LISTEN: Remembering Bill Anderson with his greatest calls

Legendary Tennessee color commentator Bill Anderson died Tuesday in Knoxville at age 80.

Anderson served as John Ward’s broadcast partner on the Vol Radio Network from 1968-98 and was the co-captain of the 1957 Tennessee football team.

On Thursday, Vol Network shared a montage of calls in tribute to the late broadcaster.

The cause of death was not revealed in the announcement made by the school earlier this week.

“It is indeed a sad day for the University of Tennessee and the Vol Network with the passing of Bill Anderson,” Tennessee director of athletic broadcasting Bob Kesling said in the release.
