Bobby Denton

I'm gonna miss "Tackled by <insert name> and then a host of VOLUNTEERS!!"

 

This sucks. RIP to a big piece of UT tradition.

 

Alabama courtesy of DJ Hall.

 

It's hard to believe how long he was there. I've seen clips of him celebrating in the PA booth in the late 60's-early 70's time frame.

 

I could be wrong but I believe he began a year prior to Ward in 1967.

 

don't act like you knew they were gonna throw it his way. nobody did.

 

This upcoming season would have been his 50th.

 

Yeah, it was '67. Hard to believe.

 

I didn't know he dated Dolly Parton. Heh.

 

RIP. Home games will never be the same for UT. It's almost like he spoke for the stadium.

 

Much like Bob Sheppard with the Yankees. They become the voice of the stadium.

 

Solid. Was trying to come up with that name earlier. We should do what they did and reuse his voice for certain situations.

 

Once Jeter retires his voice will be gone from Yankee Stadium.

 

This one hurts. There won't be another like him. I hope they will continue to use his voice for "It's football time in Tennessee". I can't imagine anyone else trying to do that.

RIP Mr. Denton

 

This sucks. I've been to 100+ games at Neyland. It will be weird as hell to not here his voice the next time I'm there. A damn shame my son won't be able to here him announcing.

 

Sad news for VOL fans everywhere!

 

I'm impressed as crap that he dated Dolly Parton

 

I tried to explain "Pay these prices and please pay no more" to one of my friends who has never been to Neyland. Immediately after saying it I realized it's one of those things that you could never explain to someone, it's just part of the game day experience that I'll always treasure.

 

An absolute giant of a man. They don't make characters like him anymore.

 

Talk about playing motorboat...
