No offense to Chris Blair, but I would love to hear Jim Hawthorn’s call of the last play

Assuming he wouldn’t confuse Mason Taylor with Jack Bech. His “HOLYYYYY COWWWWWWWW” reaction would have been a classic

I like Blair a lot EXCEPT when he says touchdown Fighting Tigers.

Idk why it annoys me.

Because he says it the same way a national tv news personality would say it.

I thought Blair's call was terrific, and captured the moment well.

It’s a swing and a miss for a called strike three!

Not as bad as HEY NOW!

He’s great for baseball, but only ok for football IMO.

I don’t get that saying either. Seems forced and corny.

Hawthorne meh a hack at best if you want a legend to call it imagine John Ferguson that would have been a call!!

Somehow, someway Hawthorne would’ve f*cked it up. Just like his he f*cked up every major call he ever did.

Hey now is so cringe and sounds forced. It ruins every call it’s included in.

I don’t believe it!!!!!

ETA: Chris Blair is going to read this and just lose all hope as he gets his next job at ESPN, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.

I agree I miss Hawthorn, I don’t like when Blair says “hey now” and I don’t like that he says “fighting tigers” all the time…
