Pretty sure it will not be Dave Neal or anyone you see on national TV. Those guys make way more than what this gig will pay and they're not giving up regular national exposure.

That will exclude most of the local yokels that a lot of people have posted.


That's exactly the reason they put that qualification in there. They don't want JimBob from Bunkie to put his hat in the ring.

Didn't they open a national search for AD and then hire Skip to be AD? Not that he wasn't known or good but they looked everywhere and the guy was under their nose.

so, why bother releasing anything until we have names?


Ever heard of building suspense? They are teasing the fans and letting us know something is near. Maybe winter is coming?

I'm not a big fan of the notion of having to have one guy for all three sports. I've heard that's what they want and I wish they would reconsider that position.

I insisted on one "Voice of the Tigers," but I'm reconsidering.

Times have changed. With the internet and with every game on national or regional TV, that one "voice from god" radio announcer isn't that important.

So yeah, splitting the duties up three ways would be fine with me.

Not everyone is gonna be paid Hawthorne money if they split the duties up. I'm sure one person wants to be the Voice.

We have had: Hannagrif, Ford; wright , Blanton , Rush , Hultberg, Moreau , and Hawthorne. Are these guys going to get pissed if LSU brings in an outsider ?

Do we really need three guys calling basketball and baseball ?

What about Bill Franques ? Is he a potential candidate ?
