Verne Lundquist reflects on Alabama, Tiger Woods, Happy Gilmore & a legendary career
Manage episode 451326822 series 3590243
Some of the most iconic calls in sports history belong to Verne Lundquist. The longtime voice of the SEC on CBS, Verne has seen just about every major rivalry in college football. But he says no fanbases hate each other like Alabama and Auburn (and few fanbases like to accuse him of rooting against their team as they do). And as beloved as he is for his football announcing, Verne's calls for The Masters, like the iconic Tiger Woods call, also stand the test of time. And, of course, there's his scene stealing cameo in Happy Gilmore.
This week on The Golden Age with Eli Gold, we're joined by Lundquist, Eli's good friend and fellow broadcasting legend. Verne shares some of his favorite memories from his legendary career and talks about his special relationship with Nick Saban. He also confirms that he'll appear in Happy Gilmore 2 and shares stories from behind the scenes. Have you ever seen anything like that?
