re: How many LSU fans will shed a tear on Hawthorns last day?

If you heard John Ferguson Jim has always been a pale substitute.

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.
