Hatthorne To Do Play-by-Play

Hathhorn is a complete bore. I would prefer to hear Larry Richert on play-by-play among the current pinch-hit options. He probably is a little rough around the edges in terms of calling action, but at least he has a good voice and radio pedigree.
In the long-term, Pitt needs to find a younger, better option.

Ugh - no Larry Richert. We'll have "Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza!" dropped every 5 minutes or so.
I believe he will call a good game and keep the listeners better informed on stuff like correct yard line of scrimmage and down and distance. Also accurately noticing penalty flags that Billy H would miss.
With someone competent, hopefully.
Although Pitt fans probably wouldn't know what to make of that after all these years.
I don’t know how old Hillgrove is, but it couldn’t be more obvious that his alcohol issues have deteriorated his ability to call games coherently. Age has nothing to do with it... Vin Scully, Ernie Harwell, Bob Cole, Al Michaels and many others have called games well into their late 70s/80s and kept it together. Billy was really good in his heyday, but that has long passed.
Yes. She is lucky she isn't jail for encouraging murder.
Yeah, he makes a lot of mistakes now, but his voice just makes me think Pgh sports.
He and Mike Lange are like the last such guys
