Don Criqui’s voice will forever be associated with the greatest moment in Clemson football history.
He was the voice behind the NBC call of the Tigers’ 22-15 victory over Nebraska in the 1982 Orange Bowl that clinched the program’s lone national championship. Today, on Clemson’s Flagship station, you can hear the call every day on the Roy Philpot show at about 2:45 p.m.
“That was the only Clemson game I had ever done, that great Orange Bowl victory,” he said.
That was the only one until this past Saturday. At 75-years old, Criqui no longer works NFL games, which he did for 47 seasons for NBC and CBS.
