Whats it to ya...The guy was a great announcer


yep, I remember the days when we had to rely on radio for many games, including football, baseball, and basketball....one thing about Hawthorne, he calls it like it is. If LSU sucked that day/night, he wasn't shy about saying it. You don't find that with some other announcers. Take Ole Miss, they are pathetic to have to listen to. They never commit penalties/fouls, etc....always the officials....lol

also, some of these young punks on here are just that.....punks. They know nothing of tradition. Hawthorne has given a lot to LSU over the years, and is much appreciated by most. These kids can't quite comprehend that.

He over did this. There were times he should just simply keep his mouth closed and make no comment at all. He harped on the negative way too much and made listening to less-than-good games somewhat unbearable.

As you should find. Nobody wants to hear too much doom-and-gloom. Jim reveled in this.
