Roan to Retire

[Redbird60451]

If your lucky enough to have watched this guy over the years on WGN, you know he's always done his best to mention the 'Harvard of the Midwest' when they allow him to sneak that in. Been a great representative of how far a start on TV-10 will take you.

Raise your hand if you remember Dan Roan on the freshman basketball team at ISU!!

I know of a guy who retired and then spent years doing play-by-play at ISU...Does Roan follow the same path and return to his alma mater to jump on the mic? Probably not, but it'd be a fun retirement job.

Always enjoyed him and his iSU/Collins mentions when I lived in Chicago.

Dan was working in Champaign when I came to ISU in 82.

Dan's final show is tonight.

I heard him on Jason Goff's podcast. He didn't mean ISU at all, though he did mention DA Weibring in telling a story.
