Maybe we can get Josh Booty in the booth. I always though he was pretty articulate and he's not doing anything now as far as I know.:wink:
Want to feel better about Jim Hawthorne ? Check out a Texas A&M broadcast some time. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm not in a position to know these things, but I presume Sid Crocker has passed on to that big PA booth in the sky. Can someone confirm? Sid was also quite entertaining as the PA man at the LSU basketball games. "Floyd BAILEY ... the Dubberly Dude!" "DOCTOR Kenny Higgs!" He also had a banter going back and forth with the pep band that was funny." One year there was a promotion that if LSU held a basketball opponent under 50 points, your ticket stub was good for a Big Mac, fries and a coke at the State Street McDonald's. Under 60 and you got fries and a coke. Under 70 and you just got the coke. When the opponent would pass one of those milestones, Sid would call the basket and then say, "Bye bye Big Mac."
I'm pretty sure Sid is still alive. I don't remember that promotion but there was another one where you got a Big Mac, fries and Coke if LSU scored 100. I was at one game where they scored something like 118 or so against some creampuff team and got my free value meal.
I don't mind Hawtorne because he is a fan. But he would be better if he would lay off the whiskey. Hey, I was on the elephant walk!
