I believe it’s time for Doug Moreau to hang up the headphones

I listened to the second quarter last night on the radio, WWL The Big 870 to be precise, and Ole Doug was having a hard time.
He hasn’t offered much analysis for a while, they usually cut to Gordy Rush for that, but Gordy was having mic issues all night, leaving Doug to fumble around. Plus he called Georgia State Georgia Southern every time. It was a really tough listen.
Doug is 78, is an LSU legend, man of the law…it’s time for a graceful retirement.

I was calling them Georgia Southern all night too.

Yes, it is.

Doug and Jim were great together. Neither one of them are doing well from what I hear. Jim is 80 years old.

Something good about Hawthorne retiring is that Blair doesn't let Moreau drone on and on like he used to.

As far as I am concerned, Moreau can stay for as long as he wants. If Joe Biden can be the leader of the free world, Doug Moreau can be our color commentator. I have been listening to the broadcasts for a long time, and the only color commentators I can recall are Doug Moreau and Walter Hill.

Moreau can only get through two highlights at halftime. It's a rough scene

I had to go pick up my son about a minute or 2 into the 4th quarter and tuned in. He didn’t say a word for about 10 or 15 minutes of airtime. It was all Chris Blair and sideline report from Gordy. Assume he was getting a hot dog or something.

Yeah, I caught the same part of the broadcast driving home from work. Came away with the same opinion.
I dont know if the public likes him but Gordy Rush aint bad. I assume he does not have a conflict of interest with his part of Guaranty Broadcasting.

This happens so much with broadcasters. So many of them seem to think if Vin Scully can do it, so can they.
Doug was a tremendous player and for many years a very good commentator, but his best days are definitely behind him by a few years.
Hope he realizes it and can bow out gracefully.

He doesn’t have the code to the nuke arsenal so unless you think Biden should be replaced maybe you should put things in perspective. Listening to Jim is about loyalty and pride and great fullness for so many years of perfectly called games. Glass is still half full for sure.

LSU is going to want to hire Jacob Hester to do play-by-play, and Gordy is going to be all kinds of butthurt.

He was once one of the best radio color guys in the business. Time will get all of us eventually and I'm sure at his age and stature he ain't going to practices and breaking down film. That's why they have Gordy.

I agree

I stopped listening to them after the FSU game when he kept shitting on Daniels because our defense is shite. The exact quote was " their quarterback looks like he should be the Heisman candidate not ours". Not looking too good there, Doug.

Is there nothing So-Called LSU fans won't cry about like little bitches? Man up pussycat
Posted on 11/19/23 at 6:46 pm to DBG
I like them together

Get Mike Hoss to help out

I thought he was substantially older. He played as a senior for the Tigers in 1964; that was 59 years ago!
You mean he started LSU at the age of 16!?
