Download Football Time In Tn - MP3 Ringtone Football Time In Tn by John Ward - Free Music Hosting
been my text alert for the last few years, i love it when it "accidentally" goes off in a meeting!!!!!
No doubt, John Ward is THE icon from my youth in terms of Tennessee football. I just can't think of anything else that begins to compare to his voice and what it reminds me of. He was the best.
I should add that he was also absolutely AMAZING at calling basketball games, and he said more than once that actually preferred doing basketball to football.
From the hard court my two favorites would have be:
"He shoots . . . BOTTOM!"
And
"He shoots . . . STRINNNGG MUSIC!"
I used to listen to all of the basketball games on the radio. I started listening when the Ernie and Bernie show was in full swing. He had some great phrases.
Ernie G of Tennessee.
King of the Volunteers
Pops, drops.
Good and that gentleman was fouled.
Twinkles the twine.
You walked, sir.
