Ed Macauley never resorted to histrionics but you could tell where his sympathies lied. "Muster the ballcarrier," "That was Plunkett to Vataha," simple and descriptive. There was no artificial event going on Angel Field so you were free to wrestle with your sons on the grass. You could hear the band. No brutal canned music. The old stadium where my kids collected bottle caps 25 years old discarded on the dirt mound that supported the bleachers. An early afternoon kickoff so you could sneak an ice cream after the game and still make a movie in The City at 6:30.

Now you have a system effuse with ageism and noise. I'm glad I'm done.

Macauley was the best.  Didn't he also do radio broadcasts for Stanford away games, or was that somebody else?

I believe that would have been Don Klein.
