But i hated listening to him call a game. he had some great individual calls, but sometimes he would get so lost in emotion over a game I couldn't tell what was happening.

Never got to hear him call one live, but listening to the clips he sounds like a passionate fan with his dream job honestly.
Like having your grandpa do play by play lol. I can see why so many would enjoy it as a fan of the team. You don't need to hear your local guy pumping up the opponent.
Hawthorne was the only voice I knew growing up so of course I loved his calls even though he would also get so excited he would forget that Jack Hunt was a white Safety not a Black WR. It's those things that kind of endeared themselves to the fanbase over time.

“Dawgs ball on the State 22! State stacked up there in that 6-2 that’s been givin the Dawgs fits all ...day ...long!”
He had some of the best descriptions of the most mundane moments like above. He would almost shout the second “State” in the above and then emphasize and draw out “out day long” A simple sentence to describe a 2nd and 8 in a 13-10 game midway through the 3rd quarter. He was a one of kind.

Hey. He's not my cup of tea. If you liked him great.
If I am listening on the radio I like to know what is going on.
Like I said, he had some great individual calls, but as a whole I didn't care for his style. If you don't like it, then....tough.
