re: Finally coming out of hiding... so, how bad was Jim Hawthorne

I totally disagree. Hawthorne may get some calls wrong in baseball, but he is MUCH MUCH better than any other LSU PBP guy at filling the dead time between pitches and he has MUCH more emotion in his voice than Hanagriff or the other guy (names slips my mind currently).
In fact, I have no idea why all the hate for Hawthorne over the last 5yrs or so. Is the a TD thing? A younger generation thing? I'm only in my early 30's....is this a view point of the 20 somethings? Listen to the Ole Miss PBP guy, he isn't any better.

I've been kinda tired of Hawthorne since about 1989. Back then he was just cranky and pessimistic, but more often than not could at least tell you the down and distance.

I'm 42 and I don't think he is very good at his job. I think he has gotten lazy and his vision is not very good.

difference being is that Hanegriff understands baseball 1000x more than Hawthorne. He also knows more about LSU baseball than anyone on the planet. Regardless of how dry he may sound at time, I'd rather listen to Hanegriff any day of the week.

This. I'm quickly realizing our fan base is our own worst enemy.
13-1? Fire the coach.
Win the CWS in 2009? Fire the coach two years later because he is rebuilding.
Radio guy? Made some mistakes in one of hundreds of games he calls a year: Fire him too.
