“Tennessee fans, and rightly so, were incensed by the call. They’d dodged one touchdown bullet as a result of the Florida penalty, but they believed that they’d just been robbed by the same officials. It was a thrilling and controversial finish to my first game as the voice of the SEC. When we got off the air, I looked at Todd and asked, “Are they all like this?” Grinning, he said, “Well, enough of them are.” I had no way of knowing this then, but making the move to the SEC was the most significant assignment in my career.”

“Similarly, pre-enrolling in seminary—I had to get a bachelor’s degree before I could formally attend—was another kind of start. It got me moving in a direction. Whether that would end up my final destination was uncertain. I was a Christian, of course, but whether I had a calling beyond devotion was still to be decided.”

“Barry had done some negotiations on my behalf and he agreed that I would go to Columbia, South Carolina, the first week of March to do a Gamecocks contest against University of Nevada–Las Vegas (UNLV). This was a limited regional broadcast through six affiliates—four in South Carolina and one in Reno and one in Vegas. He sounded very pleased with himself. My guts roiled. “But I’m still at ABC. My contract with them doesn’t end until after that game is long gone and in the history books. Now you want me to put on a blue blazer and do a basketball game?”
