the verne ludquist thread

[Hagbard Celine 11236]

although he is retiring from broadcasting this weekend with his 40th call at the masters, the football forum is more appropriate for his sendoff given his association with the rise of the local sports reporter as symbiotic with the franchise he (now he/she) covered

the most obscure lundquist fact:

he was featured on the cover of the 1st edition of the book of the subgenius in 1983:

Was wondering if I was the only one that remembered him on there.

Thread did not say he died. Whew. Great guy, though the Masters name should change to The Khashoggi Open.

Apparently Verne has a hog down south

He narrated the official 2005 Longhorns National Championship DVD, so that’s awesome.

Oh, and he called the greatest college basketball games of all time, Duke v. Kentucky in 1992.
