Tributes pour in for KU broadcaster Bob Davis
Bob Davis will be stepping down as Kansas broadcaster following the basketball season, KU announced on Tuesday.
Davis has been the play-by-by broadcaster for the Jayhawks for 32 seasons, and also used to call Royals games.
There was an outpouring of good wishes sent Davis’ way:
First met Bob starting out in Hays and followed his great career ever since. Thank you, Bob, and happy retirement. https://t.co/p2usXyd05L
