Favorite Jim Hawthornisms

Jack Hunt.

I ran into Devery a few years later and called him Jack Hunt. He busted out laughing.

Every time we hit a pop flyout on the infield and he started getting excited like it was a no doubt Homerun.

Chris Blair is really good as well.

“My oh my”

"And there's a deep drive to left...going back, caught by the shortstop"

Here's the snap and he's gonna load up and throw deep. And that'll go for a 4 yard gain.

The amount of times an opponent caught a pass with NO ONE AROUND HIM for a 9 yard gain.

And hereuhhh’s Tack Minor, he dribbles off his foot into the frontcourt, it’s picked up by Darrel Mitchell who goes inside to Stanley Roberts ! What a play!

Swung on and missed for a called strike 3!

I was going to go with that one, but since you beat me to it, I was at the hospital and went down to my car to catch part of the game on the radio and heard this gem:

"He steps back to pass...throws to the end zone and it is intercepted. No, he dropped it. TOUCHDOOOWWWWNN!"

2013 LSU Bama basketball game. 3 overtimes. I got in the car at the end of regulation and Hawthorne went 7 minutes of real time (2:30 or so of game time) without saying the score. I later found out LSU was down 10 and stormed back to tie.

Also, a baseball game where Nola was on the mound, I think against South Carolina the call was "swung on and that baby is WAYYYY out of here . . . pause for 10 seconds Foul!"
