Goal by Farmer.... A three point goal by Richie Farmer... his 4th.. three point goal...

John Tong was the best. Just enough of a homer that you knew where his loyalties were but not the cheerleader that most current PA people have become.

 

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center and Fairgrounds Stadium for the thrill and excitement of college football as your University of Louisville Fighting Cardinals take on the Tigers of Memphis State University...

 

Now please rise as the University of Louisville pep band plays our national anthem. This is everyone's song, please join in and proudly sing...

 

You clock operator is the veteran Richard "Rosie" Rozelle and this is your stadium announcer John Tong bidding you a very pleasant good night and reminding you to please drive home safely...

In the late 70s GA Tech had a player named Tico Brown who got fouled in the act of shooting. As he went to the line to shoot his FTs I can remember John Tong saying: “At the line, Tico for two”. Classic.

The earliest memory burned into my brain from a sound perspective is John Tong’s voice...”Goal by Silliman”. 1961 I believe.
