From a State alum and lifelong fan, my condolences to our LSU baseball brethren on the death of a legend. The State-LSU baseball rivalry is unique among rivalries. Great competition, intense baseball games but a genuine camaraderie between fans. Each program’s fans appreciate great baseball. And Coach Bertman embodied that in a special way. A great man has passed on to that diamond in the sky.

Classy letter from coach Ron, but I'd expect nothing less.

Good stuff from Polk.
I know some maybe thought there was animosity between them through the years and some of Skip's quotes about Starkville but like Polk mentions they were very close friends.
RIP Skip.

They had a lot of respect for each other. Greatness recognizes greatness

Thoughts with LSU fans, what a coach, what a man. Legend.

Pure Class Coach.
Anyone know if State and LSU play next season?

Yes State-LSU are permanent baseball rivals and will play a three game series next year in Alex Box Stadium.

Oh good. Hopefully Coach Polk can make it, and have Big Ben in the booth.
Would love to hear that interview. Either way, can't wait for the first game next season with on the call.

Glad I got to see the legend Ron Polk after y'all beat us in BR few years back. He seems like a good guy. Told my kids he used to be the head coach and was very good.

Have said for years, they should do a SEC Storied about the 2 coaches. They basically built SEC Baseball. Unfortunately now too late, to do it the best way.
