Blair's call of GSU beating Florida (football)


I feel indifferent about him after hearing that.

It will be interesting hearing someone new.

Not a bad hire. Still wish they would have chosen to have someone separate do baseball.

I heard he was really good for Georgia Southern. Even if he's not a household name yet, if he's good at what he does, then glad he's getting a shot.

He won't take over until 2016 LSU Baseball.

The guy is good. Great voice and keen synchronization with the ongoing action.

Welcome to Baton Rouge, Blair family.

Disagree. It's original and doesn't sound gimmicky.

Whose to say he wI'll bring it with him though

Why exactly would they do this?

I like the fact that he is a Southerner, but at least Hawthorne had Louisiana ties and local sports experience (Centenary). I kind of view this guy as an "outsider" in some respects.

Does anyone else feel that way?

It was always going to be weird unless it was a true LSU guy. At least he is young enough that a generation will come to know him as the LSU voice regardless of what we know about his background right now. I think he's a good choice.

I just think these days it's too much to have one person do all 3 sports. Very, very few schools do it that way. Heck Jim missed almost the first month of baseball season this year because it conflicted with hoops. It will be interesting to see who they get to do those games now.

I don't see why Hannie wouldn't fill in still. Unless he doesn't want to do it.

I like it from what I can tell so far. He's still young. Let's hope he can have as great of a run as what Hawthorne had.

I just wish the new "voice" of the Tigers would be a Tiger fan from birth. Oh well I will listen anyway.
