This season will be his 30th as the PA announcer in Tiger Stadium. All while holding down a regular job.


I like Dan fine. I think he can go a tad over the top on some calls, but all and all he serves his purpose.

But saying "all while holding down a regular job"? Come the frick on!

I'm going to just assume Honkus is trolling because I refuse to believe I'm associated as a fan with such stupidity.

Maybe I missed it elsewhere, but is this new footage of the stadium? It appears to be up to date south end zone construction. (Going off of sun location & PMAC but Im not a boy scout or anything)

You can't be serious.


Chance of rain...NEVER is a fricking awesome LSU tradition. My friends from other SEC schools have always told me how awesome that was.

My Ole Miss friends (I went there) always used to talk about how awesome our PA guy was. I remember specifically them telling me the "home in the western sky" thing gives them chills even though they hate LSU.

I'm glad you hate Dan's phrases and poems because they aren't going anywhere for a very, very long time.


Cool story:

Dan was a member of my Catholic church growing up and he'd always read scripture. Nothing like that voice to wake you up during a boring mass. Sounds the exact same in the Sunday setting.
