June 21, 2017 | Football, General, Men's Basketball
Bob Rondeau, longtime voice of Husky football and men's basketball, will be honored with his 11th Washington State Sportscaster of the Year Award on Monday.
The National Sports Media Association presents Sportscaster and Sportswriter of the Year awards for all 50 states and the District of Columbia each year. The 58th NSMA Awards Banquet will take place next Monday, June 26, in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Rondeau, who announced this spring that the 2017 football season will be his last at the UW prior to retirement, has won the award 10 times before, in 1981, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1998, 2010, 2011, 2012 and, now, 2016.
The 2016 winner of the National Football Foundation's Chris Schenkel Award, Rondeau was also inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame last fall. He began his UW broadcasting career in 1978, when he started out as a radio color commentator for Husky football. In 1981, he took over as play-by-play announcer. He's also spent 31 seasons as UW men's basketball play-by-play announcer.
