I have no problem with this. I get that sportswriters need to usually remain objective, but sportscasters (particularly radio guys on the so-and-so school radio network) have a responsibility to convey the game and atmosphere as they see it, as it's unfolding. I'd rather hear them excited and into it than neutral and trying to remain calm.


Munson was legendary, but he could also be the biggest nega-dawg if things were going bad.

Oh, he's easily the reason why every generation of UGA fan up until his passing just assumes the worst for UGA sports

Everyone knows what happened, but few know how it was originally called on the radio by now former LSU radio head Jim Hawthorne.

quote:

LSU radio play-by-play man Jim Hawthorne infamously screamed, "Caught! Caught! Touchdown! I do not believe it! That's Jack Hunt." Hunt, a former wide receiver turned safety, wore No. 8. LSU later deleted Hawthorne's mistake from the archived recording. Hawthorne, moments later in the broadcast, acknowledged it was Henderson who wore No. 9.


Finding audio of it is difficult
