After 52 seasons, Washington State Cougar fans will not hear the familiar voice of Bob Robertson on Saturdays.
Robertson, the long-time Cougar play-by-play man and now analyst, announced his immediate retirement, the school announced on Monday.
Robertson, 89, was also a long-time broadcaster for Tacoma Rainers games for more than three decades. In August the franchise named the broadcast booth after Robinson.
“I’ve been with the Cougars a lot of years, more than half a century, calling basketball, football for the fans around the Northwest and elsewhere around the country and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it,” said Robertson in a press release.
