John Ward...........

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

This will give you chills....enjoy!

 

[JustFunnN'Orange]

Oh what I would give to hear that voice again..every time the Vols take the field!!!

 

[BleedinOrange]

You dont know what you got till its gone. Makes what we have now sound even worse.

Kesling sucks balls. The Vols faithful deserve better than Kesling. We need a new voice of the Vols.

Agreed.

John, was from a different era. Unfortunately, there will never be another radio person like Ward in the age of ESPN.

This is true. There are very few personalities left that can raise goosebumps with their commentary. It's all about cameras and presentation now.

Yea I got goosebumps. I sure wish he could comeback to do like 1 or 2 games a year.

It's much better that his legacy remain a golden memory.

No sweeter sound than GIVE HIM SIX, TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE and who can forget Tennessee Florida 98 " NO SIREEE NO SIREEE"

 

[give_him 6]

Perfect way to start the week. I have my secretary play that same clip over her computer speakers each Monday as I come into the office. It really gets me going, but then its all bad news from then on.

Sweet Sassy Molassy, if that don't get your fire started, your woods wet!!!!

I miss the voice of the Vols as much as anyone, but even when Kesling calls the spreading of the T starting the Kiffin command against UCLA in 4 months....I'll be standing with cold chills:clapping:GO VOLS!

 

[utmba93]

His contributions to making Tennessee football what it is today are simply immeasurable.

I'd happily turn the TV off to listen to John call one more game.

 

[utvolpj]

agreed although I'd still like an announcer that could make me feel like my tree stand was sitting in Neyland again

 

[G0V0LS33]

:cray:Man I miss him!!!

 

[orangeblooded2]

I would always turn the sound down on the TV and listen to John Ward on the radio.
I took great glee in watching Keith Jackson jack his jaw and hearing john's voice.

 

[VolinConcord]

He is a classic. I wish he would do at least one game a year.

[orange+white=heaven]

Watching John on the last 'Phillip Fulmer Show', I really don't think he's up to doing a game any longer..

 

[vols5790]

What will it take to get some new blood in the booth, Bob is so neutral it makes me sick.

 

[VolinConcord]

I realize he is retired and he will never announce another game, that is why it is a wish.

JW is a hard act to follow, but Kesling is woefully lacking. It would help if he knew the players numbers and how to pronounce their names. I enjoy Tim Priest and Jeff Francis, but I wonder why UT never went after Bob Bell or Mike Keith to replace JW.

Good Memories of turning those jerks off on T.V. and listening to someone we know is on our side!
