Two thirds of the Earth are covered by water and Jared Mitchell covered the other third to make that catch

(Two strikes on batter, man on first)

Jim: “The Tigers need to advance the runner but may be hesitant to bunt on third down”

I really heard this

You can't win if you don't score runs. Usually when LSU was behind to a midweek team

Washington has the ball 3rd and 1 at their own 29.Handoff to the running back off right tackle he crosses the 30 and cracked down at the 35. Wait the referees are signaling first down I dont understand why they arent bringing the sticks out for a measurement the ball is sitting right on the 35 they need to measure that.

Jim: Davis lays it up and in and he’s fouuullled! Glen Davis is absolutely on fire in this first half!

Kevin Ford: (quickly) 8 points 7 rebounds

Long Pause

Jim: Now, how in the world does he have 8.7 rebounds?

Kevin: 8 POINTS 7 REBOUNDS

I about ran my truck off the road laughing.


2nd place- Anytime Jim would complain about mound visits, pitching changes, weather delays, or stepping off the rubber. It was like he had the worst job in the world!

“Oh my!”

“And he did it again!”

“I just cannot believe this!”

It was mostly whining.

There it is. I listened to many more baseball games than anything else he called over the years.

"My Oh My hit's hit a ton!!! Andddddd caught at the warning track"



Yeah, that was common, and is common among a lot of announcers. Sometimes you misjudge the flight of the ball.

These people saying that he did that on infield popups are making that up.
