"Thanks to all the ones that like me, and even the ones that don't. Boomer Sooner."

We'll probably have a new Bob on the radio next year if it's Carpenter.

How bout them apples.
 
He has contributed a lot to OU over the years.

I wish him well!!
 
Im going to miss Bob, he is all I know for Sooner radio. Sure he missed alot of calls and messed up some names, but it really didnt matter to me. There was a comfort knowing Bob would be calling the games, he was like your kindly grandfather. God Speed Bob, Ill miss you
 
Sat and chatted with him in the terminal through a 90-minute delay for my flight to KC for the 2008 Big 12 Tournament. I found him to be a very sweet, genuine man. He did not go out on top, and he stayed far too long, but I'd give just about anything to do for one day what he did for 50 years.

Good luck to you, Bob!
 
I think if you did 04 you'd have an even greater respect for what he did for so long.
 
Great guy. Have heard him on radio since 1956 and the Norman High days. Always like how Bob would paint a picture for us on down distance and position on the field or court. Live long and prosper Bob.
 
My gues is WHERE ARE MY HOTDOGS?
