LSU edited the audio but it was aweful. He said “Derrick Dillon with the pick 6!!” And that was a good 10 seconds after he scored and ran around the end zone. You can say what you want to, but he is cheesy and just doesn’t fit at LSU. I miss Hawthorne in his prime. He was fun to listen to.

That call by Blair was terrible. Absolutely terrible. It was like he was eating a sandwich or somehow otherwise distracted.

Well, at least he didn't say "Jack Hunt caught it..!"

I didn't hear the call, but the few times I have listened, he's done a good job.

It's always better when the guy you grew up listening to is making the call, even if Jack Hunt is catching Devery Henderson's receptions. LOL

It's not like Blair gave a defensive player's name for Dillon

I miss Hawthorne just because I was so used to his voice and style. On the few occasions I've listened to Blair during various sporting events, he's done a good job though. I like him

The truth is that Blair is not a football caller, he’s better with a sport like baseball. He’s almost a little “too professional” sometimes with his calls and his voice. He’ll probably never give you chills like Hawthorne could. And the DD touchdown call wasn’t very good that’s for sure.

LSU Football FB page has a 4 min highlight video using the radio broadcast.

And yes, his call of the Dillon touchdown was awful.

I did not hear the call but I heard the DJ voice introduction he made to start the broadcast yesterday which was bloody awful.

Blair manages to make very important plays sound routine.

Not only was he super calm on that play, he fricked it up

Eh, hard to say on that but even if you’re right I still like have a pro’s pro like CB calling LSU sporting events.

Blair is such an upgrade over Hawthorne it isn't even funny, and one blown call doesn't change that.

I mean, Hawthorne's entire national perception was based around him fricking everything up. Deadspin did an article on it: LINK

That’s my issue. A pro’s pro doesn’t frick shite up like that. Give me a fan if you’re going to mess up the calls

No, more like he gave the offensive player a pick 6...

He blew another call in the game but I cant think of it at the moment

I was listening to the CBS broadcast and I think right after the Dillon TD, one of the announcers said something along the lines of "Justin Jefferson, 71 yard touchdown!"

I like Blair, but yesterday was not a good day. I had to listen to most of the game and he was constantly missing where the ball was spotted and was late giving down and distance. Those are essential for a radio call. He did not seem focused.
