Jim Hawthorne is the legendary Voice of the Tigers. He was on the radio call of thousands of LSU events for 35 years, retiring after the 2015-2016 basketball season. Hawthorne, a native of Anacoco, La., and a 1967 graduate of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., has called some of the greatest moments in the history of LSU Athletics. As the Voice of the Tigers, Hawthorne has been on the broadcast for all six of LSU's national championships in baseball, two national titles in football and three Final Four appearances for the men's basketball team. Since taking over play-by-play duties in 1984, Hawthorne hasn't missed an LSU football game, broadcasting 380 straight games. That streak has included some of the most unforgettable moments in school history, which includes a 21-14 win over Oklahoma in the 2003 BCS Championship Game as well as the 38-24 victory over Ohio State in the 2007 national title contest. Hawthorne has called 22 bowl games for the Tigers and he was behind the microphone for the “Earthquake Game” against Auburn in 1988, the 28-21 win over No. 1 Florida in Tiger Stadium in 1997, and the “Game of the Century” in 2011 when top-ranked LSU kicked a field goal in overtime to beat No. 2 Alabama, 9-6, in Tuscaloosa. Some of the highlights of Hawthorne's career calling men's basketball include Final Four appearances in 1981, 1986 and 2006 along with five SEC championships. He introduced basketball fans to some of the best players to ever wear the LSU uniform in Shaquille O'Neal, Mahmoud Abdul-Rouf (then Chris Jackson), Stromile Swift, Glen Davis, Brandon Bass. He also called the final two years of Rudy Macklin's career with the Tigers. As LSU's baseball play-by-play announcer since 1984, Hawthorne has described some of the most memorable moments in school history, including all 57 of the Tigers' games in the College World Series. In addition to his role at LSU, Hawthorne has held play-by-play jobs at Northwestern State and Centenary College as well as calling Texas League baseball and World Football League broadcasts where he worked alongside talk show legend Larry King. His first play-by-play job came in 1961 at Leesville High School where he called play-by-play for the Wampus Cats football team. Hawthorne is married to the former Juanita Carol Thomason, also of Anacoco, and has a son, Joseph William, two daughters, Jaime Lynn and Amanda Ruth, two granddaughters, two grandsons and one great granddaughter.

Meet Jim Hawthorne at the Keynote Address on Saturday, February 11, 2017 from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM.
