At least the PA doesn’t have to lie when he announces the “actual” attendance like he used to.

Watching this, it came to me that few if any event other than holidays and birthdays, have been such an anticipated time year after year for my over 80 years.

Hearing him announce Tennessee football still sends chills down my spine to this day.

I miss John Ward too, but we finally have someone who is close to him. Been waiting 27 years for Mike Keith!

As George Constanza famously muttered, "I think it moved a little." Labor Day weekend only trails Christmas Eve and Day as my favorite time of the year.

My wife and I were checking into a Gatlinburg hotel when we heard of John Ward's passing. After checking in, we walked down to the the gift shops. The very first gift shop we walked into, and the very first thing I saw was the sign "It's Football Time in Tennessee." I told my wife, "wow, what a coincidence" and immediately bought it. Of all the great John Ward phrases, it's probably my favorite especially when The Pride is opening up the T on opening day.

Hearing John Ward never gets old. I feel bad for those Vol fans who never got to experience him calling games.

Second half of the 20th century in the United States will go down as one of the all time golden eras of history.

There was something special about playing football on Saturday afternoon in the back yard with John Ward calling the VOLS games on the radio.

Stopping when you heard, “He’s at the 35-30-25-20-15-10-5-4-3-2-1…Give Him 6! TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!!!!!
