Sure they will do something. They honored him at halftime a couple of years ago also which was very moving.

No doubt that will also happen again as they did with Bobby Denton.

A jersey patch would be good.

Gh6.

They'll do something, but it was just announced a couple of hours ago. There is no way they have started thinking about it yet. Give it some time. Coach Fulmer will take care of it.

Deserves to be in the college football Hall of Fame.

Bet there was a crowd at those Pearly Gates this evening.

Based on previous memorials, look for a helmet sticker.

100% agree.

Needs to be on the jumbotron. If we order a crane now should only take 5 to 7 business years

I was watching a replay on youtube of John Ward calling the Tennessee Kentucky basketball game from 1975. JW was a great football announcer, but anyone who ever listened to him call a basketball game knows he was without peer in that sport, too! No one used his signature "bottom" to describe a made shot in hoops. Plus his description of the action was so spot on. That is the sport I have the most memories of him, especially in the King/Grunfeld era.

Maybe just a microphone and JW.

Ward cut his teeth calling Basketball games. He was the best without a doubt. He will certainly be missed.

Might rename one of the entrances to the stadium

 

[VolsnRavens]

I think he should go on the ring of honor in the stadium. He belongs there. They'll never be another like him.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

He was so excellent at football and basketball that he should be Honored for both sports.

I like the idea of a Orange Basketball beside a Orange football.

Inside the Basketball are his initials...JW.

Inside the football are GH6 for Give Him 6!

JW GH6 is just him all over.

He'll be missed but never forgotten!

THANK YOU for all the great memories and God bless you JW!

VFL...GBO!!!

Start a new sports radio station, and call it WARD.

 

[MurphyVol]

John was way too unassuming to have wanted something like a statue. Does the press box already have a name? If not that would seem fitting

This ^^^^^^^ 100 times...
