I know that I’m biased, but I think that he is one of the most incredible stadium PAs I’ve ever heard.

His voice is so stoic. He’s up there with Bob Shepherd from the Yankees in my book.

So who’s in line for that job? I say give it to Jimmy Ott. We can get betting tips while he eats dinner over the PA in Tiger Stadium
Pretty sure being able to speak in complete sentences is a qualification for the job so Ott’s out unfortunately.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this thread (as is always the case when I think of Borne). Most iconic PA announcer moment of my life, anywhere, ever.

Thank you for decades of joy, Mr. Borne.

Dan Borne' is a irreplaceable legend. He IS the voice of the Tigers. I feel like a part of my childhood is dying.

He will definitely be missed.

He's the only announcer I've ever heard for my whole life. He started the year before I was born.

Last home game I’ve been to was Auburn ‘23. Last year I didn’t get a chance to go between work and life, I do plan on taking dad to a few games this year (or maybe convince him to take me, either way

You can make the é by holding it for a second (@ least on my phone.) Using apostrophe is weird.

I don't think he wants it full time.

Bill is a true LSU man and always steps up when needed. Hell, he has even filled in on PA for women's basketball games. But I think LSU will look for someone else.


Agree. I think he's probably already got enough on his plate, but i can't really speak for him. He's definitely LSU through and through, though. I think they'd probably find someone new to take the gig full time, but I think franques is almost by default the fill in man for any lsu announcing, and that alone is pretty cool.

I'm sure that Borné is probably a good guy, but I've always HATED his voice and the job that he does.

That "SCOOOOOORES" thing is stupid. It's just corny awkward cheerleader nonsense. A PA guy is supposed to convey information... not act like he's in league with the guy in the tiger suit.

When he started doing that during the Shaq days, I actually mailed a physical snail-mail letter to Joe Dean, begging him to fire that idiot before he gave me a brain aneurysm.

Needless to say, my letter fell on deaf ears.

I'd say you must be a hoot at parties but I doubt you get invited to any.

To me, similar in how he said "peenalized" or other words, it was a way to ensure his announcing was understood clearly and stood out from the crowd noise. The NWS has a guide for speaking during a weather alert, and while his style wasn't anywhere quite so severe, but it seemed he did tweak some words or expressions.

Regardless, Dan Borne will live in LSU history forever, having been a part of so many events and having done his job so well. He is also a great person, well liked by those who have known him.

My memory from the 2007 Florida game..”a final from Los Angeles…” you know the rest.

Obviously this was before everyone had a smart phone
