I would love for John Ward to call one more

[Volgrad98]

Since the Battle at Bristol is now official, how great would it be for Tennessee fans to get John Ward to come out of retirement and call this game?

Now I don't know his health status or if he would even would be interested, but since this is being billed as the biggest college game in history, John Ward calling the game would be only fitting.

So tell Mr. Ward to dust off that old microphone and give it one more go!

I've always thought they should let Ward call the homecoming games...that is if he wants to.

My guess is that he is enjoying retirement.

I hate John Ward idk why anyone would want him to come back.

I'm sure he is enjoying retirement too, but I do see him around ever so often. I saw him at one of the earlier games this year while we were waiting on the Vol Walk.

I must be honest I really just wanted to see the wrath of Volnation

I would love for John Ward to be cloned in a lab somewhere so he could come back and broadcast for us for another 30+ years!

Should've let it go on a little longer than 10 minutes then!

UT football has been spiraling down since he retired in 2000.

We it worked on me anyway haha. I remember on Saturdays on the farm we would turn the radio on to listen to John Ward while we worked. Every time he would say Give Him Six it would send chills down my back.

Since 2015 is the 125th year of UT football, 2016 marks 125 full years, so why not have him call the game? Timing fits perfectly.

This is an outstanding idea. Bob, Beeeeeert Berberblblamp, and Mr. Ward would make a great team as long as Bob doesn't speak. But, seriously, this is POTY material.

Any occasion to hear John back in the broadcast booth would be great. On the other hand, it is utterly impossible to top his farewell message, "THE NATIONAL CHAMPION IS CLAD IN BIG ORANGE!!" That's what you call going out at the very peak of your game.

He retired after the n/c game 98.

He retired in 1998 after the NC game against FSU...But you already knew that didn't you? :thumbsup:
