Iconic sports broadcaster George Blaha reflects on lengthy career

During the golden age of the 1950’s, it was Ray Charles’ soul music which dominated the radio. But Saturdays were reserved solely for college football.

And somewhere in this golden age, sports broadcasting icon George Blaha found a soulful voice of his own.

For the better part of the last four decades, that voice has come to represent years of Spartan football history — and just as many years of Detroit Pistons history.

But in all the years of uttering “Touchdown, MSU” or “Count that baby and a foul” it never gets old for Blaha, and there’s nothing else he’d rather be doing.
