My little secret about listening to the game...

Ok, so it isn't really my secret, but a friend told me about it and I be damn if he wasn't right. This works out great if you can't get out of an event (ie wedding, funeral, tuperware party)

Call 504-593-2156. This a phone number to WWL. It will automatically connect you to Hawthorne's play by play. Worked like a dream last week when I was at my sister's halloween party. However, I eventually became that d***head that stayed on his cell phone all night.

Check it out when the game starts.

 

Yeah, this works really well. A few Tiger fans and myself were stuck at a wedding on a gameday (obviously, neither the bride or groom were LSU fans) so we kept swtiching off who would call to get updates. Word got out and by the end of the night we had nearly everyone in the place stop at our table at least once and ask for a score update.

 

You are the man.

 

awesome!

I've been known to take my little radio (that I use when ever I go to baseball games to listen to the radio play by play while in the ball park) with me when going out to eat with friends. I just put in one ear bud so I can listen to a game and have one ear open to half way listen to conversation at the table. It helps that I have long hair to cover the ear bud.

Most friends just laugh, but we were out to eat with my husband's best friend and his wife one evening, and the wife took offense. Screw her. I kept it in and listened since it was Oklahoma State Basketball in the elite 8 against St. John's that night. When John Lucas hit his shot to win the game, I startled at least half of the people in the restaurant!:hihi:

 

I have unlimited long distance...I'm going to try this tonight!

MAD PROPS

That was AWESOME

 

The problem is listening to Hawthorne. You literally never know what's going on on the field of play. He never gets the call right. The color guy has to constantly correct him!

Tonight he was really funny. After an incompletion on 2nd and ten he announced on the next play that it was first and ten.

When the crowd wanted LSU to go for it on 4th and 1 and went for the field goal instead (when Jackson slipped) he said the crowd was upset that we weren't going for it on third and one. (Color guy corrected him)

Then he said the qb for App St. had a strong arm for a little guy. Color guy said the qb was 6' 3" and 190lbs.

Numerous times he was WAY off on where the play ended. Then when he corrects himself you don't know what to believe.

It's like he falls in and out of a coma the entire game!
