re: Jim Hawthorne is so frustrating some times

I've said it before and will say it again: those that bitch about jim have not listened to many games around the country. He is cards and spades better than any I have heard. Try it - see for yourself. Lastly, none of u have done any voice work. It's a challenge. I do quite a bit. It's tough. Jim is awesome at his job

When Hawthorne makes David Yellum at Ole Miss look good, you know it's time for a change.

The voice in the radio industry is #1 in importance and every this else is a fairly distant 2nd.
Each to our own bout Jim, but you don't win the prestigious national Lindsey Nelson award without being a fairly talented broadcaster.

This is such a tired-arse argument. I don't need to know how to cook to know that the chef who prepared my food did a lousy job. I don't need to know how to fix a car to know that the mechanic who worked on my vehicle didn't do it correctly.
Calling a game involves a LOT more than just loving LSU and having a nice voice. It's all that other stuff that gets people upset with Hawthorne. He gets his own players confused, doesn't keep up with the plays, does a poor job of keeping the listener informed of game situations, and goes negative at the drop of a hat.
FYI, yes, I do a lot of voice work, too, and I have done PBP. I also listen to a lot of other PBP guys, and LSU deserves better than what Hawthorne delivers. I haven't heard all of the SEC PBP guys, but in my opinion Florida, SC, UGA, Bama and Mizzou have better ones than LSU. Satellite radio will open your ears to a lot of other really good ones around the country.
