Bob Davis, voice of the Kansas Jayhawks, announces 2016 retirement

Bob Davis, the voice of the Kansas Jayhawk football and men’s basketball teams for 32 seasons, announced Tuesday he will retire following the 2015-16 basketball season.

The Topeka West and Washburn graduate will call his final football game Saturday when Kansas plays host to Kansas State at 3 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.

“I’ve been really lucky to be the “Voice of the Jayhawks for 32 years,” Davis said. “It was a dream job for me when it happened.”

Davis, who also spent 16 years broadcasting Royals games on radio and television, began calling KU games in the fall of 1984.
