Ratings drive all. More people will watch JD drama. I love college baseball and Skip, but in 2026, Daniels is a household name and Skip is not.



I don't watch much M&M but I agree the JD drama deserves most of the attention on a show like theirs.

I taped the Feinbaum show Friday to see how they recognized Coach Bertman and found it VERY respectful. They led the show with it and an interview with Ben McDonald. Several calls about it and then an interview with Rabalais at the top of the 3rd hour.

I thought PF spent an appropriate time honoring and remembering our coach.
When this broke Thursday morning, I posted his only way out was to throw his team under the bus. He did not. Instead, he's on day three of terrible press. Opposing stadiums are going to be merciless.

He's let it go too long, which means he's getting terrible advice and/or he is too close to the "advisors" who put him here to backtrack.

I think we're here because one or more "advisor" saw #5 was given out and convinced Daniels he should be upset about it. He is prepping for the season and probably said, "Whatever, go ahead". I seriously doubt he instigated this or fully knew what was going on until it was too late. But now he can't go against his team so he's taking all the heat and has probably burned the LSU bridge for good.

The great advice "You don't go into business with family and friends" is certainly appropriate in this case it appears.

Curious if Cannon was on this list 80s and 90s


Good question JW77. I would say no. When the Cannon situation happened, he fully cooperated and took his punishment like a man. It had nothing to do with LSU other than our biggest legend was convicted of a federal crime. LSU fans were shocked, disappointed and yes, some were angry, but he paid his debt willingly and completely. Then, he nailed the remainder of his life and re-embraced LSU.

At least this his how I saw (see) it. Others may remember it differently.



You may be right SG. It's a mess and so stupid. He just needs it to end quickly and hope LSU has a great season. The Commanders too. If he has a bad year, this distraction will be brought up.

So stupid.
..throw his people under the bus. "I'm busy preparing for our first game and had a few conversations with my attorney and camp about this and should have paid more attention to what they were doing and the potential impact. Consider the matter dropped and I apologize for this distraction. Blah Blah Geaux Tigers"

I don't see any other way out, and even this won't satisfy everybody. Regardless, he needs this to end quickly.
Maybe because there are only nine (or 10 if you count "0") of them and ninety double digits? I like single digits for skilled players but to each their own.

(Based on what I know so far, I'm Team LSU on this JD thing). What an unforced mess of an error by his camp!
yeah...she just made it worse. The "experts" will not be kind to her for that poor attempt to save some face.
Will she? Probably not. Can she? Absolutely.

In 2008, the following seemed impossible: Joe Biden will be president
In 2016, the following seemed impossible: Kamala will be VP

Nothing is impossible when the deck is 90% stacked to help democrats.
Hard to believe none of the five Tigers immortalized in Tiger Stadium are among the six in the pro football HOF. (Cannon, Stovall, Casanova, Alexander, and now Jones).

The next name up in Tiger Stadium is likely Faulk and he isn't getting into the NFL HOF so maybe Faneca or Pat P. will be the first to get both honors.

If AI's answer is correct, it's a very long and difficult road...

re: LSU vs Ole Miss side by side

LSU has been in a competitive conference since its inception. Schools like Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas benefitted from being in weak conferences they dominated.

Often, Nebraska vs. Oklahoma at the end of the Big 8 season was one of only 2-3 "tough" games on their schedules. How is Nebraska doing now that they are in the Big 10? Time will tell on OU and Texas.

All that to say, All Time wins and percentage wins is a little misleading, and being near #10 on those lists for any SEC team is outstanding.

Some very good singers were in the shadows of the "Big 4" who all hit big in the early 90s (Garth, Clint Black, Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt).

Mark Chestnut, Doug Stone, Tracy Lawrence, John Michael Montgomery just to name a few.

re: Bert Jones jersey to be retired

Posted by ATCTx on 7/15/26 at 12:34 pm to
I'm surprised anyone questions this move. He was LSU's first All American quarterback and until 2019, he was the best QB in LSU history. (and Coach McClendon did him NO favors!)

He is an LSU legend and was on a borderline NFL hall of fame track before injuries ended his career.

LSU waited too long to put Charlie and now Jones in, but it's the right thing to do and now they'll have to decide when to put Kevin Faulk in before the tough decisions for those who played after him.

Whether it was Chaplin, Wayne, Stewart, Brando, Pacino, Hepburn, Davis, Hanks, etc, he passed someone as history's biggest movie star some time ago.

So loud I could feel vibrations in my stomach. Phantom face mask penalty and offsides no-call on the same play.

Many forget, but the game ended with an LSU pass to the end zone that would have won it.


Mediocre 7-5 LSU had no business playing against the #1 Trojans who had Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott and Charles White on an absolutely loaded team. They and the Miami team that whipped LSU in a thunderstorm (1988) are the two most talented teams I ever saw in Tiger Stadium.

The severely outmatched Tigers lost to USC 17-12 but as mentioned, there was a controversial late 4th qtr. facemask call against LSU that gave USC life and LSU had a long pass in the end zone in the final seconds that was there for the taking. Loudest I've ever heard the stadium.
I've seen many great games, so I'd rather see the legendary plays that made them great games. Here are my five of many:

2013 - Kick Six
1984 - Flutie Hail Mary (BC 47 Miami 45)
1982 - Stanford Band (Cal 25 Stanford 20)
2005 - Bush Push (USC 34 ND 31)
1959 - LSU 7 Ole Miss 3 - Billy Cannon 89 yard punt return on Halloween Night
