The longtime voice of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Dave Nitz has decided to retire as the radio voice of football and basketball but will remain behind the mic to call baseball games. The 78-year-old Nitz says he’s been considering this transition for about one year.
Nitz said, I finally got to the point that I said maybe its time for somebody else to handle the football and basketball.
Nitz has been the voice of Tech athletics for over four decades and has called over 4,000 games as he enters his 48th season of Bulldog baseball. Despite his long career in Ruston, the West Virginia native says he never thought he’d be here this long.
