My favorite memories of Dan were him announcing the starting lineups right before the band walked out.

They should play a recording of his voice in the pregame for chance of rain, and also when the sun sets in the western sky.

Absolutely should do the same with "Ladies and gentlemen....it's Saturday night...in Death Valley, and here come youuuuuur fighting Tigers of LSUUU!"

I really don't want to hear Bill Franques make that call any more. As good as he is at The Box, he's just too upbeat for Death Valley.

Would he even make it through the pregame announcements before being too hammered to talk?

A little off topic, but one afternoon probably 15 years ago, I was listening to Rush Limbaugh and this caller had this distinctive voice which I thought sounded very familiar to me….. it was Borne’. Unmistakable.

Just because T-Bob doesn't have a brain it doesn't mean he should be Borne's replacment...

I don't think he wants it full time.

Bill is a true LSU man and always steps up when needed. Hell, he has even filled in on PA for women's basketball games. But I think LSU will look for someone else.


If they hire the clown who does women's basketball, the band coming down the hill, and a few others things, there should be riots.

Love the idea of the recorded voice.

Bob Sheppard would be so proud. Just ask Derek Jeter. Number 2.

So who’s in line for that job? I say give it to Jimmy Ott. We can get betting tips while he eats dinner over the PA in Tiger Stadium


That would be priceless

One time I was at a graduation party and Borné was there. There was a restroom in the pool house. It was large, but only for a single person to use obviously. The door didn’t lock, though. I was taking a piss and Borné opened the door. He saw my back, as I was midstream, and apologized. Such an iconic trip to the bathroom for me.
