I've listened to several of their baseball games and he is superior to Hawthorne.

he basically called it a HR as long as the wind keeps it fair


ball proceeds to bounce in foul territory into the stands. not even sure if it made it as deep as the warning track.


watching on GZ & listening to this a-hole really puts things into perspective. Thank god Hannagriff does 4-6.

Y'all idiots ever go to the games? How many people jump to their feet thinking a ball is gone every time someone hits a fly ball? Y'all are fricking retards to bitch about Hawthorne. He is a great PBP guy in all sports I suggest you listen to other teams guys before crying like little bitches...oh wait none of y'all have.

Ha, you should hear his basketball commentary.

Hickey crosses over a defender, takes a step back, takes a three and ITS GOOD!!! And now they are saying its a two...

The older generation, 55 and older, pronounce the city Alexandria,La. as "Elec". That's where that comes from. We that have moved away and don't get Hawthorne on a regular basis like him. He represents LSU to us. We have to hear OM or Ms. State first, then they might mention something about the rest of the SEC. BAMA, Tenn., aTm, or LSU maybe. We miss Hawthorne, you take him for granted. We can only get him late at night on WLS am radio.

I hope he sticks around another 20 years.. For no other reason than to troll these crybabies on here that love to hate on the man.

Hawthorne is awesome.

I don't understand why people complain so much.

he also pronounces Alex Edward as Elick Edward, which is not the correct pronunciation.

What else does Hawthorne do? Can he support himself on being the LSU play-by-play man alone?

UT play-by-play man Craig Way hosts his own talk show during the week on KVET-AM in Austin.

And sometimes Elick Edwards, which is also not correct.

Jim has not done this recently though. It only took him 3 years to figure out his last name was Edward and not Edwards.
