I've spent most of my life behind a microphone. As a kid, I realized the power of the spoken word, hanging out with my dad while we talked to people around the world via ham radio. Later, I put that penchant for communication into practice and ventured into radio and TV.  I've worked for a few television stations in North Carolina doing sports reporting and anchoring before transitioning to voiceover in 2015.'This Day in Sports History' evolved from a lifetime of watching, listening to, and going to ballgames, reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles about my favorite teams and sports heroes. It's not only a labor of love but a voyage of discovery, finding those forgotten tidbits or fascinating things I never knew. Takeaways: The tragic plane crash of Southern Airways Flight 932 in 1970 claimed the lives of 75 individuals, leaving a lasting impact on the Marshall University community. On November 14th, the Marshall Thundering Herd football team faced a heartbreaking loss before their ill-fated flight home, highlighting the fragility of life in sports. Survivor's guilt affected many who were supposed to be on the flight but weren't, showcasing the emotional toll of such tragedies. The story of the Marshall football team is remembered annually, with memorial services honoring the lives lost in the crash. Sewanee football team achieved an incredible feat in 1899 by winning five consecutive games in just six days without being scored on.
