Did I hear on Cullota this morning that Hanagriff would not be doing any color at all this year?

Pretty sure Doug Thompson is the guy for that now.

Henagrift is out
Right around time he announced Cameron was gone, but he still might be right since no contract has been signed

Wonder if Blair will do PBP entire game or sub out during middle innings to do color analyst

I know a lot of people don't like him but I love him being in the booth for baseball. He knows the game and I like hearing his take on things as well as his descriptions. Very disappointing to me regardless of the Cameron fiasco.

Some of y'all are really reaching for some Hanny butthurt. He explained that they made him an offer, her countered and they decided to split ways. It was done way before he made the Cameron comment.

He is very knowledgeable about all LSU sports history. I'm not a huge fan of his analysis and i think him and Jimmy Ott feed way to much into the catastrophe syndrome to appease their listeners on their show.

Love him or hate him, he knows the game and different scenarios very well. Not saying Doug Thompson doesn't, but Hanny was very good in that spot.

Do you know how many games that team lost that year? 13 including 1 in the SEC tournament championship and 1 in regional play to South Alabama. That is just unacceptable and I'm tired of LSU fans accepting mediocrity. Undefeated championship seasons are bust in every sport every year or else why even have a program.

Was definitely way before this...that couldn't come to terms on a contract agreement.

I agree, he was very knowledgable about baseball and I enjoyed his take.

Funny...I really like him a lot as a radio sports show talk guy but can't take his exorbidant dead air time when he does tiger baseball.

yea I really don't understand the Hanagriff hate at all.

He's arguably the best media guy around the program and has been for a long time
