i must be in the minority. i like hawthorne

Maybe that's the problem, 30 years is too long.

When I am getting involved in a basketball game, I need to watch it to visually process it, or at least have someone that doesn't suck tell me what is going on without stumbling for words. It's too nerve wracking and stressful for me to listen to someone incompetent call a game, I mean I almost had a heart attack there.

Ok would this have been any different had you visually watched it? People come one! Its like all you people expect him to know whats gonna happen before it does! HE IS HUMAN!
Your tellin me you all always know exactly what is going on immediately in a game? Always know whats gonna be a HR? Who fouled who? People GET A LIFE!

I understand the "voice of the team" position, and that has its merits. In this era, I'd rather the MSU announcer if he could describe an untelevised game better.

It would have actually, he makes things so confusing that I get headaches hearing him call close games like this. I can't visualize what he throws out there.

frick yall, Hawthorne is awesome. Until you have even come close to what he has done for LSU over the past nearly 30 years then come back and say something. I wouldn't want anyone else behind the mic for LSU!
He has been well paid with a great job, and is and has been a second rate announcer all along. We just settled for bad a long time ago.
