I don't care. Your weak defense of Hawthorne's incompetence is inexcusable.

That would be a dream job for most LSU fans, so most of our board "experts" are jealous of JH


I can't speak for others, but I see what you are saying. I just don't think he is very good. As you said, I am entitled to my opinion. But don't say that my opinion is rooted in jealousy.

You should be embarrassed. You have provided absolutely NO evidence that Hawthorne does a good job at announcing baseball games. Other than the typical "If you don't like it, leave." Now THAT is a mature person's attitude to incompetence!

i haven't read any of this, and I do agree that JH is gonna be here a long time and he does bleed purple and gold, bla, bla, bla... But, if you want to hear a decent announcer that is accurate, knowledgable, and can even prounounce LSU players names correctly,,, tune in to the UK audio....

"Evidence"??? Since when is the Rant a court of law? I agree that JH makes mistakes, but no one is perfect- Harry Carey made mistakes and did stupid stuff on the air, yet most Cubs fans still adore the guy and love his statue outside Wrigley Field

No. This is an amazingly stupid remark.

How horrible is your life to have enough time to take out of your day to bash an LSU commentator


It isn't taking any time out of my day. I'm sitting at the computer listening to the game. I can listen with my ears, and still read other things with my eyes, type with my fingers, etc. How horrible is your life to take time out of your day to complain about me pointing out how bad Hawthorne is?

I love hawthorne


Thats fine. Do you have anything to add to the conversation? Anything to dispute the examples I've given?

4) " dumbest fricking thing I have ever seen"
5) "if you don't like JH, then don't listen!!! I doubt anyone has a loaded gun stuck to your head making you listen"

Thanks for being so polite in your posts.....

And that excuses Hawthorne not accurately telling us what is happening in the game? No, it does not.

As I said earlier, the only defense of his poor performance is to defend his performance. This can't be done, so they resort to name calling and pulling the stupid "you couldn't do any better" and "he bleeds purple and gold" cards.

This board is called Tiger Rant.

My remark obviously struck a nerve with you. I wrote it once. You've repeatedly mentioned it.

I hate it when someone says "you're not a fan" because I want anything associated with LSU to be better than it is when it sucks.

I criticize Hawthorne because I AM an LSU fan. If I didn't care what's happening in the game, then Hawthorne can screw up all he wants (and he does) and I wouldn't care.

"Ross goes 5 innings give up 5 hits..."

Was actually 7 innings.

"Then he had the error to open the ballgame"

Error to open the 8th.
