It depends on how good of a play by play announcer she was.
Some of the ones they have on television now just have irritating voices.

I'd probably, at first be like, that's kinda odd. Then after a few minutes completley forget and focus on my Tigers getting the W.

I care very little about radio or TV personalities calling games. Half the time I'm watching 4 games (YouTube TV) with most of them muted anyway...

Hawthorn was good because his voice was unique and familiar. Back when 3 maybe 4 games a year were on TV and all we had was radio at the camp or whatever, you knew when Hawthorns voice came on it was game time. I guess it’s a long way to say nostalgic.



I agree. Back then I would dig out my radio for a game and tune into WWL. I would hear his voice, and I knew it was on like Donkey Kong. Saturday night in Tiger Stadium!

Don't think so.

Healthy Living: Study says guys naturally can't hear woman's voices.

Women announcers are the worst.

Are there any good women announcers? Any? Just one?

I synch up the radio broadcast with the muted TV & have done that for years.


Radio is faster than TV… so you know the outcome before watching it?

If she's good, it would come out alright. But there's nothing like the steady strength of a man's voice in a man's sport.

Women can play, too, but it's gridiron battle generally for men.

With radio being streamed on LSU sports app & tv being streamed or on network, you can always synch up both feeds to your liking. I usually intentionally put the radio about 3-4 seconds ahead, so I can know the play right before I see it.

Lots of people are saying doesn't matter, say they don't listen to the game on the radio or who cares if it's a female.

Maybe it's because I'm older, but I still associate LSU sports with a recognizable voice (Hawthorne, and now Blair). I think it would detract from the experience, because I've yet to meet a woman in person who cares about sports like guys do.
