re: Do any other fanbases dislike their broadcaster like LSU's dislikes Hawthorne?

I'm a baseball fan more than anything, so this may be biased. But baseball has to be his weakest sport he calls. He can be good at times when the game is slow and there isn't much exciting going on, but when there's a big play or hit, he struggles and is difficult to listen to. And those are the points in the game where detail and flow are the most important. It also doesn't help when, rather than trusting what Jim says, I'm waiting for him to be corrected; he sounds so ignorant so often.
Again, I think this mostly relates to the baseball games.
