saints radio announcer history

[timmyb]

hi.

i am trying to document all 32 nfl teams' radio anouncer history.

this is what i have for the saints crews thus far:

2005: jim henderson, hokie gajan
2004: jim henderson, hokie gajan
2003: jim henderson, hokie gajan
1995: jim henderson, archie manning
1992: rick trahan
1976: wayne mack, dick butkus
1975: john ferguson, steve stonebreaker
1974: john ferguson, steve stonebreaker
1973: john ferguson, steve stonebreaker
1972: bill mccolgan, jim taylor

if anybody out there may have more info to help fill in the gaps, i would be extremely grateful!!

i should be able to come up with 67-69 info. 1970 & 1971 info was unavailable from the source that yielded help on most of the other nfl teams (broadcasting magazine).

meanwhile i will continue to dig and may be able to compare with you here.

the atlanta board was VERY hepful with the falcons info.

again, thanks for any help from anyone.

Thats a great compilation, indeed.
The only surprise that sticks out to me is John Ferguson in 1990 and'91.
I just don't remember him doing play-by-play at that time.
I can remember him doing the LSU and Saints gig in the early 70's.

As an aside, I remember the Wayne Mack and Dick Butkus duo well.
I was running the board during the infamous last second "hail mary" losses
to Atlanta in the 70s. Those two guys were so P-O'd they actually cancelled the postgame shows right then and there. We must have had more than a dozen spots to make-good for the next game. The station manager was not happy.
