Reading another post about the passing of an ACC sports announcer, brought back memories of Bob Fulton and I could almost hear him saying ... "and now for the post game report from The Big T, your Taylor Street Pharmacy".
It didn't matter which sport he was calling. There was just something special about his voice. Sure, he was a homer but, I NEVER heard him say anything out of line. If we won, you were able to share his excitement. If we lost, you could feel his disappointment but, he always gave you hope that we would get 'em next week.
For those of you who never heard him call a game, he was a part of Carolina Sports history that is now just a memory. He is the one man that I wish I had the opportunity to meet and have a conversation. Was he any good? ... I don't know. But he'll always be 'The Voice of Carolina', to me.
As a personal favor to me, please, please refrain from any knocks about any other announcers. Thanks, in advance.
