As if I haven't been emotional enough the last 24 hours. This brought tears to my eyes. Love it. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for doing that. That is great. Todays generation has no concept of what they are missing. There will never be another one

kessling sure doesn't help either. he sucks.

If John Ward's family/estate granted permission (and received royalty payments), it might be technically possible to recreate his voice using AI and to have him call football games and even advertise products. For example, this interview of Steve Jobs by Joe Rogan is 100% fake:

We can rebuild him.

so we can get AI john ward to call real time games? still be better than kessling.

I didn’t cry at all. Not one drop.
I’m also a liar. That really got me.

I’m not crying, YOU’RE CRYING!

Thank you so much. At the game last night his voice was in my hand. When we stormed the field I could here him saying "pandemonium reigns"

 

[Manchester Vol]

That was beautiful.

This was incredible. He was of an age where your ability mattered more than your connection with a local television station.

Freak - meet Joseph Bray, your new IT and Media Go-To man/woman.

You're HIRED!!!!

 

[TheManFromTenn]

Awesome

Haven't posted in a long time. Great post. John Ward was the greatest ever. After hearing Kessling's less than enthusiastic call on the game winning field goal I miss John more than ever. Bob needs to retire. He shows no energy in his broadcasts. Should have hired Mike Keith to start with.

Listening to John Ward, I see my dad. See him in the garage, after dark, bright lights inside and yellow pools of light out at the road under the streetlamps. Hood of the car open, but ignored for now. My old man is leaning against the counter by his electric grinder, smoking a cigarette and bringing his head down close to the silver-and-black transistor radio he has owned for probably 40 years. Ward's gravelly voice is coming through the speaker. And every time John Ward gets excited, my dad gets excited. Pumps a fist in the air, turns and smiles at me, says something about those Vols of ours.

My dad died three years ago. I miss having him with us for games more than I miss him anywhere else. John Ward's voice brings him back, every time.

Go Vols!

Oh man, Same here. Remember being a young kid in the mid 70’s, out doing yard work with my dad on a Saturday afternoon because 1) he said so, 2) I just wanted to be with him and 3) I knew we would listen to JW and the Vols game on that transistor radio that had a worn, brown leather case. After the game and the yard work was finished, we’d throw that football around a while. I would run routes in my jersey with #31 on it, Curt Watson’s number.

Do we even have a color guy? Whoever it was didn't say a word when we scored the will field goal. How do you not at least cheer?

 

[21VOL]

Loved it. He was the best !!

 

[Repohellbilly]

That was so Awesome
