He pronounces it as MACdonald’s, with a lot of emphasis on the MAC

It was his 1st game. He was about like our offense. Pretty blah. I hope he improves. Be yourself.

He better bring his announcer-A-game for Florida next week. We’ll need all the help we can get. He needs to start the testosterone injections tomorrow to get that rich timber ready

Well Borne always said MacDonalds and Peenalized. It was obvious McMakin was trying to imitate it

I wasn't there but I'll be at next Saturday's game. Did the new guy do "when the sun finds its home in the western sky" schtick before the kickoff? That MUST continue.

Dixon McBacon becoming the new announcer is possibly the most South Baton Rouge thing that has ever occurred

No doubt in my mind this poster is Mike Smith (gymnastics PA guy) or a close relative.

Yes, he’s following a legend and it’ll take getting used too his voice but I feel they could’ve found a better voice.

How did you feel about Doug Moreau's radio work for LSU?

Come to think of it, I don’t think he did. Hopefully I was too distracted and just didn’t notice it.

I think it's pretty funny that they hired a dorky, pudgy, politician for the job.

How much does that job pay anyway? I check 2 of the 3 boxes

No no no. He got the job by reading at church.
