Bill Franques will ... Hultburg said that Dan has a wedding to officiate. ???

Anyway, that'll be different for sure.

Franques also does a really good job keeping things mellow for neutral site games like Regionals and Supers... Probably a good choice

Bill Franques call LSU baseball games.

eta: I think he'll do a great job BUT it WILL be weird. I wonder how well he knows baseball? Talk about cramming for a football roster to get familiar with the names/positions.

Wonder if he'll say "it's Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium" at sunset.

OR if he'll say "chance of rain? NEVER!"

???????

At least our boys will come out of our tunnel and be on our sidelines. Some normalcy?

I already had friends who couldn't get their seats in the north ez so they bought behind the LSU bench. Uber weird.

Borne has 2 or 3 spotters that actually call the game for him. He just repeats it...with his own flair, of course.

I know they always mention the spotter but they better be spot on! I know it'll be FINE ... again just really really weird.

Bill and Dan always sounded really similar to me anyway. I thought they were the same person the first time I heard Bill during a baseball game.

Never been to a game at the box. I always just assumed Borne was THE PA voice of the Tigers. Or at least the major sports.

Good..maybe if we are winning at the end of the game Dan won't be there to tell us to NOT rush the field with 1:30min left and the other team with the GOSH DAMN BALL needing a field goal to tie. I'll never get over this.
