Skip had a stent placed and should be home this evening. He is the greatest collge baseball coach in the last 20yrs. He won 5 National Championships since the early nineties. His heart probably couldn't take LSU winning 23 straight and advancing to the Super Regional. One things for sure, he'll be at Alex Box this weekend for the Super Regional.
