Over a broadcasting career spanning almost 60 years, Dave called more than 4,500 Louisiana Tech games—including football, basketball (both men's and Lady Techsters), and baseball—and 36 summers of minor league baseball, culminating in his 2019 induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. He shares candid stories from the booth, his enduring love for the game, and reflections on what's next after an extraordinary run. Thanks for listening to The Drive with Paul Swann!Love the show?
