LAHAINA, Hawaii
An iconic voice of Kansas athletics is calling it quits after this college basketball season.
Bob Davis, who has served as the play-by-by broadcaster for the Kansas Jayhawks for 32 seasons, will retire in 2016, KU announced Tuesday. That means Saturday’s Sunflower Showdown at Memorial Stadium will be his final college football broadcast.
“I’ve been really lucky to be the ‘Voice of the Jayhawks’ for 32 years,” Davis said in a news release. “It was a dream job for me when it happened.”
Davis, who graduated from Topeka West High, started at Kansas in 1984 after spending 16 years broadcasting Fort Hays State University sports.
