People don’t realize how hard this job actually is sometimes. Turn on the Stanley cup playoffs and actively listen to those announcers give detailed descriptions of that action.
Blair gets knocked for not being a through and through LSU guy and providing less of a homer perspective sometimes, but that sound clip brings a lot of emotion and excitement that proves he’s invested in the game. Provides a vivid image for those not able to physically see the action and also transfers the thrill and intensity of the moment to the listeners.
Hawthorne’s voice was unique and will never be replicated. Brings a lot of nostalgia to so many that it’s hard to get used to someone different. But Blair does a great job, and I hope he stays for a long time to make a large number of legendary calls for the tigers.

Jim’s last five years was torture he was the man in his day along with John Furgurson back in the day. Blair is awesome a ray of sunshine.

It’s extremely hard when your sidekick sucks, and there is no chemistry. He might as well have a drawing each night for a fan to do the color commentary for him

Hockey has to be the most difficult sport to call with the continual line substitutions while play is ongoing. The guys who call those games are amazing.
Chris Blair has developed into exactly what LSU wanted when he was hired. He's doing an excellent job all around. It would be nice if they had someone in the booth next to him contributing more than what we have now. The interaction between the guys in the booth is an important aspect of the listening experience.
I liked Jim Hawthorne a lot but always considered baseball to be his weakest call.
