Ah, good times. And no, I was not at the game. That's because you don't go in person. Who was the radio announcer back then? :naughty: Title: Re: 77 years ago on this date.......... Post by: droner on October 20, 2017, 10:04:05 EDT The Vols radio network wasn't established until 1949. The first announcer was Lindsey Nelson. Before that it seems that different announcers called the games for various radio stations.
Those of us listening to the game in 1940 did so by receiving Morse Code. :old: Title: Re: 77 years ago on this date..........
