Here is a clip of ULM's Frank Hoffmann who has been calling their games for 37 years. His voice is very distinct...too bad he is too old. The beginning and at 1:36... LINK

Couldn't be anymore wrong with this statement, it even makes me laugh a little. As far as professionalism and respectable person, you will not find one better. All around great guy.

the LSU announcer needs to have a bit of Huey Long showmanship in his voice. Hawthorne had that, Rollins does on a TV level, and Wright has it





Wright is as square as they come. He's rigid without much personality. All business. How in the world did you come to this conclusion?

I spoke with a non-LSU guy who knows Kelley, and he told me that Kelley would be a great hire. Said he is genuine, very polished and intelligent.


Of the names leaked so far, he seems to be the best choice.

Sean Kelley would take the job. This is a big promotion. I love the Pelicans but I'm sure the radio gig pays no where near what the LSU job would.

And those saying he doesn't sound "LSU enough" are fricking retards. Who cares if he's from St Louis or something?

He is an excellent play by play guy.

Frank Hoffmann is terrible and there is a reason he is calling ULM games

That's all that matters.

For anyone interested, here's a link to a clip of Kelley calling the final out for Tulane to win their regional in 2005. Sounds pretty damn good in baseball, too.

Wright sounds like the nerd who reads the announcements every morning before class.

Rollins is not much better. He's straight out of Dry Prong.

Been nice if they could've lured in some guy like Kevin Dunn.
