If you heard John Ferguson Jim has always been a pale substitute. When you add his many errors on a game by game basis it is embarrassing for lsu to have such a hack. Good riddance and please let them get a quality play by play guy for the first time since John Ferguson!!!!1

I moreso think of Jim as having a different style. Ferguson was from a different era, and while it was definitely a good era in terms of announcers, entertainers, etc., that era is gone and will never return. It took a bit of getting used to Jim's emotions at times, as Ferguson was a bit more reserved. However, Jim served his purpose, and if he had really been that bad I seriously doubt that LSU would have hung on to him, much less allow him to retire.
Let's just thank the guy for his service and wish him well in his future endeavors whatever they may be.

I listened to John Ferguson and Walter Hill for many years and had a great deal of respect the job he did for the games. But, I also vividly remember being so frustrated trying to figure out what was going on during a play. JF made his share of mistakes, as all of them do. John and Jim both have done great jobs, loved LSU and given us all a lot of great memories.

uh, what???
I grew up listening to John Ferguson every Saturday night. Before the days of cable TV, LSU football was only on radio.
Ferguson had a unique voice, but he was NOT a good play-by-play man. Way too slow in giving the results of a play. So many times, I heard the roar of the crowd several seconds before he announced what occurred. Very frustrating as a listener.
A good PBP guy gives very quick pertinent details of the play as it occurs, and then lets the color guy do the analysis. Ferguson was just too slow for my liking.
That being said, I grew up listening to him, so he still has a place in my heart. I just don't think he was technically very good.
