The radio broadcaster for my alma mater died yesterday morning unexpectedly. It's impossible to think of sports without his voice.

Who do you regard the same way? Broadcasters past or present, TV or radio, who add so much to the game that it's not the same without them.

And why?

My alma mater is Auburn, and Jim Fyffe was the play-by-play guy for 22 years. He died yesterday at 57 of a sudden brain aneurysm. He started when Pat Dye came to Auburn and he was the voice for Auburn's greatest era in football and basketball. His familiar cry of "Touchdown, Auburn!" was his signature call.
