Got to love Gardner. He just described a tackle by Temple this way:
"Kids, that's what a form tackle looks like"
How are the kids supposed to know what it looks like ON THE RADIO?

Its called imagination. Some of us, very old, have followed SMU via radio. Once there wasn't an Internet or ESPN or other visual outlets. Descriptions help paint a picture in our imaginations. A great radio announcer is a magician. I really appreciate one tha can paint the picture with words.

That's why I loved listening to baseball on the radio growing up. Got to use my imagination of what the play looked like as they described it.

I live in East Texas and years ago I would have to get in a certain spot in my back pasture to get reception. Poor cows couldn't understand why I would jump out of my pick-up and start kicking the sides. Of course, occasionally I would do a victory dance. But not often enough.

When I was a little kid I used to go to bed with a transistor radio under my pillow and listen to the Cardinal games.
Now all the youngsters can google transistor radio to figure out what that was.

And then resurrect transistor radios like they have radio players and typewriters.
