Longtime University of California broadcaster Joe Starkey announced he will be retiring from the booth after the 2022 college football season.
The Hall of Fame broadcaster is most known for his play-by-play work during “The Play,” the infamous kickoff return that ended the “Big Game” between Cal and Stanford in 1982. His most famous line, “The band is out on the field. He’s gonna go into the end zone! He got into the end zone!” came as the Golden Bears ran through members of the Stanford band to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.
