I like Jim because ba ck in the dAy you had less games on tv.it must be his vision I don't remember him making as many mistakes back then Plus he does a better job calling basketball than the other two sports even though it's a faster paced game,he is closer to the action.

Jim is good. Try listening to other school's announcers and in general they are way worse.

It's a direct quote. JH is still A-OK in my book! His predecessor, John Ferguson, had some great ones, too.

You want to hear bad, listen to the two idiots doing the Florida games. Had to listen to them on GEAUX Zone last week. I'll take Jim any day!

he brings excitment to the game of baseball his passion for LSU... I know a lot of people complian about him but I listen to him every game for baseball and football no matter if there is tv or not I listen because of his passion he has for LSU....


I like him even with all of his mistakes... His passion overcomes his mistakes!!!!!!

I don't know why people get so mad. Does he suck, yes, but does he provide me with great stories of his epic fails, absolutely. Cost and benefits

A whole generation raised to accept mediocrity as excellence. The "grading on the curve" generation, if you will.

At least his excitement seems to be back with this baseball team.

When you do play by play for 13 football games, 25 or so basketball games, and 50 or so baseball games, you gonna mess up.

If you look/listen for the mess ups, you are gonna find them.

JH can call my games any time!
