KU’s Bob Davis joins 2016 Kansas Sports Hall class

Bob Davis approached the podium at Crown Uptown Theatre and pointed at a plaque of himself, along with the years he broadcast sporting events on the radio.

“I love this picture over here,” Davis said as he looked over. “Look how thin I was, isn’t that great? I think that’s going in the living room for everyone to see it.”

Davis, most notably known as the voice of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball and football from 1984 through last season, was one of 12 inductees into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame on Sunday.

“It’s hard to believe that I spent 48 years doing what I loved,” said Davis, who spent his first 16 years of broadcasting at KAYS-AM in Hays.
