubiak. But what about Dennis Allen's defense? They were not good last season against the run and had virtually no pass rush. Will they be better? Can they find depth on the defensive line, and is this the last year for Hall-of-Famer to be defensive end Cameron Jordan? Jim Derry talks to his old friend, Larry Holder of The Athletic, on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 248) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also offer their early top surprise picks in the NFL and potential disappointments, as well as Jim's and Larry's Super Bowl predictions (which they reserve the right to change before September). Lastly in the ‘Extra Point,' Jim looks back 33 years to when LSU baseball started its run in becoming the premier program in the country and Skip Bertman became a legend, as they won their first national championship over Wichita State.

On this episode of The Secrets to Winning, I chat with Glenn Guilbeau of OutKick.com and author of Everything Matters in Baseball: The Skip Bertman Story. The book is about my former LSU head baseball coach Skip Bertman, the man who brought winning baseball to LSU. It sheds light on Skip's work ethic, inventiveness, attention to detail, entrepreneurial ability, and overall contributions to LSU in his capacity as coach and later as athletic director. It includes chapters on each of the five National Championships won under his direction, beginning in 1991; it reveals his secrets to training great pitchers who later pitched in the Major Leagues; and it shows how he embraced and used "The Power of Positive Thinking" throughout his career.

Next up on the ABCA Podcast is Division I National Champion Ole Miss head coach, Mike Bianco. This continues our series of ABCA Coaches that were National Champions this year. Bianco was honored with the ABCA/ATEC Coach of the year award. Bianco just finished his 22nd season at Ole Miss and is the longest tenured coach in the SEC.
