I played at LSU when Skip was coach. Tears, would be a little strong. He did have a motivational story before each game, some were really good and others were ok. Coming up with a good motivational story or 18-22 yr olds was tough I'm sure. What skip was best at was his "system." We did the same thing on August 15th that we did the year before and so on and so on.Our hitting finally caught up with Skips pitching staff and they begin to win more and more.
