re: is there a Jim Hawthorne sticky-worthy announcement?

Those may not be the same thing, fwiw. I remember people complaining about John Ferguson. Then when he left, people talked about how great he was as an announcer.

Hawthorne will be called the best LSU announcer in history.....not long after he moves on.

For the record, I loved Ferguson. I grew up listening to him and never missed a game.
Hawthorne will never be called the best LSU announcer in history (by me at least). I've listened to a lot of sports radio, and he's one of the worst I've heard. He gets facts wrong, he doesn't let the color guy do his job, he doesn't give the score, he's negative, he anticipates the call before it's made (many times wrong) and he constantly criticizes the officials, referees. I do think he has a good voice, but I think LSU can do better.
