I’ve tried to like him. Very professional sounding and his baseball calling is pretty good. But for football he just doesn’t have it. Most of the time, he is calling big plays with zero enthusiasm or spark. Watch the first part of this video from last night for example. The two long runs by Williams and Guice right at the beginning, you would have thought it was just 10-15 yard gains. I wish we could have found a local guy who has LSU in his blood.

You just don’t have it to be writing sentence structure.

But the video is great.

The Spanish guy, speaking English, would do it. With Les on color.

Don’t disagree but Blair is very good calling basketball and baseball games. His weakness is calling football

I have to agree. Don’t know what it is but I don’t really like his football calls. It sounds artificial or something. Listen to foster Moreau’s TD as well. You would have had no idea at first how wide open and in the clear he was for a TD

Doug Moreau makes the radio broadcast unbearable.

I listened to it and found that kind of weird and out of the norm for him. If you listen to last week's calls he was VERY enthusiastic and excited. But for whatever reason he was lethargic this week. Maybe he was just spent from last week

But he's growing on me because I think he's becoming more and more of a fan. Anyways to each their own

Once he falls in love with thr Tigers he will become passionate about them and sound like Verne during an Alabama 80 yard run.

Blair sounded like he had just won the game and a million dollars on Culp's kick to make it 24-23.

I was thinking the same thing. Just needs to get more excited when the Tigers succeed

I think he does an excellent job. I don’t want to listen to some clown yelling at me. I think of the Gators’ Mick Hubert for example. He’s is horrible to listen to.
