Jim Hawthorne, retired just five months ago after 36 years as LSU's play-by-play announcer, hasn't been heard from by family and friends since Saturday night when his Baton Rouge home began flooding.

I hope he's ok

Me too. I like Jim. Hope he's not without meds or something.

Holy Cow!

Probably has AT&T. Likely ok.

I wonder if I should start reporting people missing because I haven't been able to get in touch with them
(ESPN will replay this story angle for the first 6 weeks of the season)

Has it been 24 hours?
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:13 pm to TypoKnig
Someone tweeted saying he hasn't been heard from since last night and the media took off with it
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:18 pm to TypoKnig
They said on the news that he does indeed have an AT&T phone.

I hate to break it to you but we're not that big of a deal anymore that they'd run a story about an old announcer that didn't have cell service for a day.
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:21 pm to TypoKnig
I hope he's ok but nearly everyone with AT&T hasn't been heard from in about 18 hours.

That person was Michael Bonnette.

It's probably just a rain delay.
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:32 pm to TypoKnig
Hopefully he sought shelter in Tiger Stadium. He would know as well as anyone that it never rains there.

He tried to phone in saying he is OK, but he made too many mistakes in his call
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:39 pm to Kafka
Good one. Hope he is okay though.Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:41 pm to Kafka
Isn't that the damn truth...
Posted on 8/14/16 at 4:42 pm to tigerbutt
He has AT&T.

You have no idea how starving ESPN is for entertainment.
Promise you hear it every game the first 6 weeks
