I wonder if Jeremy Phillips will get any more carries this year.

lol. At the end of that honoring, I then shouted towards the field, "now you can retire! Please?"

I'll never get the disdain for Jim Hawthorne. I love the guy, and I am old enough to remember John Ferguson.

I don't think he's a technically superior announcer or anything, but he's also not deserving of the jabs he takes either.

I am sure all of you think you could do his job a thousand times better



but you would all be wrong



yes makes mistakes with names, get over yourselves like you wouldn't make the same mistake doing something LIVE that you cannot go back and edit

I actually thought he was retiring when I saw the picture of him on the screen and Borne talking about him. Then they said the 30 years deal, oh...

JH makes the games more exciting. Period.

Im not a moron so I dont need the announcer to nail every name exactly the way it is ever time he opens his mouth.

You people really need to get the frick over this hawthorne hate....dude ain't going anywhere til he gets ready to.

the people who are so quick to put down on Jim love to listen to that mono toned bore Hanigriff. I listen to tapes of that fricker when I can't fall asleep. He shouldn't be announcing on radio, he should be making self help tapes for people with insomnia.

Had a friend who is not an LSU fan who caught LSU radio on his Satellite radio...messaged me after the game "Tell the voice of the LSU Tigers to get a new sidekick. Whoever this guy is is an idiot. He hasn't made an intelligent comment the whole game"

I'd rather look at Charlie than listen to him,, that should tell you something.

Charlie is knowledgeable I'll admit that, but he's boring as frick.. As I said earlier Jims calls are exciting... That's what I want out of an announcer.

was he talking about Doug Moreau? or maybe the on field reporter Gordy Rush? Moreau is a former tiger receiver and is pretty spot on with his assessments. Gordy is Jordy's replacement so I only see him on replays.

I thought maybe he got confused and thought Hawthorne was the sidekick. If not I'm not sure...but I thought he was funny...I hate our radio guys normally...
