As long as he understands the game more than Hawthorne, I'm gonna like him.

He's gonna be just fine. I love Jim, but happy with Chris.

Man he's good. I hope we have him a long, long time.

I'm just happy Charlie is gone.

He's a great professional voice. The only thing that bothered me about the hire is that he doesn't have any LSU ties or fandom.
Kind of evident in that call. He's "excited" for show for his job, not because he's actually an LSU fan. Hopefully that's something that develops over the years.
What made Hawthorne great was his passion for LSU and how genuinely excited he was when something good happened, and how genuinely disappointed he was when something went wrong. It helped you feel like you were there and in the moment.
I guess you take an upgrade in the actual sportscasting part for a downgrade in the emotional connection department.
I wish you the best of luck, Chris. Fine first game call

From Politz to Ferguson to Hawthorne and now Blair ; a lifetime of memories to be shared......

I listened to the last few innings on the radio.
This guy is going to be really good. Very impressive. We're seriously lucky to have him. The other big-time places that didn't hire him missed out.
He also does a nice W-C-K..Fouuunn-dation repair promo.

He doesn't say "Ellick Box".

He was great and will become a fan. May never have the passion Jim does, but that passion really played to his detriment the last few years. The negativity and complaining really made me dislike listening to him the last 3-5 years.
And Hawthorne didn't seem to understand situational baseball, even after announcing it for decades. I honestly don't think he liked baseball that much and it really pissed me off when he would obviously have a mouth full of hot dog talking during a game. I always thought Jim was good at basketball. Football, meh, and got worse.
Blair seems like a great hire.

Not sure why, but he does remind me of Jim Hawthorne a bit. I'm looking forward to listening to him on the radio for LSU games in the future.
