It’s weird to say but he has kinda regressed. He was cool the first couple seasons. Don’t think the passion for his job is there anymore. Could be wrong, just how it sounds most of the time.

I think he's pretty good. And listening to other school's announcers, he's definitely better than most, and a LOT better than some. Hawthorne was likable, but he got soooo much wrong during games towards the end of his career, it was hard to listen to.

I was just saying Big Ben needs to be the voice for LSU baseball, but I’m sure he gets a lot more money from ESPN

I don’t think anyone has an issue with the accuracy of his calls or that he puts information out there.

He's the worst. Can't stand him. Not him personally, but his work.

I'll never listen to his calls because they are flat out bad.

You know why Rod Bramblett was such an electric announcer for Auburn?

Well he was an Auburn fan. Hawthorne while not a graduate was an LSU fan.

Shocking that some dude from Georgia has to try and pantomime passion about LSU sports.

Pretty blah broadcast each time! He has no enthusiasm. It's ok to be a "homer" and a Tiger fan!

The Crews grand slam sounded like Blair was reading a phone book.

Considering you’ve done nothing but trash the baseball team since the jump, maybe you shouldn’t watch or listen at all

grew up on Hawthorne so I miss him, but it is pretty damn nice actually knowing what is happening


See this is one of the problems. You have to deduce what just happened from crowd noise and the plays that follow, because far too often Blair doesn’t tell you what just happened.

It’s the whole “Hey Now!” that is cheesy AF. He just doesn’t have any Louisiana flair

Jesus I hope not. Hunt is my least favorite of them all… even the little league coach dude who thinks he’s still at practice every time he calls a game, uses every play as an “important teaching lesson/moment for all the youngsters listening”; even that guy is better than Hunt imo.

I wasn’t a huge fan at first but he’s grown on me. I’ve said it before but go back and listen to some of his calls from big moments in the 2019 LSU football season. Or the bama game from this year.

When the moments are huge he absolutely delivers. He was ok today but let’s be honest - we were up 6-0 in the 3rd. Wasn’t a lot of big wild moments for him to go nuts in the press box. I am betting he will do a great job when LSU explodes in Omaha.

I like Blair for all the other sports but wish Hunt and Hanny got the call for baseball.
They love it
