Talking when people point at me most of my life. ISCO & UofL BB Radio PxP. Former Rams/Avs/Nuggs/Cards PA. Sir David Frost once told me: “You did a fine job.”
I owe everything to this amazing
@LouisvilleBSB
team and coaching staff, for allowing me to hop on their coat tails for a 5th trip to the College World Series. And thank you to the loyal fans and listeners. I am numb.

Hey
@CardsPA
, enough of the drawn out threeeeeeeeeeeee. We get it, you like/want/crave attention. 5 seconds is a long time to listen to you carry on
#GoCards
With all due respect to an event that would have happened for the 146th time today, this once in a lifetime moment is what today is about for me. So proud of my son Erik on his graduation from Wright State. Special thanks to
@tomhanks
for the keynote address.
#TakeFlight
It is amazing to me that a coach that has been to Omaha more times than he has missed the NCAA postseason talks for 17 minutes and some rogue media that wasn’t there takes 14 seconds out of context and runs with it.
#BeBetter
I sure hope I remember how to do this. Here’s to Opening Day number 24 with
@LouisvilleBSB
and 22 on the mic. Let’s have some fun out there today.

@LouisvilleBSB
@CardsPA
did he have a great call for the obvious strike that was called a ball right before the homerun? did he also have a great call for the obvious out on second base?
Wish I had been a part of the ceremonies today honoring
@Lj_era8
- throwing it back to when Lamar and I were on the front page of the Courier-Journal. Don’t ever say I’m not photogenic.
#L1C4
It is easy to overlook this time of year, but
@ArthurAlbiero
and the
@UofLswim_dive
men’s and women’s teams both finished top five at the NCAA Championships. The only program to do so.
#L1C4
Farewell, March - I logged 27 games in 31 days on the mic. The Cards went 20-3 in games that involved them. Some epic individual performances and some records broken. On to April.
#TimeForAColdOne
I am so thankful to be on the mic for my 22nd season. Thanks in advance to all of the listeners - especially the interactions on Twitter. See you at the ballpark.
#L1C4
From attending games in the 70s to covering the team in the 90s to spending two years on the mic….this is surreal. NBA Champions.

#MileHighBasketball
This is a lot. I get it. But it’s a lot. There is nothing in my 49 years that provides me context. Do we shut down movie theatres? Does Broadway go dark? Churches? Malls? I get it. But this is a lot. Wow.
There are many things that I miss about being on the mic with the Cards, but Senior Days may be the toughest. Three or four years with an athlete, but I do not share in the final home game. Congrats
@Danaaakianaaa
So proud of you.

#L1C4
So disappointed that I could not be in Louisville today to meet
@CoachChrisMack
and welcome he and his family. Excited about the future. And his hair looked great.
#L1C4
I guess it is a thing now. Four times I’ve been on the mic for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and all four times the National Champion has emerged from my venue. 1999 UConn 2012 UK 2016 Nova 2019 UVA.
#Charmed
The air is crisp, the leaves are beginning to turn and the Cardinals’ Nine is gearing up for the 2021 campaign with fall scrimmages. Yes.

It has been ten years of the modest tradition of celebrating my birthday with a drink that bears the milestone in its name. Cheers to 49th Parallel Vodka and 49! Thank you for all of that reached out.
#Cheers
For me, this was a top five game in my time at Louisville - standing on the roof of the press box in a blizzard on the mic. Electric crowd. Insane action. And the historic win. What a team - what a game.
#L1C4
Can someone please give me an explanation as to why we can’t spring forward 30 minutes next spring and just end this Daylight Savings nonsense? Split the difference and call it good.
#WhyNot
Interesting to note that the Cardinals' 2019 Super Regional opponent East Carolina played the Cards in the first game in Jim Patterson Stadium history on April 15, 2005.

I wish I were there today to celebrate this well-deserved honor with you
@Specter_Smit
Thank you for the unforgettable moments you provided us with and the incredible ambassador you continue to be. Enjoy.
#L1C4
Completely unnecessary but very much appreciated Mr. Wright. I am humbled. They take the best 16 teams to the Super Regionals - not the 16 best radio guys. I've been riding coat tails for 23 years.
#L1C4
Sometimes I feel like we don’t deserve people like
@chadwickboseman
- a brilliant beacon of goodness, dignity and class. Rest In Peace and Power. Thank you.
It is strangely serendipitous that I wore this sport coat to work today of all days. Not sure I have the proper words to honor a legend like Denny Crum here. Maybe on the broadcast tonight.

@BMilled15
and
@zbritton33
- it has been an honor to be on the mic to call your collegiate games on the radio. Congratulations! If only the 2020 season had been completed. I can’t wait to follow your path.
#L1C4
I try to take great pride in my preparation and technique, but I just didn’t feel like I could park here for the MBB luncheon. A bit presumptuous if I had.
