Tribute to Bob Ufer

A tribute to the greatest college football announcer. Ever

[@WolverineHistorian]

He passed away when I was in my crib but I never get tired of hearing his old broadcasts.

Such great memories - My Dad always had the Michigan games on radio when I was a kid.

Amazin' ! Grew up listening to him in A2 and loved hearing recent radio re-broadcasts on UM's off week during the season. Thanks!

God Bless Bob Ufer and all of those who bleed Maize and Blue !!!

[@goblue918]

I love his horn that he used when Michigan scored! Go Blue!

I grew up listening to Bob Ufer airing Michigan games. It's been many years since his last broadcast, but his is still the voice I remember.

My dad went to Michigan and he said that when you listened to Ufer, the other team didn't exist. It was all about Michigan. Gosh I wish I could listen to just one game nowadays where the announcers were biased for the Maize and Blue. No one even compares to this guy.

During the 1970's, we'd watch U of M on television without the sound listen to Ufer on the radio. Those were the days. Ufer honking Patton's horn, the rivalry of Bo and Hayes, the toilet paper flying across the stands of the Big House...nothing will ever match it. Thanks for the tribute!

My Grandpa played football with Bob at Michigan and they were pretty good friends. He passed away last month and among his other things, I found a talking Bob Ufer bobblehead he had. Pretty fkn awesome.

::chills:: We've been ardent fans since the early '60s. He would be so proud of the way MEEEECHIGAN has rebounded. I can hear the mighty MEEEEECHIGAN Marching Band's pregame street chant.....GOOOOOOOOO MEEEECHIGAN! BEAT state! GOOOOOOO BLUUUUUUUE!

[@JCAKK48]

Very true... Ufer (and my dad) made me the MEECHIGAN fan that I am!!! GO BLUE!!! p.s. how about the game this past saturday!!! Ufer would have been screaming his head off!!!

[@needtolooselots]

Thanx for the memories benny....GO BLUE!!!!!!

@Bubba33Thomas I can still see them after all these years. Leach destroyed OSU while he was there (unfortunately). Obviously I am an OSU fan, but I still think Ufer was great and I miss the 10 year war.

[@JCAKK48]

[@WolletBullet01]
