It’s one thing to be a part of Baylor football history, but it’s another to witness it for nearly three decades. For 301 consecutive Baylor football games, there has been one constant reporting from the sideline. Through blazing Texas heat and pouring rain, sideline radio analyst Ricky Thompson has been there for it all.

During Baylor’s 38-28 win over Oklahoma State on Oct. 26, Thompson received recognition during a break in action for reaching the milestone of 300 consecutive games covered on radio. It’s been a long time coming for Thompson who joined the Baylor radio team back in June of 2000.
