re: Walter Hill has died in Lafayette

May Mr. Hill rest in peace.

Grew up listening to the LSU games on radio, and after marriage loaded the kids up (with some snacks) and drove to the top of a nearby hill to pick up the signal. The kids were usually out cold by half-time, but those broadcasts introduced them to Tiger football in the same way it introduced me.

And then there was the noon show, Walter, Jean, and ... Sid Crocker, maybe??? Can't recall, but my grandmother never missed it (for a time she had the only TV in the family ).

I just wish I could have met and thanked him.

Much, much better John Ferguson - Walter Hill broadcast

LSU - Notre Dame 1971

That LSU/ND game was a classic. The LSU crowd was considerably louder back then, and I didn't notice where anybody left

Must've been some bad feelings between the two schools back then, because LSU called timeout with 25 seconds left in the 4th quarter before they scored that last touchdown.

Great job by Mr. Hill and Mr. Ferguson.

Thank you, ptra. much better indeed!

I hope the family can see how important Mr Hill was to those of us who could not attend the games. I (and many others) listened to Walter and John across this country and around the world. My wife and I were stationed in the Air Force in New Mexico, and we would drive up in the mountains to catch the game on WWL. Later, my wife sent audio tapes of the games to me in Vietnam. Walter and John were a great team and are missed by many fans.
