Don't get me wrong I've met Jim Hawthorne, and think he's a great guy ...

BUT

I would vote for Charles for baseball any day of the week. Well you know, when he's not on the poker tables at the boat

I think Charlie is the future for LSU. Some ppl think his style is too dry, but he seems to be putting more emotion into it this year. Personally I like him because he brings so much knowledge to the broadcast.

Didn't Patrick Coogan do the commentary with Hanagriff? How did he do?

Charlie is kind of dry, but you're right he does bring a lot of knowledge. I enjoy listening to him after LSU football games and I like the topics he talks about during the usually slow baseball games.

I like coog, he is a little shy, but a ton of information, when he does talk..

he's gotta learn to just jump in, but not interfere with the calls, like doug moreo (sp) does when Jim is trying to make the calls in football

Charles and Coogan were GREAT!!! i really like the inside knowledge Coogan brings. And i REALLY like Charles doing the PBP.

And i agree, the grand slam call was GREAT!!! I was in my back yard shoveling some dirt and just started jumping around. The wife must think i've lost it!!

my favorite team by far in the booth is doug thompson with charlie.

doug knows alot of inside stuff to look for as far as players go and shite and charlie has is knowledge of stats

if we could just get ben mcdonald paired up with hanny, that would be the best combo

I 100% agree, but I may hold a little bias. I really do enjoy listening to him call baseball.....listened to him tonight before finally switching over to basketball.
