Former voice of Oklahoma University football and basketball, John Brooks, will be the voice of Union High football once again in 2010.
For 13 years, from 1978 to 1990, John Brooks was the voice of OU football and is well known for his “Jiminy Christmas” call. Brooks also served 16 years as the play-by-play for OU basketball. After his stint at OU, he also served as play-by-play for Tulsa University, Northeastern State University and the Oklahoma City Blazers of the CHL. Brooks is a member of the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Kevin Ward, program director of The Sports Animal, who also worked with Brooks on the Sooner Basketball Network in 1990, will fill the role as color analyst for the Union broadcasts and says, “our mission here at The Animal, is to bring our listeners the very best and with John Brooks, we’ll give Union football fans the best!” Brooks will also appear on The Sports Animal each Tuesday and Thursday during the football season.
