he’s been dealing with some long term health issues that have kept him away from calling games for LSU.


Bill Franques did a solid job filling in for football, but Dan was still sorely missed in Tiger Stadium.

Basketball was just awful without him, but some of that could be contributed to the product on the court!

nothing at all wrong with the job Bill did, but it just didn’t “feel” right.

Bill is Baseball at the Box.
Borne is Saturday Night in Death Valley.

just seems weird when it’s not those voices in those particular venues.

Bill is a legend in his own right but he was far too upbeat and enthusiastic on the mic at Tiger Stadium.

Dan’s voice had a little bit of an intimidation factor especially when reading off the starting lineup right before the band walked out.

Dan not being there for basketball made the terrible season tolerable.

Probably my favorite play I've ever seen live. People try to describe the atmosphere in the stadium. But, unless you were there, it's hard to comprehend.

Yeah he was once the President of the Louisiana Chemical Association.


When Dan stepped down from his position at LCA, he was replaced by former Tiger Greg Bowser. I believe Greg recently retired…great guy, by the way.
