    All-American MemoriesIt was a privilege and an honor to welcome Eddie La

    Baron, All-American at College of the Pacific, combat marine officer, NFL quarterback, and ultimately gen-eral manager of the Atlanta Falcons, to the OTA dinner and speaker’s podium last Spring.

    Still standing tall and full of stories beginning with football at COP under legendary coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, he moved on - with time out serving as a Ma-rine combat officer in Korea - to memories of life in the National Football League in the fifties and early six-ties. He smiled, remembering George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, his first NFL team who, Eddie said frequently, “players were getting much too greedy.” Following a Pro Bowl game, legendary Big Daddy Lipscomb, one of the biggest and strongest

    defensive tackles of his day, told Eddie (in front of Ed-die’s wife), “I’m going to kill you!”

    An exceptionally warm and lively question and an-swer session followed with our All-American (in every sense of that word) patiently responding in detail. A privilege and an honor - it certainly was that.

    TIME OUTBy Manny Agorastos, CAL ‘57

    Darr Ahern Honored by The Olympic Club at the 50 year Members Dinner for his

    71 years association.

    Tom HallAlso honored by The Olympic Club at the 50 year Members Dinner for

    his 51 years association and he happens to be the designer/photographer for this publication.

    Otis Byrd Concluded his 2007 officiating season in December, working the

    Independence Bowl game in Shreveport, LA. Between Alabama and Colorado University. This was his 2nd bowl game in the last 5 years.

    Way to go Otis! Next, a BCS Bowl assignment?

    Bill Henneberry, Dick Huxley and Bob St. Clair Honored as members of the USF Dons undefeated, untied and unin-

    vited 1951 Football Team at a two-day Fiesta Bowl Ceremony. January 1st saw the induction of a Don’s team jersey to be a permanent display

    in the Fiesta Bowl Museum and January 2nd the team was honored with a video tribute highlighting the team’s accomplishments

    and history, being aired nationally during half-time. By the way, West Virginia crushed Oklahoma.

    Dick Davey and Mike Montgomery Dick, retired Santa Clara Basketball coach and our guest speaker back in April ‘93, joins Stanford as an assistant head coach. While, Mike, ex Stanford & Golden State Warrior coach and our guest speaker in the fall ‘91, becomes CAL’s new head coach. He returns to Maples Pavil-

    ion January 17, ‘09. Should be exciting!

    Lou Signer Playing on two knee replacements and an injured hand, “The Bionic

    Man” won the U.S.H.A. National Four-Wall 70 plus B singles championship last year at the University of Minnesota. He was worried about his knees, but they were awesome, and advises all others who are aching out there, “If you are going to have the replacement done,

    just do it and don’t be scared.” Semper Fi, Lou! Currently he coaches handball at CAL.

    By Ray Wilson Our fall dinner guest and speaker, Bob Fitzgerald, is a thirteen-year veteran of San Francisco’s KNBR, a sports-talk formatted AM radio station. Bob also does play-by-play telecasts of Golden State Warriors basketball for the last 15 years and the San Jose SaberCats arena football league’s only voice in the franchise history (14 years). 24/7 sports talk radio is a fairly new AM program format, following in the earlier model of all-talk and all-news radio broadcasts. All-sports first aired on July 1, 1997, after a change in call letters, at WFAN in New York City. A few days before WFAN had been WHN, which featured country music and the Mets games. Among WFAN’s first hosts were Greg Gumbel and Jim Lampley. It didn’t hurt that Don Imus was part of the package, kicking off the day’s programming with Imus in the Morning. Imus himself didn’t care much for sports, but occasionally pretended to be interested. At any rate, WFAN was and remains the leading sports talk station in the country, regularly outdrawing even the ESPN 1050 flagship station in New York. WFAN established the formula for sports talk formatting with a combination of talk and play-by-play programming, holding

    broadcast rights to the New York Giants, the Mets, New Jersey Devils hockey, and Nets basketball. Its play-by-play affiliations are deemed essential to WFAN’s success, setting up, as they do, call-ins to the regular sports talk hosts. The formula swiftly spread across the country with every medium- to large-market now featuring a sports talk station. San Francisco’s KNBR follows this formula with a combination of sports talk and play-by-play programming. In addition to San Francisco Giants games, KNBR’s play-by-play lineup includes the 49ers, Warriors basketball and SaberCats football. Besides the local connections, KNBR is an ESPN affiliate, broadcasting familiar ESPN features: Sports Center and Sports Nation. Bob Fitzgerald, who has promised to

    take us inside the world of sports talk radio, is in some degree, however, a local product. He was born and partly raised in Chicago, where his father worked as an electrician at Comisky Park, home of the White Sox and of course, Harry Carey, a Hall of Fame broadcaster. Taken west with his family, he was enrolled in Serra High School, the same high school attended by Barry Bonds, Tom Brady and Lynn Swann among others. Following Serra he returned to the Midwest and Notre Dame. While at Notre Dame he realized a childhood dream, doing play-by-play of Notre Dame football games on the student-run radio station. Graduating from Notre Dame he next took a masters degree in sports management at Ohio State. Returning to the Bay Area, he worked for seven years at the Oakland Tribune writing a sports column, “The Final Say” while listening and studying, as he says, to Bill King, Lon Simmons and Hank Greenwald. He eventually joined KNBR where he remains today, partnering on the 12 to 3 PM slot with Rod Brooks.Most recently Bob served as play-by-play man for water polo at the Olympics in Beijing. Our guest and speaker, brings a wealth of varied media experience to the podium and special insights into the burgeoning world of sports talk radio.
