I like Gordy, but I don't know if I could hear him call the whole game, play-by-play. He's another guy I have a feeling who could grow into the role. I think he would be better as the color guy.


Gordy Rush will be the next color guy, when Doug Moreau decides to retire. I would bet on it. I predict the broadcast team by 2015 will be Wright/Rush. Not sure who would be on the sidelines...

Hawthorne definitely brings the passion, in a good way. If they do indeed replace him we need someone with a cajun drawl.

I too like Hawthorne. I grew up listening to him. Yes he messes up but I LOVE to hear him call game.

Lynn's not a bad guy and would be an adequate play-by-play guy,


He may not be a bad guy but he is just terrible doing play by play. I can't stand his sayings...seems like he tries too hard.

Hawthorne is awesome! I can't believe some of you clowns want him gone. He is the voice of the Tigers and I wouldn't want it any other way.

let me guess, you are about 25 years old and know nothing else and have not heard other announcers so he is the greatest right?

You're not the first person to suggest Pat Wright as Jim's successor - what does he do that I might hear? He calls the women's basketball games and non-revenue stuff? Has he subbed for Jim?

That he's great at what he does? I guess so, but why say it?

I doubt that seriously.

Rollins has zero shot at replacing Hawthorne.

He does women's basketball (since the mid 90's I think) and softball. Occasionally he will fill in and do a baseball or men's basketball game if Hawthorne/Hanagriff have a conflict, get sick, etc.
