I recently had the pleasure of coming across this on Twitter and reposting it to YouTube.
Al wasn’t as popular as the Larry Munson’s and John Ward of his day but he is an icon whose legacy is still alive today. However, I‘m so young I missed his heyday by a long time. I grew up with Wes Durham as a wee kid (we still are treated to his great work when we play on ACCN), Brandon Gaudin gave us good memories in his short time here, and I’m very pleased with the work Andy has done. Andy and Joe are a perfect duo for Tech football!
The point of this thread is to share memories about Al and his broadcasts. Now I do know about Al’s most famous partner, Kim King. I have a connection with King in that my grandfather was a Freshman at Brown High when he was a Senior. Kim is a legend and because he outlasted Al, his work with Wes in the late 90’s and early 00’s I have listened to.
Reason I do this thread now is that Al spent 43 years (1954–1997) at Tech, and yesterday marked 43 days until as he would say “TOE MEETS LEATHER.”
