sounds as familiar to fans attending home games as the marching band halftime show. As another college football season kicks off, and the cross- state Coug-Dawg rivalry heats up, we thought it only fitting to give you a look at the men making the big calls.
ERIC RADOVICH UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
> Day job: Executive Director of the Washington Beer Commission
> Years with Husky football: Started announcing UW Football in September, 2007.
> How he got the job: I had done 12 seasons as the PA for UW Men’s Basketball, 19 seasons of UW Women’s Basketball and 9 seasons of UW Baseball on the radio. There was a search for the new football announcer af ter I filled in for the 2007 season and I was selected in April of 2008 to be the full-time announcer.
> What do you enjoy most about announcing football games? The energy I get from the crowd when the team makes a big play.
> Favorite Husky football moment: Being at the Rose Bowl when the Huskies won the National Championship. As an announcer, I really enjoyed the win at home against USC in coach Steve Sarkisian’s first season.
> Signature call: “Thirrrrrrrd Dowwwwwwwn!” Low and resonant when the opposing offense has the ball of course.
> What are some of your other interests away from the field? My son Seaver (17) and daughter Anna (15). I’m also an official scorer for Seat tle Mariners baseball and the press box announcer for the Rose Bowl game each year. I like to play golf, and when I can find the time I like to hike and camp.
