Spinoff - Hawthorne's Bluegrass Miracle Play by Play - Why re-recorded?

I posted this in the other thread but didn't get any responses. I'd really like to know if anyone knows the story behind this. I searched google and couldn't find anything.
It appears that Hawthorne re-recorded the play-by-play for this to fix his mistake of claiming Jack Hunt caught the TD pass. I was watching the game on SEC network a few days ago and they showed the clip with Hawthorne's play by play. I told my wife "get ready for Jack Hunt!", yet he never said it. I thought that maybe my memory was fading me or something or maybe he said it later on, after the TD and it was cut off.
I found a clip on youtube that I believe has the same audio that was used in the rebroadcast special on SEC Network. Notice that there is no "Jack Hunt."

This audio appears to be the original with "Jack Hunt!"

They likely just cut out "Jack Hunt" instead of redoing it.

It was a pretty rediculous error considering Jack Hunt played D his entire career and that was the most improbable play in LSU history.

By far Jim's most unfathomable mistake ever
I mean, I get that he was excited but how do you confuse a black WR for a white S?

I still have that game on VCR but I've never replayed it. Now if I can only find a way to replay it.

I get on Hawthorne a good bit on this site (some just to stir the pot), but to be honest, I can totally understand the Jack Hunt mistake. Hawthorne wants the Tigers to win just like the rest of us. That had to be miserable sitting in the pressbox calling what was about to be a humiliating loss. You can't blame for not being 100% into that call at the start of the play. Listen to his voice as the play starts, he's so disheartened. And then the miracle happens and I'm sure that Hawthorne wasn't the only one immediately shocked. It's just that we don't have audio of all of our thoughts when Dash Right 93 Berlin happened.

for some reason I seem to remember an article from the time stating that they re-recorded it. However I could not find that on a search but I did find this...

LSU radio play-by-play man Jim Hawthorne infamously screamed, "Caught! Caught! Touchdown! I do not believe it! That's Jack Hunt." Hunt, a former wide receiver turned safety, wore No. 8. LSU later deleted Hawthorne's mistake from the archived recording. Hawthorne, moments later in the broadcast, acknowledged it was Henderson.

Devery Henderson had the game of his life that day. 3 TDs several great runs.
Could have been worse, he could have said "Mike Hunt!"

On a side note:
In 07, on the Friday before the game in Lexington, we were partaking in the Keeneland parking lot during the races and had that call on repeat and cranked loud. Passers by seemed a bit displeased.
